Did you know???

Did you know...that Kaytee has a non-profit foundation?  We do!  The Kaytee Avian Foundation, it helps fund projects related to avian conservation, education, and research.  We've help funded programs locally and globally... anywhere from Universities like LSU, helping them provide for their flock to purchasing 18,000 acres of land in Piaui, Brazil.  Helping to seize 18,000 acres of land in Brazil was our largest initiative to date! Learn more about the KAF and all the great things we've done within the world of birds.

We've hosted many Eco-Tours to Piaui, where we donated the monies to help purchase the land and I was fortunate enough to be the hostess for two of them.  Best, most memorable times of my life!  Sitting in the blind and watching these beautiful birds in their natural habitat was a "goose bump, life changing" experience. The land is now being preserved helping save the animals which call it home from extinction.  Former poachers are now Eco-Tour guides.  I spoke with one of the men that used to be a poacher and he told me with tearful eyes "that now he's right with God", that was so powerful to hear him tell me that he now provides for his family in a honest way. Warms the heart!

If you ever have the opportunity to do something like this...do it, you won't regret it.  If you've been on a trip to view birds or any animals in their natural habitat, please share. I love hearing about about those "ah-ha" moments!
