My name is Kylie and I work as a bird trainer in Mississippi. I work with 8 parrots over 6 different species. In my time working with these parrots, I have grown to love them more than I ever thought possible. They are my life and I would do anything for them. This run is supporting a parrot sanctuary that unfortunately suffered a serious fire recently. They lost over 100 rescued parrots. I can’t even think about how my life would be if I lost my parrots, so it’s very important to me that we help them rebuild to their former glory. Foster Parrots Ltd. and the New England Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary still has so many animals to care for. Please join me in supporting the sanctuary! I will be running this 5K and raising money to go directly to the sanctuary. Thank you!
