Since 1986,
Gail has produced the Baby Bird Calendar
featuring her photographs of adorable baby birds. For the
first time since 1986, the Baby Bird Calendar
was not published for 2003-2006, and will not be published for
2007 due to family illness.
She contributed to
a monthly column for Bird
Talk Magazine called "Ask The Experts" for a decade
(1990-2000) and has written a number of articles for
national and international bird periodicals.
Birds raised at Aves
International have been featured in the movie "Paulie, A
Parrot's Story" and on the television program, "Wild
Things" on the UPN Network,
as well as in television commercials (remember the hornbill on
the Yahoo commercial?). One of our baby Blue & Gold Macaws
appeared on Survivor Amazon on
CBS in 2003.
Gail has been a speaker
at many national and international avian conferences including
those of the American Federation
of Aviculture, International
Aviculturists Society, Canadian
Parrot Symposium, the Midwest
Avian Research Expo, Avicultural
Society of America, the AVES Conference in Grafton, Australia,
and the
World Parrot Congress
at Loro Parque, Tenerife, Spain.
Her photographs have
appeared in many national and international publications and
in the Baby Bird Calendar for eighteen years. Some of these publications
include Bird
Talk Magazine, American Cage-Bird Magazine (now defunct),
Parrots Magazine (United
Kingdom), Avicultural
Society of America Bulletin,
Wirtschafts Woche (German),
Scientific
American, CNN.com/money,
and USA Today. Her images
have also been featured in educational materials for children
and in advertisements for avian products. Stock images are available
for commercial purposes; please enquire if interested.
Gail is a long-term
member of a number of several conservation groups that protect
natural habitats of animals and plants such as The Nature Conservancy
& the
World Wildlife Fund. She has also supported Greenpeace and The
Cousteau Society in its campaigns to protect oceans (whales)
and other natural habitats. She contributes to many wildlife
habitat protection entities, both private and public ones. She
does not, however, support nor respect animal rights groups that
would take
the rights away from people who wish to keep and breed birds.
Gail's beloved mentors in aviculture, botany, and ornithology,
Stephen G. and Lelia J.Worth & Pauline Longest of Fayetteville,
North Carolina, Don Bleitz of Hollywood, California, and Ken
McConnell of Red Bluff, California have all passed from this
earthly plane. They are all sorely missed. They were all wonderfully
knowledgeable, kind, and sharing and a great debt is owed to
them all! If not for the support of Lelia Worth, Gail's mother,
Aves International might not have existed.
