The fate of humans and animals is very close. And if we can help an animal in need, we very often help people too. This was also the case for an animal lover who was overwhelmed with the care of her animals. Fate was not kind to her and she lost track of the population in her apartment. A social worker from a Viennese authority asked us for help. On that July day in 2017, 323 budgerigars and cockatiels became Aiderbichlers!
