💙💛 A LONG JOURNEY, A NEW BEGINNING, AND A FOREVER HOME! 🦜

Tonight, after a full day of work, we’ll be hitting the road to meet Guardians of Rescue and welcome a very special new resident to Mountain View Wildlife Rehabilitation & Sanctuary!

A beautiful Blue and Gold Macaw! 💙💛

While our sanctuary may be expanding its mission to help more exotic animals in need, we are certainly no strangers to birds. Over the years, a variety of bird species have called this place home, living out their lives surrounded by love, compassion, and the security of knowing they were safe.

And now, another chapter is about to begin.

This beautiful boy has traveled an incredibly long way, all the way from Mississippi, and his journey will finally bring him here, to the place he will call home for the rest of his life.

I often think about how extraordinary it is that an animal can begin its life hundreds of miles away, completely unaware that somewhere out there, a person and a place are waiting to welcome it with open arms.

He doesn’t know us yet. He doesn’t know the sound of our voices, the routines of our days, or the home we’ve been preparing for him.

But soon, he will. ❤️

And while he may never understand just how many miles were traveled or how many people worked together to bring him here, I hope that in time, he will understand one very important thing.

His journey is over. He is home. And he is loved.

We are incredibly grateful to Guardians of Rescue and everyone involved in making this new beginning possible.

Stay close, everyone! We’ll be sharing parts of our journey this evening as we travel to bring our newest family member home.

Mississippi to Kentucky. A long road to a forever home. 🦜💙💛

🪶 Sometimes, the universe speaks without ever making a sound.

Today, I experienced something that touched my soul in a way I can’t quite put into words.

A beautiful hawk flew low, directly in front of me, gliding along for several seconds before landing nearby. And then, it turned and looked directly at me.

Not just a passing glance. For a brief moment, it felt as though we were looking into one another’s souls.

I felt peace. I felt a connection. But more than anything, I felt acknowledged.

I’ve spent so much of my life caring for animals, protecting the vulnerable, fighting for lives that might otherwise be forgotten. And somewhere along the way, between the exhaustion, the heartbreak, the responsibilities, and the constant demands, it’s easy to lose sight of my own journey.

But today, for just a few seconds, the world seemed to stand still.

I wasn’t rescuing anything. I wasn’t fighting to save a life. I wasn’t being asked to give another piece of myself.

I was simply standing there, being reminded that I, too, am part of this beautiful, extraordinary world.

Hawks have long symbolized strength, clarity, spiritual awakening, and the courage to trust the path ahead.

I don’t know why this particular hawk crossed my path today. Maybe it was simply nature offering me one of her beautiful gifts. Or maybe, in a season of so much change and personal growth, it was exactly the encounter my spirit needed.

But I know what I felt.

And as that magnificent creature looked at me, I couldn’t help but feel that perhaps, just perhaps, the very wilderness I’ve devoted my life to protecting was taking a moment to acknowledge me in return.

Sometimes the most profound moments in life aren’t the ones we go searching for. They’re the ones that find us when our souls need them most. ❤️🪶

“I have been wrongfully imprisoned, my blanket is my emotional support item, and I would like to speak to management IMMEDIATELY.” 😤😂

“The accommodations are questionable, the room service is inconsistent, and frankly, the staff seems entirely too comfortable telling me what to do.

I have filed multiple complaints, all of which have been ignored. I demand compensation in the form of snacks, fresh vegetables, and uninterrupted nap time.

Until these demands are met, I will remain right here, clutching my blankie, looking absolutely pitiful, and making management feel guilty.”

🦫 Sincerely,
One extremely dramatic, mildly inconvenienced groundhog who would like everyone to know that this establishment has ZERO stars on Yelp. ⭐😂

🦜💙💛 Another precious life. Another journey. Another new beginning.

Join us Friday afternoon as we hit the road to pick up our newest rescue — a beautiful Blue and Gold Macaw! 🦜

This little one is about to begin a brand-new chapter, and we want you to be part of the journey!

We’ll be sharing updates along the way as we bring this precious baby home to Mountain View Wildlife Rehabilitation.

Our mission is growing, our family is growing, and the adventures are just beginning. ❤️

Stay tuned… because this is only the beginning of what’s coming! 🦜✨

Getting to see Jane tonight reminded me why I do this. Seeing her thriving, then watching her seemingly “check in on me,” feels almost spiritual—like a quiet moment between us that words can’t quite explain.

I wonder if she knows how much I need those visits, too. How simply seeing her can ease a tired heart and remind me that all the love, worry, and hard days have a purpose.

I gave her a chance, and somehow, she keeps giving me a reason to keep going. 🤍
