Aviva Community Fund contest

Well, my friends, my "idea" won't be going to the next round of voting. I have withdrawn from the contest. I was advised that the idea required modification but given no details about what was required, and received no response to my inquiry about that.  I'm both disappointed and relieved. My computer time is short and I'll be able to spend it on other interests. On the other hand I feel that I've failed the many parrots residing at the World Parrot Refuge. 
 
While you've been voting over the past two weeks, you may have noticed the many worthwhile projects looking for supportive votes. Please consider continuing to vote daily for one of them.
 
Thank you  once again for your support. I am truly grateful.

Reminder

Even the blind birds in the Extended Care Unit at the World Parrot Refuge can enjoy toys, toys that make noise or have different textures for example. But someone has to make them; the staff are busy with the day-to-day grind. Volunteers from the community at large could help with toy making. With 900 parrots in residence the need for toys is enormous.


 There's less than one week left in the qualifying round. Please don't forget to vote...every day.
