On January 22, the Pueblo Flock of 42 birds (39 macaws and 3 cockatoos) were transported safely from the Pueblo Community Animal Shelter to The Gabriel Foundation headquarters in Denver. Special buildings were constructed in record time for them to be housed. The birds are getting settled into their new quarters with big, clean cages, fresh food, toys, medical attention and loving care.
We are blown away by the interest that has been shown in helping the Pueblo Flock. We are working tirelessly to get them settled. They will be available for sponsorship soon; and following quarantine and full evaluation, some may be available for foster or adoption. There are many other birds waiting to be sponsored or adopted right now, so please consider them if you are looking to help.
Thank you to our amazing volunteers and staff who have made this transition as seamless as possible. And, thank you to everyone who has shown such generosity to this special flock that has been through so much - please help whenever you can, this flock has a long road to recovery.
