    Thank you so much Elaine! We love having Greta here volunteering with us. She is doing such a great job and seems to be really enjoying herself. It's so important to have positive people in such a remote environment and Greta is a real asset to the team. Thanks again.

    My son and a friend raised 100euros at his school in The Netherlands to back this project. We were in the park in the summer and his highlight was the macaws and the clay lick. So he really wanted to support this cause as its in a place he knows and he feels proud to be helping.

    Wow this really touched all of our hearts Charlotte. Please, thank your son, his friend and their school for their efforts to raise this money. We would love to say thank you by naming the next foster chick in honour of them. Hopefully you and your family come back to TRC one day to see the chicks around the research center.

    Great work on last year's project! Can't wait to hear more positive outcomes this year! Wish I could help hands on, but since that's not possible, here is a start to next year's funding! Thank you for helping the wild macaws and teaching other researchers new methods to preserve future generations!
