RAFFLE!!!
ONLY A FEW MORE WEEKS
Authentic Feathers Molted by Alex
Dr. Irene Pepperberg’s work with Alex over the span of 30 years is legendary. Known as one of the most famous African Grey parrots in history, Alex pioneered new avenues in avian intelligence. He possessed more than 100 vocal labels for different objects, actions and colors, and could identify certain objects by their particular material. He could count object sets up to the total number six and was working on seven and eight. Alex exhibited math skills that were considered advanced in animal intelligence, developing his own “zero-like” concept in addition to being able to infer the connection between written numerals, object sets, and the vocalization of the number. Alex was learning to read the sounds of various letters and had a concept of phonemes, the sounds that make up words.
Alex’s personality was very evident in his everyday life. He was “in charge” of his home and relished ordering “his” humans to perform various tasks for him. He also acted as a coach and cheerleader to his fellow birds, alternately encouraging or admonishing them during their lessons.
Alex’s passing in September 2007 was a huge loss to all of us that know our birds are smarter than the world gives them credit for, and leaves a void in the entire bird community.
These earrings and others like them, made by Lara Gordon from authentic feathers molted by Alex during his lifetime, were sold by the Alex Foundation. Although they are not one-of-a-kind, the winner of our raffle will have a priceless piece of history from a bird who was a pioneer in the avian community.
Raffle tickets are $10 each, or six for $50.
The raffle drawing will take place on February 1, 2012.

WELCOME TO THE OASIS SANCTUARY WEBSITE
The Oasis relies on you for support, so why not donate now?
The Oasis Sanctuary is a life-care facility for captive Exotic birds. In particular we are a refuge for parrots, cockatoos, macaws and other Psittacine birds (predominantly CITES I and II endangered birds), although we do accept Passerines (finches and canaries), Columbiformes (doves and "fancy" or racing pigeons), and other captive avian species. In some instances it is not appropriate — or desirable — to place a bird into a private home through adoption. In these cases, sanctuary placement insures a permanent, stable, long term home. We offer birds a stable and loving home for the duration of their natural lives.They are given every opportunity to behave naturally in a wonderfully loving environment. At our sanctuary we always put the animal’s best interests before our own and always remember they are the reason why we are here.
As a true sanctuary, we do not offer birds for adoption, however we work with and refer birds requiring re-homing to bona fide adoption programs around the country.
As a true sanctuary, we do not offer birds for adoption, however we work with and refer birds requiring re-homing to bona fide adoption programs around the country.
Many of The Oasis birds come from other rehabilitation and/or adoption programs where qualified personnel have determined that it is not in the bird's best interests to be placed in private homes. Some of our birds have "special needs", are physically handicapped or challenged requiring unique living or feeding situations. Others have been bounced from home to home, often being physically and/or emotionally abused and have simply become too fearful of people to be companions to people any longer.
Building and operating a sanctuary is not easy and is definitely not cheap. However to give the animals the very best environment possible, we are committed to doing whatever it takes to accomplish this goal.
The Oasis Sanctuary is proud to be the first exotic bird sanctuary to have received dual accreditation from the American Sanctuary Association (ASA) and the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS).
The Oasis Sanctuary was incorporated in the State of Arizona on May 22, 1997. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Our Federal EIN number is 86-0885646. We are also registered with the Secretary of State in Arizona as a recognized charity.
