Paula N Ashfield is the Founder and
Director of Under My Wing Avian Refuge. In 2005 Paula and her husband
Scott, Co-founder and Vice President began devoting their life’s to
rescue and shelter Exotic Birds. Continuing through many levels of
growth, Under My Wing has established the 1st Nonprofit Exotic Bird
Sanctuary in Sussex County, New Jersey. Together they have bird's best
interest at heart.
Under
my Wing has established trustworthy relations and are highly
recommended by businesses and individuals as “A vacation place for
birds”.
Over
the last few years numerous Exotic Birds who were previously kept in
dark garages, closets and basements due to their loud screaming or
biting were entrusted to be cared for by the Ashfield's. Without
hesitation the Ashfield's moved to a larger place so they would have
more room for the newcomers as they quickly had an addition of 65 birds
by the end of 2007. Although some have been adopted and others are
adoptable at present, Under My Wing Avian Refuge is filled with over
100 birds that are physically challenged or have severe issues are to
remain at the sanctuary permanently.
Under My Wing is currently seeking a permanent building for the birds.
Like
the birds, the Ashfield’s have experienced a great deal of change and
growing pains. Assuming that is the one thing they have in common which
allows them to do what they do. They can relate! Through a great deal
of effort and research they have learned all about different birds and
first aid techniques to assist birds in many different reasons,
behavioral modifications, proper diets and the importance of sound
Veterinary care.
Under
My Wing Avian Refuge priority and focus is the bird's well being.
However, Under My Wing Avian Refuge is unique because they believe and
suggest that communication with a grieving bird owner can help both
their healing process no matter the reason of separation. They offer
extensional services to the birds as well as the birds owners instead
of just taking in a bird.
Under
My Wing Avian Refuge has formed relationships, has educated
and
counseled with
understanding and compassion to private and public schools
and individuals who care to have knowledge how to truly care
for
parrots. Their programs and
community service allows other bird shelters, parrots and bird owners
all across United States to benefit from their mission.
Paula and Scott
love all animals and cares for their well being and unlike other
rescues and shelters who expend their care giving toward many different
types of animals in one location they believe that birds should not be
homed with other animals in a sanctuary setting but given total and
complete care to the one type will benefit the birds in shelters.
Under
My Wing Avian Refuge has many adoptable birds and is seeking only the
best for the birds that have been entrusted to their care. Therefore,
making decisions in the placement of birds to a new home is a careful,
well monitored and time consuming step which will benefit the long term
life and care of these adopted birds.
As
you will continue browsing our pages, you will discover just how
intense the love, care and attention to the birds need is and in every
detail about this sanctuary because the importance of its existence is
paramount to the parrot's life’s and well being.
