Hi everyone. Like many people who visit this forum, this is not the only forum i visit. In fact I'm a moderator on a another forum. Anyway At this other forum which I'm a mod at, a fabulous lady rescued two macaws.
The man before who had these macaws electrocuted one, and neglected and abused both. The one which was electrocuted was a Blue and gold macaw, who also suffers from a severely wing damage. His shoulder was shattered, his wing was broken in two places, both of which the man neglected to repair.
Spazz, the B&G, has already under gone one surgery since he has been in his new home. He now has 2 pins in one wing, and 1 pin in the other. However Spazz's wings still are in horrible condition, and still hang, and his new owner fears that they will have to be amputated.
Suzie, the other macaw, which is a scarlet, also came from the same man as Spazz. Luckily however, not in as bad conditions. Suzie suffered from a scab on his chest from plucking, and various other plucked spots. Suzie is now however healed.
However Spazz still needs a lot of medical care and attention. The lady still needs to pay off the rest of the mans adoption fee. The man has asked an adoption fee of $1300 for both. the lady has paid off most of it, but still needs $400 dollars. As you can imagine, all this medical care, adoption fees, and the fact that she is a mother of three kids, and a breeder, that all adds up. Unfortunately she can't afford afford to pay it all on her own. This is where we step in.
We are holding a raffle to help raise money for this lady so we can help her pay off the adoption fee and at least some of the medical bills.
We need at least 400$ by September 10th, or the man is taking back the both birds, and returning them to the original state. Plus the $800 that this lady has paid on these macaws vet care so far will be also a loss.

This is where i was hoping i could get a little help from you.
The raffle has many GREAT prizes, including a bearded dragon, a gecko, a home made hanging perch, a custom made picture frame and many other cool things. All these things have been donated by members, and we hope to get more things up.
It's $2 a raffle ticket, you can buy as many tickets as you like. You choose the item you want, and buy a ticket for it.
You do NOT have to be a member of this forum to participate in it.
There is also talk of a baby GCC being donated.
I believe to qualify to get the animals you must be in the USA. Canada may qualify too, but I'd have to check on that to be sure. This is just for shipping and security reasons. The items I'm sure can be shipped world wide.

then I would definately get this contract. I'm not even sure if that is a legal way of doing things. I would have words with a few people in the know about that one.
