 "The summer before last Lola went missing. To sum it all up, here is our twitter post. It took “1 billboard, 400 flyers, 2000 telephone calls, 1 psychic, 1 pet detective,2 bloodhounds, the LA Times, ABC news, badass friends and 1 big LA family…LOLA IS HOME!” It took 24 days of her being wild before we could find her. And all she wants now is to cuddle.
This is a picture of Charlie meeting the bloodhounds we hired to look for Lola. And here is a picture of Lola’s billboard after we found her, and Lola's back home." ... Alexis R.

Found….http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jul/27/local/la-me-found-parrot-20100727 |  "This is Greg (human) and Koko (other wise known as her majesty). They are quite the pair. Koko was a gift from the kids and myself a couple years ago. She came to us from a man who could no longer tend to her! Amazingly enough he picked us! She came to us in a small cage and only ate seeds! Fast forward and now she enjoys a large 40x30 macaw cage and eats just about anything Greg will eat! We have been wanting to buy her a Pak-o-bird but between raising 2 children and 3 yrs ago being diagnosed with cancer it just hasn't been in the cards. I would love for my husband to have one of your packs for his beloved girl. She LOVES going places with him as well as was a great source of companionship when I was very sick (she moved into the bedroom with me so neither of us would be alone during the day). She plays all day with me and then in the evening has snuggle time (as pictured) with Dad!
My husband works very hard and has done so much for our family this past couple years! It would be great to see the delight he would have in one of your packs!
Thank you and I hope we win!!!!! You can use either pic. It was so hard to decide which one to use!" ... Michelle S. |  "We go everywhere with our birds" ... Barbara S. |
 "I have shared the last 11 years with 2 Congo African Greys. They are sisters, one is named Daria & the other is Jaime. Like sisters they get along most of the time however they do have their tiffs. They are fully flighted and I try and give them the best & safest lives possible. We would love to try a Pak-O-Bird because they love to go outside! However they have destroyed previous screens in similar types of bird carriers. The leashes are not full proof either. Not to mention it is so hard to get them into them! Plus I have to buy new ones every year since they chew through the leash & I fear that the cord will break. I have lost Daria once when she was little and it is an absolute miracle that I got her back. I consider that day to be my Lottery Day! I feel so lucky. But I have been very nervous about letting them out every spring /summer but I do it so they can enjoy some sense of nature.
If we do win~ could you send 2 since they’ll fight over it! " Tenille |
