BC EXOTIC BIRD SOCIETY
MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
Hello BCEBS members.
We have had an action packed month and our January meeting was very
successful and would like to thank Jeremy and Radical Raptors for their presentation which included Hagrid
the Owl , Diamond the Falcon and Thora the Golden Eagle.
At this time we would like to introduce the members of our
adoption committee and thank them for their incredible time and effort of
getting the adoption program up and running. Dave Kipp (Director), Anne Voute, Kerste Voute, Melissa
Wickens, Sarah Gaffney, Britney Schlenker, Cindy Mair,
Terran Gimpel, Donna Trenkel, Brenda Moore, and Dori Hadders.
The adoption members have had two marathon meetings to set up
procedures with regards to
rescue, foster and adoptions. Please contact any of the above adoption members if you have
any questions. The society is in need of foster
homes, so if anyone is interested in fostering birds please let one of the members of the adoption
committee know.
The executive have set up an account with Coastal Rivers Pet Hospital in Abbotsford, BC. They
will accept donations over the phone and the money collected
will be credited to BCEBS. Ruby Marsh will be taking over
Memberships, so if your membership is due or have any
questions or concerns you can contact Ruby Marsh or contact Dave Ellis.
Please watch the newsletters for upcoming events and if you have a comment or want to submit an article
please send it to me at [email protected] no later
than the 1st of every month. We encourage members to come out
to the meetings and share their views and opinions. Everyone is welcome to
attend the meetings, so if you have a friend or family member who is interested in the society, please feel
free to join us on the 3rd Friday of every month.
Thanks for reading! Editor
FEBRUARY 2016
Every month we have our monthly
meetings to go over new birds that
have come into the program, new
business, and events that will be
coming up that we have been
invited to or that we would like to
attend.
What first comes to mind when
you hear the word Meeting?
You’re probably thinking “OH
a meeting well there boring and
nothing exciting happends "
Well as a matter of fact, we try
to make it fun!
We bring our feathered friends
with us, so once we have
discussed all the important
information for upcoming
events and new birds that have
come into the program, we get
to socialize with other members
and birds while having
refreshments and snacks.
So if you are interested in
attending our meetings, feel free.
We enjoy having new people
come out and see what our
society is all about.

MINUTES FROM JANUARY 2016
MEETING !
The society comes
across many types of
breeds of birds. Many are found unstable
conditions,
abandoned and many birds are also offered
to the club by their
owners.
What a lot of people don’t know is that the
bigger birds need
special attention and they live longer. Some
of the bigger birds
could live over 100 + Years.
When birds come
into the program we
will Foster them for 30 Days so we can
interact with the
birds to see how they react to us, if they
bite, if there sick, if
they favor one sex more than the other,
and so on.
Right now we have a
few birds that are in the program that are
available for
adoption. We will post a pick and there
adoption status.
Thanks the
Adoption
Committee
