For the love of birds

This article http://wsutoday.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=28748&TypeID=1 reminds me of one of my favorite books http://www.wesleytheowl.com/.

If you love birds and would like to devote some time to helping them in Portland go to http://audubonportland.org/about/volunteer

If you would like to learn more about birds of prey the Oregon Zoo has an internship program

The story behind the name

Medvjed means “Bear,” in Croatian.   My Dad was a Croatian American but was raised with a deep appreciation for our Croatian heritage.  My father also had a fondness for bears, which I think was because he was a big man, like a grizzly bear.

I love all animals and if I could I would spend my life devoted to saving animals and working for their rights.  I feel like my love of animals is genetic.  My great uncle was a veterinarian, and my family has always had lots of pets.  Pets are part of the family and also therapeutic.

I would like to make people more aware of ways we can contribute to animal rights, locally and globally. I feel like all people are capable of compassion towards animals if they understood the way they have been used and treated throughout centuries.

Volim te tata. Počivao u miru
