❤️ The Humans
The Humans
While the Executive Bird Council provides strategic leadership, policy guidance, quality oversight, and snack-related governance, the organization relies heavily on a small team of human staff to carry out day-to-day operations.
Their contributions are appreciated.
Most of the time.
