Each donation also includes a digital fact sheet and certificate, plus a free seed stick to feed the parakeets if you visit them between 10am-4pm on Mother’s Day.

You only have until midnight tonight (Thursday) to make your submission. They will be featured publicly on a poster inside of the Budgie Landing Aviary in Kids Cove  from Saturday through Monday.  Only first names will be displayed.
