If you donate to Florida wildlife organizations, be prepared to dig deep.

The Gofundme page isn't set up, but I'll post when it is:


Screaming peacock saves owner of Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary from fire that kills 41 animals

A screaming peacock awoke Jim Bronzo early Monday to flames that devoured his home and 41 animals at the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary in east Orange County.

“I looked out the window and saw the orange flames...I had no clothes on. I had no phone,” he said. “I screamed out, ‘Somebody help me! Somebody please help me!’”

Orange County firefighters arrived about 1:30 a.m. as flames swallowed Bronzo’s two-story house on Baron Road, a 2.5-acre muddy plot about 19 miles east of downtown Orlando where he cares for 350 animals, including bearded dragons, snakes, llamas, goats, dogs and other orphaned animals.

He also is caretaker for Dalai the llama, a pack animal once owned by comedian Robin Williams. She survived the fire though she escaped the compound after the fire and was running loose Monday.
