What happens to the sanctuary when she passes?
| That's a great question, and they do have a board of directors, and Sybil does have things in place for a transition. But let's face it, without her it will face its big test. She is an ardent spokesperson and fund-raiser for the Oasis.
Regarding the numbers, they also 'knocked my socks off'. That's one reason why I wanted to cut this interview together and put it out there. This is something that will reach huge proportions, I am afraid, and where will all these birds go? |

#6 | | | Re: Sybil Erden talks about The Oasis I understand that the sound is difficult for some people to hear, so I boosted the audio and am trying to upload a new version of it. I am on a learning curve here! Please let me know if you can or cannot hear the audio.
Update: I did boost the audio, and here is the new link: Sybil Erden on the Oasis Sanctuary

#7 | | | Re: Sybil Erden talks about The Oasis Just got an email from a friend who runs a small sanctuary: Quote: |
Very busy here—constant calls for unwanted birds. People just don’t want them. “We love him, but…..” Their minds are made up—the bird must go. These people have no idea—go where? I keep telling them. People have no idea there are very few quality sanctuaries. People have no idea they have to pay to get a bird into them. People have no idea, there are thousands in front of them in the line. I think of these poor birds, and—I’m sad more than anything else. Just—so sad for them. I wish I had the money, and the setup, to do more.
| Because of course, at one point, to run a quality rescue/sanctuary, you have to say 'no'. |

#10 | | | Re: Sybil Erden talks about The Oasis One day man decided to bring a wild animal into his/her home and turn the animal into a PET.
On that day animal abuse began.
Scientist and religious sects both agree on one thing, the animals were here first.
In a world of first come first serve then why are animals treated the way they are?
There's a generous amount of birds being trapped in the wild and sold on the black market, but for the most part, this illegal trade has been slowed down a great deal.
Today, we have the breeder, a person that sees the horrors happening but continue to breed, breed breed, all for the mighty dollar bill.
And the Birds, well they continue to pay the ultimate price.
Sadly its a vicious circle that appears to have no end.
Rescue Facilities continue to fill, Sanctuaries continue to take animals in, animal shelters (killing machines) continue to stay up and running 24/7 and the general public continues to contribute there unwanted pet, or worse yet, they simply set the animal free.
Mankind is destined to destroy everything he/she comes in contact with, why? because he/she can!
One will go insane trying to figure it all out. |
