Jasper: Parrot of the Month

A handsome and personable cockatoo looking for his forever home.

Posted by Wilton Parrot Rescue,

Flag as Inappropriate  

Jasper is an Umbrella Cockatoo.

He is approximately 6 years old and can be quite comical! He greets you, bounces up and down and begs to get your attention. He is a typical Umbrella and is looking for a new home as his owner could no longer provide him with the attention he craves.

Umbrella Cockatoos live for 60+ years.
Previous bird experience preferred.

To meet Jasper, email wiltonparrot@yahoo.com and request an adoption application.

Maybe she will also learn how the Bill of Rights is supposed to work, and how one amendment strengthens another.

But that tradition died when 6-year-old Jesse was shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. This Father’s Day, Heslin, who has been active with other Sandy Hook parents in pushing for gun control legislation, is giving his support to the No Father’s Day campaign. Speaking at a media teleconference to launch the campaign, Heslin said, “Jesse was my only child, my only immediate family. I don’t have a father to share Father’s Day with.” Initiated by PICO National Network’s Lifelines to Healing Campaign, the campaign asks participants to send e-cards to Congress, urging passage of legislation to create universal background checks and end gun trafficking.

From linked article_______ "The victims “have a financial uncertainty, they need the…Read More money,” Feinberg said. “You have to say, ‘Here’s the money, here’s what we’re doing with it.’” Some Newtown families say that didn't happen in their town. Lafferty-Hassinger posted to Facebook her frustration about the United Way requiring "proof of hardship" to determine how to distribute funds: "We shouldn't have to fight for what is rightfully ours, but we won't be taken advantage of in our darkest hour," she wrote. "We've all been walking a fine line between not wanting to profit from the death of our loved ones and not wanting someone else to profit from our source of grief. We went down when we were kicked, but we are Sandy Hook. It's time to stand back up."___________ I reckon my questions are thusly: What financial uncertainty is there in the death of a child, AND since when did money that is donated privately become something that is 'rightfully' belonging to someone else due to a tragedy that is not a natural event like a tornado or hurricane?
