Missi's Mew

Welcome from Missi, Avian Ambassador at Wild Bird Rescue, Inc.

I came to Wild Bird Rescue in the summer of 2009. Some woman found me on the ground and picked me up. Good thing she knew what to do. She took me to Wild Bird Rescue. At the door, a nice lady named Lila, picked me up and took me into a room called the infirmary. After a complete exam, Lila put me in this large box called a carrier. I stayed there for a few weeks while everyone decided what to do with me. Because I had completely lost my left eye, I would not do well if released back into the wild. The Migratory Bird Act of 1918 says I have to be releasable or be euthanized. Lucky for me Wild Bird Rescue decided to keep me around as their first education bird. I like to be called their Avian Ambassador...I think that sounds more important. Don't you? I will be going out to schools in the fall to help with presentations. I wonder if I get to use PowerPoint? I hope you enjoy keeping up with my trials and tribulations while I am learning how to work on the glove.

It's the last day of school for WFISD. Phee Phew!!! Lila will be spending more time at Wild Bird Rescue. I hope all the students enjoy their summer off. Remember boys and girls, if you find a baby bird, have your parents call Wild Bird Rescue to get advice on what to do. Many times, the nice folks at WBR can help you reunite the baby bird with its parents. Someone is there to help 7 days a week from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.

Lila made me a beauty appointment yesterday. It's hard to get in some of the classier places so I'll have to wait a couple of weeks. The vet in Lubbock is going to trim and shape my beak and talons on June 10. The process of trimming and shaping is called coping. I wonder if the vet gives massages too! Phee Phew
