Louisiana Bird Rescue moving up to Hammond
The new Louisiana bird rescue center is coming along nicely. It’s located in a town Hammond which is located about 60 miles north of New Orleans above Lake Pontchartrain. The new site is out of the hurricane ‘evacuation zone’.
Since the beginning of the BP Gulf oil spill in April, the main animal rehabilitation center has been located in Buras, LA. It is only several feet above sea level.
Initially, the Hammond Bird Rehabilitation Facility will be capable of handling approximately 1,000 birds, and capacity could be increased to house as many as 2,000 to 3,000 birds.
It’s situated on the grounds of what was once a very large lumber yard with multiple empty warehouses and plenty of room for large outdoor enclosures. We will be posting pictures soon.

We are all looking forward to the move, which may be as soon as this weekend. While we are busily organizing and planning for the big move we are still receiving small numbers of oiled birds daily.
With this in mind, oiled animals that continue to come in through Venice and Port Sulphur will receive first aid at a stabilization site nearby before being transferred to us in Hammond. Since we do not wash oiled birds right away this will not delay their treatment.
Over the weekend a small water spout developed nearby. It reminded us of how the weather here, especially this time of year, can change so rapidly. While we will miss living where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico, in the end, the move will make it safer for the birds and the people that care for them.

We must protect our ecological future by stopping offshore drilling globally. One blowout is one too many. Our oceans feed the world. This BP oil spill is an environmental holocaust. The best way to stop any future oil spill problems is to stop offshore drilling around the world, period! Vote politicians that continue to promote offshore drilling out of office in Nov.!
The health of the people living in and around the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and oil spill dispersant should be of a concern. The oil dispersant COREXIT® 9500; and the Table of Chemical Constituents Commonly Found in Crude Oil can be reviewed at: http://www.gulfoilspill.20megsfree.com/
Anyone that senses any symptoms that are listed should see a doctor right away.
