Hurricane Milton<\/span> made landfall Wednesday night as a “dangerous Category 3” storm near Siesta Key, on Florida’s central west coast, the National Hurricane Center said. Siesta Key is a barrier island located just south of Sarasota. Milton had sustained winds of 120 mph at landfall, but its strength diminished to Category 1 as it moved inland across the state.<\/p>\n

Donations are now being accepted to the AFA Disaster Relief Fund. These funds will be used exclusively for bird owners affected by natural disasters. Please donate today to help us offset the losses to bird owners, rescue operations, breeding facilities, and more.<\/p>\n

The AFA cares about you and your birds. After Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, AFA volunteers Margarethe Warden, Jean Jordan and Rick Jordan drove the AFA rescue supplies to the area to help bird owners.<\/p>\n
