crossroads is retiring
After much consideration, Alan & Tracey have decided to retire. Since 2010 we have been working on purchasing a permanent home for the rescue and developing plans for a larger and more comprehensive program, but just as that dream became a reality, our life circumstances and health concerns intervened and required us to take a step back. We have struggled with this decision a lot, but know that there are several great rescues in Michigan and that they will continue to serve birds in need.
That said, we have been so devoted to parrots in need for so long, that we are and will ALWAYS be here!! We will continue to be available for help and advice. We can help refer you to good, reputable rescues that can fulfill your needs as well. We will also occasionally have birds available for adoption, as our contract requires that birds are returned to us if any of our adoptive families are unable to keep them.
Our website will remain up and we can still be reached through it, however, if you need immediate assistance, please contact Tracey through her personal email ([email protected]). Tracey also continues to answer parrot related questions on Yahoo! Answers.
We so appreciate all the amazing support and friendship that we’ve been blessed with! The years we’ve spent rescuing and being involved in the avian community have been some of the most rewarding of our lives!! We will miss the constant noise and flying feathers, but at 4 years old, Niko is growing into a one-bird avian adventure all on his own!! We will miss you all and thank you so much for being part of the CBH family! God bless and take care!!

NEED HELP WITH A WILD BIRD???
We get a lot of inquiries about wild birds who have been injured or baby birds that have been found. Unfortunately, we do not work with wild birds and so our best option is to direct inquiries to experts in wildlife rehabilitation. In addition, wild birds are protected by state regulations and it is illegal to care for, house, or transport them unless you are certified through the Department of Natural Resources. Aside from being illegal, caring for a wild bird without proper training often leads to the death of the animal.
We encourage anyone who has found an injured wild bird (or any wild animal) to immediately contact their local DNR office and/or their local animal control agency for assistance. Below is a link for the Michigan Humane Society with some really great information about what to do if you find a wild animal in need of help as well as a link to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
The CBH family applauds those who care enough to take responsibility for an animal in need! Your generous spirit and compassionate hearts make this world a better place!!
