Your work to raise awareness about H5N1 reflects deep dedication, and I appreciate the initiative and care you have put into it.

I am grateful that you are choosing to support Audubon through your efforts.

It means a great deal to have someone with your passion and creativity working on behalf of birds and the places they need.  ​

I loved reading through the survey questions.

I think that they will collect a lot of valuable data for you and your partners at Cornell,

as well as provide other members of the Hub with great insight into the strategies and practices used to combat H5N1.

Wow! What a great job. I am so impressed with the work you did to help spread the word on this very serious issue…

meeting and getting to know a young person like you gives me a lot of hope for the world’s future!

I look forward to seeing where you go and what you do. Simply Amazing!

I have been looking to connect to network and learn about the issues surrounding H5N1 as the last several Zoom calls I attended,

I always tried to learn about best practices for on-site protocols to ensure we are doing everything we can to prevent the spread.

The only thing I was being told was to talk to my vet. That left it up to us to figure out what to do.

At that time we were doing shoe baths for entry into the sanctuary, which was more than our vet was doing.

Please, forward what we need to get started!
