"So now that you've written a book, we'll need a picture of you and your bio for the back cover," my chosen publisher announced as I debated the typical arrangement. "I don't think so," I muttered before sending him an autographed photo from one of my modeling shoots. "Why's that?" he asked. "You're not exactly hard on the eyes!" he flattered as I shook my head. "It's not about me, Andy," I retorted. "You see, it's about Pearl's life and adventures, but more than that, my series has become a way to unite the poets, singer-songwriters, artists, sculptures, small business owners and supportive fans of the world that agree with my motivations. One can rescue and rehabilitate an endangered parrot but is that going to stop the destruction of the natural resources of her native land of Mohaka, Indonesia, making it a near impossibility for her species along with the Tanimbar and Umbrella cockatoos from becoming more and more scarce in the wild?" The one-word answer is "no." In my opinion, for what it's worth, the ONLY way to cease the trading of endangered animals that are raised in captivity is to focus our interest on other commodities that aren't quite so "high maintenance" such as the arts and that's why I reserve the back covers of my series in order to pay it forward by thanking the artists of the world for stepping up to donate and/or auction off their art in order to support Pink Pearl's Parrot Rescue, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (Federal Tax ID-46-4794769). In order of which they came forward, I extend my humble gratitude to Daisy Timonan for her beautiful illustrations that she created in honor of Pearlybird; Tony Sanchez for his generously donated Giclêe and for offering to accept commissioned paintings to support us; Daniel Oropeza for hosting our first fundraiser at his wonderful studio; Donjo Medlevine for being a memorable friend of 20+ years and for stepping up to create parrot sculptures in support of our endeavors along with auctioning his other sculptures at our first fundraiser; Michael and Marie Parker for their contributions and donation of the lovely Giclêe pictured above with Chloe Cockatoo and Pink Pearlybird on the front cover beneath my acrylic painting titled, "Porsche"; and last but I'm sure will never be least, Wyland for donating his autographed and limited numbered lithograph to auction off. In the famous words of Martin Luther King, Jr., "If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." -- Respectfully yours, Jes Führmann, author

Because the multi-talented, world-famous Tony Sanchez has graciously offered to sell custom-commissioned paintings in order to show his support for Pink Pearl's Parrot Rescue and parrot rescues around the world, I'm dedicating Volume three of my quadrilogy to him beginning with a four page full-color layout of his outstanding bio. Daniel Oropeza, is hosting the first annual fundraiser to support our organization, featuring sculptures by Donjo, Designs, signed and numbered Giclées by Michael Parkes, Tony Sanchez, myself and many other avian and art enthusiasts. Daniel's full-color bio is featured in the final pages of this colorful volume as well. Please contact me at Pearly.bird@yahoo.com if you would like to have Tony, Daniel and or Donjo create a custom painting or sculpture of your loved ones. A portion of the commissioned work will be contributed as a tax-deductible donation to our non-profit organization. All artists who step forward to follow in these caring artist's footsteps will be featured in volume four of my quadrilogy to pay it forward by promoting your artistic endeavors internationally. Please enjoy Volume three of my first quadrilogy, created with international love and kindness by gifted poets, artists, singer-songwriters and avian enthusiasts worldwide as Pink Pearl continues to march forward, one talon at a time to unite the world together for a great cause.
