A Message from Duckie's Human Regarding Duckie's GoFundMe Page:
I created this GoFundMe for Duckie's cause from the recommendations of some of Duckie's followers. I made a promise to myself & Duckie when this started that no matter the outcome (although I hope & pray everyday it’s one that ends with Duckie home safe with me), something positive would come of the tragedy of Duckie going missing.
Imagine if there was something in the form of a microchip (or maybe a leg band for birds) that had actual GPS features? Something easily accessible to most or all economic groups, veterinarians, animal rescue organizations, etc. Imagine if there was an organization funded & dedicated to finding lost exotic animals like Duckie, not just dogs and cats (as all animals are important)?
That is the future that I want to work toward to help lost pets like Duckie return home safe regardless of the circumstances of how they went missing.
The overall purpose of this GoFundMe would be to help fund additional costs associated to trying to locate and rescue Duckie (like hiring search & rescue trail cam/humane trap companies), look into possible solutions to help easier track down future lost parrots and other animals, help create solutions to allow parrots more freedom in captivity without risk of becoming lost and also creating a fund/organization dedicated to helping people with lost/missing domestic & exotic animals (like parrots) like me and Duckie in the future. Whether this would be created as a separate organization or donated (with proof ether way) to an existing animal rescue organization that deals with exotics is TBD.
Printing flyers, constantly driving to and from MA to ME, looking to hire a Trail Cam company to assist in the search, etc is definitely costly for someone who is heavily involved with rescued animals (specifically other rescue parrots in general). Duckie does have her own veterinary medical insurance and an $800 REWARD I'm funding myself for her safe return.
Any donation is appreciated and is in no way required. Just simply sharing Duckie's posts is more than I could ever ask for. Thank you for all of your endless love and support for Duckie.
Love Duckie's Heartbroken & Devastated Human,
Sabrina
