Max the Cockatoo JW Desert Springs

3 Upvotes

Anyone have any idea what happened to the birds in the aviary at the JW Desert Springs in Palm Desert? We scheduled a trip through Palm Springs as we love to see the birds, especially Max the cockatoo. We were terribly disappointed to see that the room was locked off. No one seems to have any idea where the birds went. One worker simply told us they were donated to homes. Anyone have any additional information? We would love to know that the birds are OK, and would love the opportunity to see Max if at all possible.
