A new plan for the September meeting!
It has become neccesary to cancel our September meeting! Instead we are meeting up at the Alamo Exhibiton Bird Club's Fall Mart. Don hooked us up with a club table and we will have items available for the cost of a donation. Stop by and visit us!

The Monthly Molt
SEPTEMBER MEETING DATE CHANGED! Those persons voting were 100% in favor of the 13th, so be at the zoo at 2:00 p.m. that day for our regularly scheduled September meeting.
Here's our agenda for the September 13 meeting:
Call to Order/Welcome Reading of the Previous Minutes Treasurer's Report
Our Next Field Trip
Our Next Charity Donation
Our Next Table at the Next Temple Bird Show
Our Next Year's Officers
Other Business Buy-Sell-Trade-Giveaway
Program-New Bird Owner Manual

Adjourn
NEW WINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!! Please join me in welcoming several new birds into our club flock. Frances has a new baby blue fronted Amazon, Speedy, and Tom is a daddy again. It's a magna double yellow head this time, named Toni, or maybe Tony. Don't ask about his chihuahuas. Did Sherry get a PAIR of eclectus??? Frances also has a beautiful new green budgie that came from ME! You know Carolyn and Gary have more finches for Bob the Grey to watch. Amanda and Tommy will have more new additions to their ever growing and diverse aviary. In about a month, I will get a baby blue and gold I'll finish feeding out. Maybe you can help me with a name. Does anyone else has something new? COFFEE, TEA OR KOOL-AID? We need someone to volunteer to bring refreshments on September 13 and another person to bring libations. Remember we can get ice at the zoo, so that's not a problem.
OUR NEXT FIELD TRIP- I believe the San Antonio show is September 26. Someone suggested we rent a van and go down there like we did last year. Or, do you have other ideas? I was thinking about the Topsey Exotic Animal Ranch about 30 miles west of Gatesville, but that may be too much like the zoo. Bring any ideas you may have to the next meeting.I am sending this newsletter to the Exalted President of the San Antonio Club. Maybe she will verify the date for me and arrange for us to get in for a reduced rate or receive some other concession at their show. I'm waiting........
INDOOR PICNIC RESULTS IN FULL CROPSAt least my crop-and stomach-were full after the second annual indoor picnic at Park's on August 15. Of course, I always eat too much when I go there. We had a good meal and meeting. I noticed a lot of humans handfeeding and utensil-feeding a good bit that day. It was good to have two of our junior members present as well as a smattering of us old hands.
VIOLET BUDGIES NEED REHOMINGI have two male violet budgies, hatched in mid-May that are the last of my this year's birthings. Ask me about the club discount if interested.Other people may have available birds. Let us know via e-mail or a call. ADIOS until September 13, that is! Or sooner perhaps.

Summer Time!
I hope everyone is staying cool! We just returned from vacation and are still unpacking. We are in a flurry of appointments for our Matt, who turned 10 today :) So, unfortunately, we will be out of town for the picnic. I hope everyone has a great time!!
On a side note, I am looking for a female cockatiel as a companion for our adult male. Also, if I forgot to include anyone in the invite to sign up to join here, please let me know. I can easily send out another invite. Enjoy the picnic everyone, and we''ll see you in September!

Rescue donations
A woman I know, Anna, runs a rescue in New Mexico, called Macaw and Cockatoo Rescue of NM. Anna takes all birds from all over the country. A few weeks ago a woman in San Antonio flew three cockatoos to Anna. The owner needs to rehome all her birds. Anna and a crew have driven to San Antonio and today, are taking the owner's remaining 7 birds. I had hoped to go and help breakdown, clean, and pack up everything for the drive back to NM. Since I was unable to go and help, I am sending a package to NM. The rescue, like most needs toys and food. Anna said that tiel sized seed and Zupreem fruitblend pellets are needed, along with toys. If anyone has anything they wouldn't miss, please let me know. I can meet in Temple or even at the zoo to pickup:)
