Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hello I don't get on my soapbox often but when I see an animal being abused it tears my heart out. I own a beautiful Pionus myself and know that this bird is almost unrecognizable as a member of the same family as my bird. I am asking you to take a few minutes out of your time every day for the next few months to go to this site: http://tinyurl.com/y9xg2c and find Maxi: who was horribly abused by her former owner and has been rescued by a Florida Humane Society. The birds name is Maxi - there is a misspelling on the page. Here is the blurb on the page so that you can be sure you are voting for the correct bird: <<<My Name is Max I am a pionus. The cage you see is a long wire cage. It is really not even mine. I live in a rescue and the cage I came in is now a display for the rescue to show what cages not to use. If I win a new cage my caregivers promises it will be mine forever. I will take the cage with me to my forever home when the time comes. I have had a bad life , help me start a new life in a beautiful new cage all my own!>>> If you can find time in your day and compassion in your heart to do this I beg you to do it. I belong to the bird list where this bird was first rescued and have been following its rescue and have been donating what money I can by picking up returnables while walking just to send them $1.00 a week to help with this birds care. I know the person who is asking for help for this bird and can assure you that this is not a scam or a hoax. Thank you. Ila in Maine mailto:sewcraftyila@...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 What are the restrictions on who can vote and how often we can vote? It sounds like a very worthwhile project. God bless.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Ila, Maxi got my vote. I will try to remember to vote every day. I am so sorry that life has been so cruel to you lately. I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers. I am sure that your life will turn around soon because you seem to be a great person. Hugs from OK. GloriaIla <sewcraftyila@...> wrote: HaroldThank you so much for replying to me. Anyone can vote, once per day per email address. They track per browser so what some people are doing, and you can let your conscience be your guide, is voting once in each browser with each email address. I am voting once per day to make it legit. I have at least 7 email addresses so I could really skew the voting but I won't do that.I really appreciate any support that you or anyone else can offer to Maxi. In case anyone is wondering what this bird should look like, here is a healthy pionus like I have:Hard to believe these are the same birds isn't it? My bird looks like the one in the picture above and even though I am his second owner, he has never known anything but loving hands.
