 Mouse University
Speaking
of babies and what it takes to raise them, I’d like to take this
opportunity to describe a great fun(d)-raising idea initiated by our
Volunteer Support Team last Christmas. Mouse University
Scholarships! Purchasing the Bachelors, Masters, or Doctorate of
Live Prey packets helps us fund the nutritious food these youngsters
need to get them through Mouse University and out on their own in the
wild. What the donor gets are a raptor stuffed animal or finger
puppet, a prey finger puppet, and a certificate. Won’t you
help? These make great gifts!
Bachelors Degree - $30
Masters Degree - $50
Doctorate Degree - $70.
Purchasing or raising a nutritious, fresh, varied diet for the birds in
our care is our single biggest expense, estimated to be nearly $30,000
this year. The clinic birds are here to grow or heal, and it
takes good food to do that; likewise, our resident birds are here for
life, utterly dependent on what we can provide. Good food is a
necessary ingredient for a long and healthy life (and some of these
birds have been with us 20 or more years now!), and it is also
enrichment and used for training. We appreciate whatever help you
can provide!
