A New Roost for a Non-Profit

In the animal kingdom, the undisputed rulers are cats and dogs - more specifically, puppies and kitties. Everyone wants one for Christmas, or wants to get one for their child, or wants to snuggle with one while falling asleep. But this kind of attention placed solely on these two animals means that many other domestic species fall to the wayside - and that’s exactly what is happening to the avians of Lazicki’s Bird House & Rescue, located in Wakefield.

For 17 years, this all-volunteer, non-profit organization has been saving abused and abandoned birds, and eventually re-homing them with appropriate families. Now, due to scheduled demolition of the commercial building housing the organization, they must re-home themselves, and they’re asking for donations to help “offset the cost of higher rent, moving the birds to their new location and any renovations necessary.”

At the time of writing, Lazicki’s Bird House & Rescue had already raised $10,225, with more than 40 days left until the fundraiser ends on December 30. All donations go toward helping the organization continue its mission of rescuing, rehabilitating and adopting out birds. To contribute to Lazicki’s fundraiser, please go to their website.
