Our facilities are not designed for keeping a lot of big birds inside. We can accomodate about 20-25 indoors if necessary. Bob and Naomi Martin took it upon themselves to provide a kerosene heater and the heavy duty plastic to enable the pelicans and vulture to stay outdoors on chilly nights. They and donor Martyn Hawkins also purchased a lot of fuel.
It costs roughly $4 per night to keep them warm when the temperature drops below 40. When it is under 30 degrees, they must come inside. The power bills are doubling. The water bills are tripling due to the recent installation of sewer lines. So, the Sea Biscuit needs more donations to cover the added costs. If you can help out with a check, it will be greatly appreciated.
