| USA | OH | New Albany | Phyllis | 614-855-2494 churchoftheangels--at--insight.rr.com  | Other Beginning on Thanksgiving Day, which we named Feed the Birds Day many many many years ago, we urge all to put out bird feeders for the winter months, and celebrate the beauty of all birds. If there is no place for a feeder where you live, donations of bird seed to our sanctuary are always welcomed, and we suggest offering up a feeder and keeping it stocked at an area school or retirement center. Students can learn the beauty of birds, the elderly can enjoy watching the birds feed outside their windows. It is important to us that all birds are remembered, and we do this in memory of all the birds who suffer and die to fill plates, and in Honor of our Special chicken, named special! She cannot walk, but her love of life is great, her zest at a piece of apple or ear of fresh corn always is a reminder that all creatures deserve a special place in our hearts, Not on our Plates. So, this Feed the Birds Day, Feed the Birds!   |
