Our Families
Board of Directors
Tim, Executive Director and Founder, has been taking care of birds for over 30 years now. Throughout the years, Tim has cared for over 500 birds from finches to macaws. Although he did not technically operate a rescue, he quickly became known in local circles as the "Birdman " and consequently has rescued many birds and found them loving homes. Now with HealthiPet Network, Tim plans on applying his expertise with birds to help run the overflow rescue.
Robert, Director, has been involved with birds and bird care for the past 8 years. He has knowledge and experience with all types of birds ranging from budgies to macaws. His hands-on philosophy will be a great addition to the Network.
Chuck, Director, here with Sinbad, a Blue & Gold Macaw, has several birds of his own at home, including two female Blue & Gold Macaws. Chuck has been involved with birds for quite a while now, and his willingness and ability to learn and maintain has amazed us all. He is an excellent bird handler and has no fear. He has probably been bitten more than the rest of us put together. LOL
Lindsay, Director, Here with Tweety her companion Lovebird. Lindsay is a self-motivated woman with the willingness to learn, as well as, share her vast array of knowledge. She has been an animal lover all her life. Birds and cats are her favorites. She brings fresh innovative ideas to our organization.
