From A Bird Haven to Beauty Beaks. From Employee to Business Owner.
Two former employees, Summer and Eonah, started their own mobile bird grooming service, plus much more. They have great stories to tell on dealing with bird people and taking the giant step of owning a business.
Come hear their stories and share their successes. (By the way, they kindly attend the NCA meetings and provide this service for a small fee.)

Birds Need Toys! Parrots can be especially hard on their playthings, so come to the Toy-makers Workshop. For every three toys you make, you get to take one home. The rest will be selectively added to our Opportunity Table throughout the coming year.
