I just got a phone call from Evan Axelrod at Channel 8, He wants to do our story, he is pitching it to his team today. I will keep everyone updated. Keep all your feathers crossed that this pans out for us.

Just a bit of an update. I have emailed all the major news branches of CBS, NBC, and ABC with the editorial. I recieved the normal "we got your email" thus far from all of them. For ABC I have to send out an actual hard copy of the story through the mail so I will be doing that today for all of them. Here are the addresses if anyone else wants to send in the stories they wrote for Oprah or any story.

Thank you for your request to ABC News.

To submit a story idea to one of the ABC News shows listed below, write a single page letter including your name, phone number, and address. Include photocopies of backup information. On the outside of the envelope, write "Story Idea." If a producer is interested in your story, he/she will contact you. Here are the show addresses:

20/20
147 Columbus Avenue
New York, NY 10023

Primetime
147 Columbus Avenue

I'm going to be sending something to your paypal account in the next few minutes. I so wish it could be more  :'( I also wish I lived near you right now, I'd go door to door with flyers and beg for donations!

I just mailed the letters to ABC. I know they won't get there in time for the $700 you need, but hopefully they will take notice and run a story on SCBR ASAP.

Hang in there, help is on it's way for there is always hope.

Thanks for the address there Sophie I will rewrite///edit the Oprah letter and mail them out I am also going to print a couple of the picture of the birds off the web site, nothing grabs attention like a nice color photo.

And if I lived close I would be standing outside the grocery store in one of those parrot costumes with a poster sign and a big bucket for collecting cash.

Good luck I hope all of this will get you some help.

Took me an hour, but I finally found Sean Kirst's email. He does great stuff for the Post Standard in syr. And he used to live in Rochester, so maybe it will catch his eye.
