If anyone asked where she got the birds from in a funny way she'd say they came by a special carrier. She closed down the centre in February 2022 due to an investigation into her charity to prevent this from happening she closed centre down and moved all birds except Vultures to other collections and to prevent word from getting out she didn't tell her staff at centre where birds where going and why centre was closing which is why the announcement surprised everyone illhealth was another factor.
