I made this card for a parrot refuge in Coombs, British Columbia. When my parents visited them last year they told me all about them and asked if I could make a card for them to sell in their gift shop. All proceeds from their gift shop go towards feeding and vet bills. The reason they opened the sanctuary was to rescue parrots and give them a loving home for the rest of their lives.
I learned many interesting facts during my visit their. For instance did you know that because parrots are very intelligent they can become depressed. All birds that you see in the pet store that have been caught in the wild are lucky to be alive as the percentage of birds that die during this process is about 80%.
The World Parrot Refuge is a very worthwhile cause and I was happy to donate this card. I am hoping to make more items for them to sell in their gift shop.

Wonderful card for a great cause! Thanks for the link, I've never heard of them before. I'm going to B.C. in June, hope I can make it to this amazing refuge.
