5/7/2023 0 Comments Rescue birds ohioSargent Bilko, a Military Macaw, was bitten on the foot so bad that he bled for quite some time. Which happened quite frequently all the times I was at the rescue helping Connie. She has several large birds that roam freely around the rescue - This allows the birds to get into fights. Many are left in less than minimal cage sizes. The birds, most are not socialized with humans, due to the limited amount of visitors that actually go into the rescue. The front lobby of the rescue, the only part she allows anyone to see has a strong odor of mouse urine and feces due to the infestation of wild mice she has. I also pulled out numerous dead field mice, dead smaller birds, one larger bird when cleaning as well, all in the same decomposed state as the two rabbits. These rabbit carcasses were reduced to nothing but fur and bone, so they had been dead for quite some time. Connie takes in everything, not just birds - Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, anything she is offered even if she does not have the means to take care of it. When cleaning under some cages the one time I was in helping, I found two rabbit carcasses. However, what I don't expect from a rescue is INCHES upon INCHES, layers of dried feces mixed with trash, food, rotting fruits and vegetables that had OBVIOUSLY been there for quite some time. Now, birds, they're messy animals - They poop a lot, they're not litter trained, its expected to see some feces here and there. I have worked as a kennel attendant and at other rescues, I have never smelled so disgusting in my life - I have never been exposed to the filth I was exposed to when cleaning. On all of these occasions I left the rescue smelling far from sanitary, more than just a hard days work at a rescue cleaning up after animals. In that time, I started seeing some major red flags that were signs of a woman in too far over her head and animals suffering due to it.īefore several vet clinics, a pet expo, and a few other events I offered to help clean up the inside of the rescue so that it looked presentable for the public / visitors. I volunteered with Connie and The Bird Nerds Rescue from Mid 2016 up until just recently, November 2017. The Bird Nerds Rescue is not open to the public, it is open by appointment only or if there is an event taking place such as a holiday get together, fundraiser, or vet clinic. The owner of this 'rescue' is Connie Phillips her phone number for the rescue is: **** The rescue's name is "The Bird Nerds Rescue / Sanctuary", it is located at **** Lincoln St E, East Canton, OH 44730. I have been wondering who I can contact to hopefully help several birds, by several I would say a minimum of 100 birds, that are located in a "rescue" facility in East Canton, Ohio. My name is Rebecca ****, I am a lover of all animals, reptiles, dogs, skunks, amphibians, and mostly parrots. Not to attack the owner of the rescue on a personal level, but to say enough is enough, help these animals or give them to someone that has the means and capability to do so. This is my personal experience below, this is what I wrote to several organizations in HOPES something can be done. The definition of rescue is to make safe, to shelter, and to release from suffering. No animal deserves to be kept in less than decent conditions. Please sign this petition, share it with fellow animal advocates and lets put a stop to this cruel treatment of animals that don't deserve it. It is unsanitary to keep birds in the conditions they are subjected to by no fault of their own. The rescue has only ever been cleaned when there are events going on, a vet clinic, etc. The rescue is not open to the public, it is by appointment only. Several scuffles happen between the birds - The animals are in danger of hurting one another due to lack of proper caging for each one. These birds are able to fight and hurt one another as they are not caged and are not supervised all the time. There are big macaws that have free rein over the rescue building once you pass the small, dark lobby that omits an odor from the wild mouse infestation that hasn't been taken care of or is unable to be controlled. There are so many birds, there are not enough cages. The living condition for these animals is far from the minimum needed to ensure they are safe and in a sanctuary or rescue type of environment. It houses several birds of all species, macaws, cockatoos, conures, parakeets, cockatiels, etc as well as guinea pigs and rabbits. The Bird Nerds Rescue is a building located in East Canton, Ohio.
