Save the
Gouldian Fund
 There
are currently only 2500 Lady Gouldian Finches in
their natural habitat in the Northern Territory
of Australia and are an endangered species.
There are many individuals who are working
towards restoring the Gouldian Finch in the
wild. The organization Save the Gouldian Fund’s
mission is to provide funding for researchers
working on the problem of the decline of the
wild population of Gouldian Finches.
They
give aviculturists and the general public alike
an opportunity to contribute to the salvation of
an Australian ornithological icon. They address
the negative media image of bird keeping and to
present aviculture in a positive light.
They
interpret new scientific data and use this to
enhance the practice of aviculture. They
provide world-wide up to date information
through newsletters and publications.
You can
give directly to “STGF” or indirectly through the
purchase of Gouldian Products by various
supporters. Bill VanPatten from
www.fabulousfinch.com donates a portion of
the sales of his Bird Care Products to STGF.
Alison Green
has created a stunning Gouldian T-Shirt that can
be purchased Down Under or Overseas
http://www.savethegouldian.org/news/tshirts.htm. Eight
dollars from each sale is donated to STGF. Mike
Fidler author of “The Gouldian Finch” also
co-authored by Stewart Evans, is also an avid
photographer and has captured the Gouldian Finch
in nature and his photographs can be purchased
with a portion of the sales going to STGF.

Currently, The Gouldian Lady donates 7% of bird
sales to STGF to support the research efforts of
this organization.
In
closing, I am well aware of all the different
organizations pleading for your dollars, I ask
that you prayerfully consider supporting this
cause. |
