We work to make sure that our feathered friends in the wild have safe places to live and raise their young. Now, we can also help pet birds who have lost their homes. I am asking you to help a bird rescue improve their ability to help more birds. There is no money involved to vote; all it takes is a computer click or text to add your vote.

Here is some background and the information on how you can personally help.

Our avian vet, Dr. Julie Burge, has a bird rescue that is terribly underfunded. It mainly runs on love, a donation jar at the counter, and money from bird related items that she sells on E-Bay. We save our feathers for her. She packages them and sells them to hobbyists on E-Bay. Right now, she is involved in a Pepsi challenge to win $25,000 to expand the Burge Bird Rescue.

This woman is a wonderful doctor. In addition to traditional office calls, she provides emergency services, and in-home services. During disasters, she is called on to leave her practice in the capable hands of her bird nurse, and go to help. She helped in the Katrina disaster and most recently after the tornado in Joplin, Mo. Her passion is her bird rescue.

We adopted one of our beloved birds through her bird rescue. Bella Pickles was a little biter lovebird that nobody wanted. Dr. Julie gave her a chance. She rescues birds that people give up, through death, adverse economic situations, or that they no longer want. Dr. Julie finds them �forever homes.� Birds are given medical care and kept until they have homes.

I would love to help her Burge Bird Rescue win this money. I'm voting every day, but I think that I can do more! I can ask you to help.

If you want to help improve facilities for this deserving bird rescue, please use this link to vote in this Pepsi challenge. You may vote once a day. There is no money involved in voting. Pepsi rules state that only votes from inside the United States will be counted.

Help Burge Bird Rescue-Give us a Vote-Click Here!

You may also text a vote in. This gives you an extra vote. Send the text to PEPSI (73774) This is the text message-107464.

Thanks for your time; I'll let you know how it comes out!

Connie

Jane, they are still at number 6! WoooHooo! Did you see my little cutie on the Burge Bird Rescue site? She's under Recently Adopted.
Bella Pickles, our little watermelon pickle green lovebird, is the first on the page. Doesn't she look cute on her rope perch?

Connie, they must have changed the photos on the website. There is an absolute cutie, but looks like it's sitting on something else. Is that your "Pickles?"

Pickles is green and red, sitting on a rope perch by her yellow mirror. She is a bit of tiny magic! You have to scroll down to the Recently Adopted to see her. She almost looks like she's smiling.

Found Pickles! Clicked on "Birds Available" and scrolled down to "Recently Adopted." What a cutie! Did you notice her image in the mirror? It's like she's winking too.

Already voted and noticed the Bird Rescue has slipped down to #8. We sure could use some more votes today! It's super simple and only takes a quick moment of your time.

Birds are loved and revered by our People. Feathers were traded extensively and it's not uncommon to see fans made with colorful tropical feathers at gatherings across North America. It's important to realize birds are not killed solely for their feathers. My most treasured ones were shed naturally and gifted to me.

Thanks Jane! Pickles, our little pixie girl, lived for a long time without hope. Then, she was given to Dr. Julie. She stayed at the rescue for months, since Bella Pickles bites--hard.

We took her because our son's bird needed a companion. The girls have bonded! They fly and cut paper strips for nesting. Bella Pickles became an instant member of our Biter Brigade-girl lovebirds who can make a person bleed! But we love them!

Please vote, so that birds who need a home can find one that lasts forever!

Thank you!
Connie

The Burge Bird Rescue needs YOUR help! At this time they are ranked number 9 in their tier in the Pepsi Challenge. This doesn't sound so bad, since the top 15 grant applicants are funded. However, this does not take in the huge influx of last minute votes from challengers.

Burge Bird Rescue does good work by finding homes for homeless companion birds. If you want to see birds who have found new homes through Burge Bird Service, go to this link and scroll down to the Recently Adopted. The first bird, a green lovebird sitting on the rope perch, is our sweet Bella Pickles! We adopted her this year.

There was some information on the website about extra votes on Pepsi products. I'll be traveling this weekend and enjoying some Diet Pepsi with wild cherry. That's mandatory for a long drive smile So I'll be checking the bottles for some extra votes.

Super! I will do that, too.

The Burge Bird Rescue needs YOUR help! At this time they are ranked number 9 in their tier in the Pepsi Challenge. This doesn't sound so bad, since the top 15 grant applicants are funded. However, this does not take in the huge influx of last minute votes from challengers.

Burge Bird Rescue does good work by finding homes for homeless companion birds. Look at Mr. and Mrs. Smith when you click on the link. They spent years being breeder birds. Then, a beak injury took them out of the business. Where does a working bird that can no longer work go to? If they are lucky, they find their way to Burge Bird Rescue.

f you want to see birds who have found new homes through Burge Bird Service, go to this link and scroll down to the Recently Adopted. The first bird, a green lovebird sitting on the rope perch, is our sweet Bella Pickles! We adopted her this year.

I liked on facebook and voted.

I feel as much beauty that they give to this world we should try, at the very least, to give back in habitat or whatever it is that they really need to keep that beauty, very much a part of everything there is when we need that little bit of inspiration wink

Look for specially marked Pepsi products with the words "POWER VOTE." There is a special code on each and you can use these for up to 10 votes per day. To use the codes for extra votes you do have to register on the website and log-in. You can't use the codes if you log-in through Facebook.

Setting up an account is super simple and I didn't realize I had already registered.

Just voted and we're up to EIGHT! I've got a few Pepsi caps with Power Vote Codes to put in when I get back home. Had to settle for Diet Pepsi (no wild cherry) to get the caps, but that's no bid deal.

Jane, I had to see for myself! WOOOOOHOOOOOO! Earlier today, we were still at 9. I would love to get back to 6 or 7. It would just feel a bit more secure.
