I am passionate about all Bird and Animal Welfare issues globally. I have found so much information on too many wesbites for everyone to have time to locate, so I thought I'd try to merge all this information into one easy-to-use site. Though much of the information is heart breaking, my aim to merge with like minded Animal lovers and collectively campaign against the increasing Animal abuse on our Earth. I also have a passion to educate and inform people of Animal care. I found that detailed information for the public is limited or too complex and that the everyday companion Animal owner would appreciate simple information on how to enrich the lives of their companion Animals.
