My friends at RedBird Willow Farm in Anniston, AL were recently recognized for their amazing place to take the family.
More importantly, their purpose and passion... Their origin story and the beauty that blooms from it.

Take time to read this well written article about RedBird Willow Farm and plan a trip to enjoy what they have built ❤️

Michele Hornsby started Redbird Willow Farm by accident. She lost her son, Justin, to su***de on March 17, 2017, at the age 26.

It's pretty awesome when...

You stroll into your veterinarian's lobby to find a lovely painted picture of your boy hung proudly on the wall. He may be a staff favorite.

What a nice surprise 😊

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD - if you see these white/ yellow things on a wild animal, it is in trouble and needs immediate help!

These are fly eggs (also know as “fly strike”) and will hatch in less than 24 hours. Once they do, fly larva (aka maggots) will wreak havoc on the poor animal they are attached to.

Many people believe that maggots only eat dead tissue, so they can’t hurt live animals - which isn’t entirely true. These larva cause damage to surrounding healthy tissue as they feast on dead tissue. This damage causes healthy tissue to die and then be eaten.

Flies often lay their eggs on animals they sense to be dying. They each lay about 150 eggs at a time, so it doesn’t take long for freshly hatched larva to cause severe damage to the host.

If you see these on an animal, don’t wait to call someone. They need help IMMEDIATELY. Please call your local wildlife rehabilitator ASAP. They can be combed off gently with a flea comb, if you are not able to reach anyone. Be cautious - even one missed egg can cause the animal a lot of trouble.

Let’s spread the word to prevent as much suffering as possible. Knowledge is power and the more we know the more we can help.

We love visiting with The Arbor Company !! Emerson and Pie had a blast with everyone, loving on all the residents. We start with the able residents, those in memory care, then onto hospice paitents up in their rooms.
Leslie Botko from Trinity Hospice Care of Georgia joined us as one of our llama handlers (which she often does) and always gets excited to be able to offer a little llama therapy to those who need it most ❤️

I’ve had to defend myself several times over the past few weeks with people saying I should let nature takes its course. I have heard many times that we really shouldn’t get involved. I understand not wanting to interfere with Mother Nature. If a coyote tries to eat a rabbit, you won’t see me get involved.

Thing is - most of the animals wildlife rehabbers receive aren’t dealing with issues Mother Nature presented them with. They are dealing with human related issues.

Take this red tailed hawk brought to us by Dracut Animal Control this Sunday for triage. A police officer witnessed him get hit by a car.

We stabilized and sent him to Cape Ann Wildlife, Inc, where he is currently receiving incredible care. Blood tests showed his blood is not clotting well at all so, like most red tailed hawks around here, he’s had exposure to rodenticide poisoning.

An x-ray also revealed a pellet in his wing. It looks to be an old injury.

Let me clarify this story:

We humans poisoned this bird, shot him and then ran him over….

That’s not Mother Nature.

That’s why wildlife rehabbers exist. We have to do something to help them when we make their lives so much harder.

This innocent hawk can’t tell his story, but we will make sure it’s told.

This West Georgia Woman...

Is almost done with shearing season!
🪅🎉
For those not familiar, I'm also a llama and alpaca shearer, perform herd health and train both animals and their people, and hit 5 states. I'm bushed!

👉 On another note, check out the amazing magazine
Out of all the interviews and articles that have been written about us, they have done the most in depth, spot on job. They are huge community supporters and spotlight many women in a variety of industries. Impressive.
