What's This? A wind up toy outta your Value Meal. - Wind up toy is the first thing that comes to mind when watching this little guy at feeding time. He runs around in circles and waves his little arm, also known as wings. 07 Aug, 2003 | |

Our Barber Shop Quartet - When this group gets fired up for feeding time, every 15 minutes, music is not the first thing that comes to mind. These tiny babies with the huge mouths are Carolina Wrens. Baby diapers and a cereal bowl make a functional nest. 15 Aug, 2003 |
This is Not my better side. - Peli, is a juvenile Brown Pelican that has a broken wing. Unfortunately, the break had healed improperly before he came to us and there is nothing we can do to fix it. He will never fly so, for now he remains with us as our yard Guard Pelican. And he does a good job of it too... 18 Oct, 2003 | |

I'll be doing a forward 2 and a half with twist....- She came to us unable to walk and nearly dead. Her feet and legs were in bad shape and she still has a problem with her left leg. Though it will never be right, she will be able to survive in the wild. 16 Aug, 2003 |
