Merlin's 10 Rules |
1. If you like it, it's mine.
2. If I can reach it, it's mine.
3. If it's in my beak, it's mine.
4. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
5. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
6. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
7. If I'm chewing something, all the pieces are mine.
8. If it looks like mine, it's mine.
9. If I saw it first, it's mine.
10. If you have something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine. |

| WE CAN NOT RESCUE WILDLIFE |
|
We are NOT licensed to rescue wild birds. If you have a wild
bird or know of one that needs rescuing, please see our Links Page for "Blue
Mountain Wildlife". They are located in Pendleton, Oregon and are a
licensed, nonprofit organization specializing in WILD birds. If you are out
of that area, please do a search on Wildlife Rescue in your area |

Hi! My name is Merlin and I am a VERY
smart Parrot, you know.....fly, talk, type, chew wood at the same time!
SQUAWK!!! I am going to be writing to you as often as possible
about all the things that are happening at Eastern Washington Parrot Rescue! I
hope you enjoy the articles and information I bring to you through MY
Gazette. (refer to my 10 rules) |

EWPR Establishes Internet Presence
|
|
As a few of our regular visitors have noticed, our EWPR.ORG site
has been unavailable for months. When it did become available to the
public, a domain broker nabbed it and required a huge amount of money to
purchase it. Since we are a non-profit organization, there was absolutely no way
we could have afforded the amount he wanted. So, we registered EWPR.NET. It was
either that or have no domain at all. This was NOT acceptable. The waiting
period is over! We are now online with EWPR.NET to help those that have or
know of birds that need to be rescued and provided with a safe and loving home.
Be sure to bookmark our site!

EWPR UNDER CONSTRUCTION |
| Please understand that we currently do not have a
professional web designer and this website is being designed by one of our
members. If you notice any problems with this website, please email us and we
will do our best to fix it. Thank you for your continued patience and
understanding. |

FRIDAY NIGHT ALIVE - Pendleton
Oregon |
|
FINALLY!! We have added the pictures for the Event EWPR
attended in Pendleton, Oregon.
Check it out!
|
|
The reason we do profiles about EWPR Staff is because the EWPR
Staff believes that it is essential to know something about them BEFORE you decide
to adopt or surrender a bird through EWPR. |
| New Foster Home in Spokane, WA. |
| We would like to welcome Gloria Bendewald to the Eastern
Washington Parrot Rescue Staff! She has graciously opened her home to
Foster Those Without A Voice. We desperately needed a Foster Home in
Spokane and after conducting an in-home visit with her, she passed our high
standards with flying colors. Thank You Gloria for being the
person that you are and having a caring heart that is more than willing to
Help Those Without A Voice! (EWPR wants to thank ALL
the wonderful, caring people in Spokane that sent in Foster Home
Applications.)

A Cheap Bird's Plea
by Joyce Glass
|
What is it that my life is worth
How much will you pay
To what extent would you go
If I get ill today?I
know I'm not an expensive bird
My cost is fairly cheap
But what is the price you put on life
For something that you keep?
My wings still spread out the
same
My heart still has a beat
So why is it that my cousins
Are the ones you hold so sweet?
|
|
I cannot help that I was born
Without a golden egg
Will you still take care of me Or make me plead and beg?
I rely on you to help me
As I can't do it for myself
Will you take the steps needed
Or just put me on the shelf?
So when you walk by me
Please look me in the eye
If it would come down to it
Would I live or die?
