justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-4 bg-light" style="padding: 30px;margin: 20px;"> <h5>Twannette</h5> <p>â\x80\x9cI rescued my African Grey parrot (Stoffel) from unscrupulous smugglers from the Congo, and due to the horrible conditions he had to endure, I had to rush him to our nearest veterinarian. He was diagnosed with Pneumonia and malnourishment, they wanted to euthanize him, however I decided against it because how can I rescue him and then euthanize? I contacted LWP and you assisted me with such compassion and love for my African Grey and not just that you calmed me in a very stressed situation. To make a long story short - I followed your advice, took him to an avian veterinarian where he received numerous sessions of antibiotics, steam therapy and Cannula (intravenous fluids). Needless to say, with the therapy and your advice to supplement his diet with fruit, vegetables and healthy seeds (NO PEANUTS & NO SUNFLOWER SEEDS) my African Grey is a healthy, happy and content bird. </p> <p>I could not resist taking Stoffel to the veterinarian who wanted to euthanize him and the vet was amazed at the recovery he made.</p> <p>Thank you so much for all your assistance and advice.â\x80\x9d</p> </div> <div class="col-md-4 bg-light" style="padding: 30px;margin: 20px;"> <h5>Charie</h5> <p>â\x80\x9cI was totally uneducated about how complicated it is to care for a parrot properly, like your general public I was under the impression a parrot sits in a cage and eat whatever the pet shop recommends, LWP has opened a whole new world for me. </p> <p>Whenever I doubt what is safe to feed my parrot, LWP is just a FB message away, I have learnt and are still learning so much from this group. </p> <p>I have been privileged to receive 2 parrots from their adoption programme with zero fees payable, the parrots were first taken for a medical check-up before they were made available for me to adopt. Paid by the emergency fund of the group. </p> <p>I am one of the benefactors of the emergency fund and can confirm undoubtedly that the funds are strictly used to assist birds in dire need of medical treatment, I myself have requested assistance for treatment of one of my parrots when I could not afford to pay for my parrotâ\x80\x99s medical treatment, as a parrot owner they saved my "Childâ\x80\x99s" life......This page is changing parrot lives daily, â\x80\x9c</p> </div> <div class="col-md-4 bg-light" style="padding: 30px;margin: 20px;"> <h5>Hanlie</h5> <p>When I originally started to follow this group, I had an African Grey. His diet consisted out of the usual pet shop food as well as food from my table.</p> <p>By following all the chats and information that was discussed and shared on this page I came to know that I was feeding my parrot unhealthy food. He died.</p> <p>In my opinion is that this groupâ\x80\x99s very first priority is the wellbeing of our beloved parrots. We laughed and cried together on that group.... we exchanged information and tips. Really, according to me, itâ\x80\x99s simply the best parrot group I could ever find.</p> <p>I bought myself a new parrot now... with all the information I only got from this group, I wish to show you how my parrots tailfeathers improved.â\x80\x9d</p> </div> <div class="col-md-4 bg-light" style="padding: 30px;margin: 20px;"> <h5>Riedewaan</h5> <p>â\x80\x9cAs dit nie was vir LWP, Ilse Meyer en dr Coetzee nie, was my African Grey, Coco, seker nie met ons vandag nie. Ilse het my gehelp deur vir Coco 'n afspraak by die avian vet te kry op onkoste van LWP, want ek het nie 'n sent gehad nie (my werk a.g.v. lockdown verloor), sy het ook vir my stap-vir-stap gehelp deur LWP se fb blad, oor hoe om vir Coco vloeistof in te gee en te voer, al was sy bekkie gebreek. Dit het hom aan die lewe gehou tot hy dokter kon sien volgende dag. Na als wat uit liefde en omgee gedoen was om vir Coco se rekening te betaal ens, was daar ook deur LWP gereël vir vervoer vir my en Coco vanaf Mitchells Plain na Klapmuts. Vandag, 3 weke later, is my gaai 100% gesond en gelukkig. Sonder LWP was ek heel waarskynlik vandag sonder my Coco. Baie, baie dankie aan Ilse Meyer, Marissa Chozen, Byron, dr. Coetzee en LWP.â\x80\x9d </p> </div> <div class="col-md-4 bg-light" style="padding: 30px;margin: 20px;"> <h5>Marina</h5> <p>â\x80\x9cLWP is the best group on parrot advice. You can ask anything: If you are unsure or if you have a problem or if you even just want to show off your parrot. You get support from Ilse and her team almost immediately. Because of LWP I had physical proof to show other parrot owners the damage they are doing to their birds, and I also managed to change their minds to change the sunflower seed diets to either Natures Nest or Rani Herbs and seeds. </p> <p>I would like to personally thank Ilse and her team for all the hard work they are doing and also for teaching me how to give my parrot the best life possible for as long as possible.â\x80\x9d </p> </div> <div class="col-md-4 bg-light" style="padding: 30px;margin: 20px;"> <h5>Yana</h5> <p>â\x80\x9cDue to your assistance my avian friends have made a great recovery and I am proud to say they no longer just eat seed. Since joining your Facebook group I am enlightened and now know that my birds cannot just consume sunflower seeds but require an additional diet of fruits, vegetables and nuts. </p> <p>I would like to sincerely thank you for all your help and assistance the past two years.â\x80\x9d</p> </div> </div> </div></section><section class="ftco-section bg-light"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row justify-content-center pb-5 mb-3"> <div class="col-md-7 heading-section text-center ftco-animate"> <span class="subheading">FAQ</span> <h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <button class="english language-active" style="display: inline-block;">English</button> <button class="afrikaan" style="display: inline-block;">Afrikaans</button> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid" id="english-faqs"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6 ftco-animate"> <button class="accordion">What is first aid for birds?</button> <div class="panel"> <p style="padding-top: 20px;">First aid is the initial treatment given to an injured or ill bird during an emergency.
