🦃Last November, Riya and Diya were rescued by Humane Long Island from a live animal market in New York City.
At these markets, birds are sold to customers and often slaughtered on-site. Riya and Diya were fortunate to make it out alive, but they still needed a permanent home.
We knew we wanted to welcome them to Luvin Arms. Getting them here, though, turned out to be more complicated than we expected.
Weather, precautions around avian flu, and staffing challenges delayed their journey while we worked with Humane Long Island to arrange safe transportation.
Finally, in July, two members of our team flew to New Jersey, met Riya and Diya, and drove them all the way home to Colorado.
After months of planning, they were finally here.
Riya and Diya are still settling in, and we're learning more about their personalities, preferences, and relationships.
One detail that was easy to notice is that Diya has two different-colored eyes, a condition called heterochromia. Look closely and you'll see that one of her eyes is blue!
For Riya and Diya, life is very different from what it would have been. It's because of supporters like you that we can give them and others the opportunity to live the lives they deserve.
Welcome home, Riya and Diya. ❤️
