MEET OUR VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH!   Melissa Kallick began her volunteer work with us many months ago when she became interested in understanding what birds - cockatiels in particular - need to be properly cared for.  She and her son had purchased a young 'tiel and the adventure began.  Melissa has been such a dependable volunteer, making the drive down from Boulder at least every week and has been a great asset to our small bird room in Building C.  She is now able to help mentor new volunteers in the important cleaning and care aspects of the small bird room and has gotten to know many of the personalities of the birds in that room.  Melissa recently added another bird to her home via adoption from The Gabriel Foundation!  Mica, a female cockatiel joined her other cockatiel, Sunshine and they are becoming the best of friends.  We all appreciate Melissa’s help and reliability!                ^BACK TO TOP
