2009 Our 1st Year Quaker Anniversary Happy Easter Report.
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009.
It was beautiful 72 degree day on the drive up to Yacolt Washington to visit the Quakers. I arrive in the town at the corner of Jones Street & Hubbard. This is one of the corners where a power pole once had a Quaker’s nest.

It's now clear of any nesting material.

As I arrived at the primary old nesting location of the Quaker Parrots.

We video taped this pair of Quakers flying out of this nest.






(On the corner of Hubbard and Twin Falls Road)

We dropped off 70lbs of seed that was donated for the Yacolt Quaker’s survival.

As we arrived at the Glenn Welker’s home, his family greeted me and helped unload the seed.

Josh Welker of Yacolt is in photo above.

When I arrived in the back yard of the Welkers, I immediately saw a pair of Quakers exiting their nest.

4-7-2009 Glenn Welker reports on video about the Quaker’s reconstruction of their nest.







4-7-2009 Video of possible new babies inside the nest, reported by Glenn Welker.

The Welker Family just recently added a new member to their family,

“Lucy” a hand-fed baby Quaker".

“Lucy” Was purchased from their local bird store called "The Parrot Perch of Vancouver."

“Lucy” is receiving plenty of love form the Welker family.

I stop by Nest platform # 2 before sundown to inspect the platform.

On arrival I just missed taking a photo of two Quakers exiting the nest.

Here is a dusk photo of nest platform # 2, where we have had

reports of some Quakers residing.

Above is a past photo of the Yacolt Quakers in 2008.

Now we have reports of more babies in the nest.

Stay Tuned for more Updates.

On Tuesday 01-20-2009

We received a call from a local resident tat they needed to place a bird that they had rescued from a drug house.

While interviewing the Good Samaritan the description and name of this bird named “Rosie” sounded familiar.

A Red Lorie Named Rosie.

This Good Samaritan described certain characteristics that sounded very familiar to me.

And she told me that she had purchased a new cage, and a Lorie Pet owners hand book and plenty of supplies. But just after 3 monhths time of being with her that Rosey had to go.

One of Rosie's new toy's..

Our suspicions were confirmed upon arrival.

This Red Lorie Named “Rosie”

Is the same Red Lorie that N. W. Bird Rescue had taken into our Sanctuary back in late 2002.

Rosie was featured in an article published in our local newspaper,

“The Columbian” in a nice two page article Named “Under his Wing” on July 18th, 2004. The photo was taken by their staff photographer Janet Mathews,

and was nominated as one of the photos of the year.

(Below find the article and a link to the story)

As a volunteer and I interviewed this Good Samaritan we filmed Rosie in action.

Please listen as the Samaritan describe's the series of Rosie's recent history.
( A short video clip below)

Additional video statements from The Good Samaritan, helps explain the story.

( A short video clip below)

Rosie on her new cage.

This unnamed Good Samaritan told us that Rosie didn’t get along with her Sun Conure and she just suffered a divorce.

And her ex-husband purchased the bird from a suspicious man who seemed to be on drugs when he purchased this bird.

(Her Video testimony is below. )

Now that the Good Samaritan has signed the custody of the bird over to;

N.W. Bird Rescue Inc.
After contacting the Battleground Police Department and the Clark County Sheriff Department.

Both offices found no records of a bird of this description being reported as stolen.
The Clark County Sheriff Department did confirm the death of one of the two that was reported to me as the previous owners. 1-22-09 1:44 pm.

( A short video clip below)

For now,

It’s nice to see Rosie...

And all her Glory…

Back home…

Warm and Cozy …
