Rest in Peace Rio
On another forum I belong to there's a woman who makes toys and sends them to the research birds at the Schubot Center at Texas A&M University. The birds there were surrendered to the school. There's two groups one has PDD the other has PBFD.

She is trying to raise money for toy parts and shipping. She asked people to give permission to use photos of their birds on items at cafepress.com. I sent her a couple pictures of Pepper and River. She made a category of Pepper items! They are all gorgeous! All proceeds go towards toys for the birds at the university. Here's a link to Pepper's stuff. Gretchen's African Grey : Dot's Shop I am so excited! Pepper is getting to "Pay it Forward" and help other birds in need. If anybody else is interested in offering photos for use please pm me. :)

Now the hard part.... what do I choose to buy??
 
Awwwww....That's so neat!!!! Pepper looks adorable!!! Buy them all.... :)

Thanks! I'm trying very hard to restrain myself from shopping too much! My husband also wants something lol.
 
Our package arrived today! I got a beach bag, pajamas, and a mug. Lance got a hoodie and a tank top. :)

That is so cool!!!!
 
I've got loads of pictures of Merlin on in a facebook album if you wanna take some of those and send them to her? She's more than welcome to use some of him :)
 
I will see if she's taking any more pictures at the moment. Last I heard I don't think she needed any more. She said that unfortunately, so far the only people who have bought anything are the owners of the bird and the general public hasn't had any interest yet.

Aw boo, well I think it's a really lovely idea, but unfortunately being in the UK+skint I couldn't get anything. I hope it takes off, it's a lovely idea :)
