Vocal Vibes Jan 2012 edition – World Parrot Refuge

my guest; WPR founder Wendy Huntbatch

A happen chance drive down the Alberni Hwy led to my conversation with this month’s guest.  Join in as Wendy tells us how a traumatic robbery instigated the creation of a 23000 square foot facility adorned with tree branches, colourful toys and bells for 800+ very flighty residents.

Hi  Cindy

Just listened to your talk with Wendy at the World Parrot Refuge. It was very interesting and informative.;  It is incredible and so very fortunate that we have people like Wendy.  It is heartbreaking to think of what would have happened to all those birds without the refuge.  Wendy, keep up the wonderful work and Cindy, thank you for making us aware of the World Parrot Refuge.  I am sure that there are many people out there like myself that had never heard about the Parrot Refuge. Best of Luck in raising funds for these wonderful birds.

Hi Cindy,

Life is slowly coming back into my body after the toxic infusion on Wednesday !!!  I have not done much at all except feel really yukky.  However – it  is the last time so I have a life to look forward to.

I will check out YouTube pretty quick.

Thank you for everything.   Wendy…
