Updated: The Reflector

I asked the council for permission to build 6 - 8 nesting boxes on top of 30 feet poles as to simulate the telephone poles and hopefully get the birds into the nests and off of the telephone poles.

A lot of very important animal and bird lovers are with me to make these poles so hopefully it'll get approved and the birds will find new homes atop these poles.

Though only time will tell.

Here is the Reflector Article.

January 2nd, 2008The Reflector Article

Wow, I can't tell you how busy I have been in the past few weeks. Going back and forth between here and Yacolt delivering seed and putting up nesting boxes.

The counts are as follows: 18 Nesting boxes are now up and I have delivered (with the help of volunteers) 800 pounds of seed to keep feeding these birds.

The Reflector covered a lot of what I was going to post in here so I will just post that article, but it basically fleshes out the facts of Quaker Parrots, it also tells about the improvements that have been happening in Yacolt.

Here is the article.

Yacolt Parrot Picture

This is one of the current pictures taken of the Yacolt Parrots rebuilding their nests after they had been torn down a few weeks ago.

As you can see they are starting and attempting to rebuild their nest once again on the power lines. This is just one of the many nests starting to come up around this tiny town.

Hopefully we can figure out a solution soon to this problem.
