	Mike & Krissy Hi! We are NIU students who want to help make the world a better place for humans and animals. We stumbled across Ollie's Parrots Perch while searching for animal shelters near the DeKalb area to volunteer at. Before then, we never imagined we'd be working with exotic birds, but we gave it a try in late October of 2008 and have been happy working with Sandi ever since.
