Wings Of Hope New Jersey

Spring 2004

Our Special Needs Medical Fund

Wings of Hope-NJ recently obtained ownership of some special needs birds - Sydney, Zappa and Ollie. The WOH Special Needs fund is designed to help those birds with extraordinary circumstances, entrusted to our care. With your help, Wings of Hope will never have to turn away a bird in need of extra medical care due to lack of funds.  All funds donated will remain in this fund and will be used for "special needs" birds only.

Sydney is a Greater Sulphur Crested Cockatoo who is a severe plucker. She has been under the care of a vet and a bird behaviorist, without success. We have also tried behavior modification, also without success. She is a happy and loving bird who will sit all day, as long as someone is scratching or petting her. She clicks her beak in contentment. Sydney was accepted into the Wings of Hope-NJ Sanctuary Program, and we hope to use her in our Educational Program in the future.
 
Zappa is a Congo African Grey who, for reasons unknown, mutilates himself. He is a loving, friendly bird.  He is under the care of our veterinarian and is doing well. We hope to start him on some behavior modification and put an end to his mutilating. He is currently in the care of a foster home, and we will provide updates to his care.

 

Ollie is an Orange Winged Amazon who was the victim of frost bite on his feet. One is a total amputation and the other is a stump. Ollie was surrendered by his loving owner, as he was unable to keep him any longer. He has a special modified cage, with ladders and platforms, and does well. He is also under the care of our veterinarian.  If you would like to donate to the fund to help either of these birds, or any other special needs birds we may accept, please send your donation, clearly marked "Special Needs" to:
