ON A drizzly, grey Friday ‘Parrots for Purpose’ brought bursts of vibrant joy and colour to our Friday Friendship Group – a social support group run weekly for clients.
Stunning conures, macaws and other parrots visited TMCCA; they radiated warmth and cuteness galore as we marveled at the brilliance of their colours, human-like playfulness, affectionate nature and their vocalisations sans doute.
We are deeply grateful to Wendy, Michael and Sophie for braving the wet weather that morning and bringing eight beautiful birds up the hill to share all the great work you all do hand-raising these beautiful creatures to bring joy and purpose into the lives of those who need them across the country.
We experienced the birds’ therapeutic talents firsthand, particularly during the feeding session led by Wendy and the photgography session with each client assisted by Sophie.
Michael’s testimony and idea (see details on parrotsforpurpose.com.au) that emerged from his own life experience, is now supporting those affected by depression, anxiety and PTSD.
Keep up the outstanding work and wish you all the best with your future fundraising efforts!
Thank you also to Robyn for your meticulous fundraising efforts and the faboulous Franquette breads and flowers sent across to TMCCA so often.
Following a delightful morning with the birds, the Friday Friendship group enjoyed an afternoon of lively singing and a leisurely game of Chinese Checkers.
We also indulged in cakes, donuts and pies – thank you to regular donations from both bakeries on the hill.
