The Centre was founded by Dee Hendrickx, in 2014, the non-profit organisation hopes to rehome, rehabilitate and care for abused birds.
From BENONI CITY TIMES ARTICLE DATED 6 June, 2020, by Stephan Lehman:
Besides providing care to birds in need, the organisation gives educational talks to schools and companies about the upkeep of birds.
It also offers services such as clipping of wings and nails and beak trimming.
As an NPO, Brainy Birds is reliant on donations from the public to keep their doors open.
Funds donated by the public is used for the upkeep of the property, purchasing food and paying veterinary bills.
With the current global pandemic and current regulations in place, the NPO has been unable to host fund-raising events.
They house over 2,200 birds, and Dee tells Dustin and Lesedi, that due to the way these birds were abused, they cannot simply be "rehomed", and must be kept where they are. In addition, the owner of the property must sell. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge, as buying the property would be great, however this requires One million rand. They must fund the purchase in the next couple months.
