ABC PETS

This list was started by Jamie Whittaker to help her bird customers to get help on line if she was not avaialable.  Her store, ABC Pets is located in Humble, near the Houston Airport.  A lot of us are ABC Pets Junkies But the list has grown into more than what Jamie ever imagined it to be!   There are several who are out of state....BARB is from Indiana, Debra is from Kansas, Rebecca in Michigan just to name a few. And then there are those who are outside the Humble area....as you know Houston is a big place! List members have come and gone over the years...we have had members from as far away as Austrailia and England.

Our list has grown into a soon to be non-profit organization helping birds when we see fit.  We support local NPRPF, and make donations and contributions when we can.  We are affilliated with the American Federation of Aviculture and a group of us have attended the conventions in San Francisco, Miami, and Dallas. Because we are a participatory group of folks we have helped with raffles, decorations, silent auctions, speaker introductions and just generally lend a hand wherever we can. We have fundraisers, and activities to help our birds and take every opportunity to further our knowledge and share it with other bird people.

It may seem to you that all our activites are geared towards gathering in Humble and for the most part I suppose they are because that is where the most active people from the list live.  We get together for toy making days at whom ever wishes to host one. Throw a party and we'll be there! 

We have had annual gatherings at Chain O Lakes Camping Resort in Romayor TX near Cleveland for the past 3 years...Someday, we are hoping to plan  a trip to Belize www.bananabank.com. Debra came down from Kansas to join us at Chain O Lakes one year and maybe some of the other out of towners will make it to Belize or an AFA convention.

I hope you will be able to join us some time!  We would love to meet you and add you to our flock of friends.
