She is open and honest about her early years in the rescue business as she stumbled her way through a steep learning curve, and gives herself perhaps too little credit when it comes to her dedication to saving hundreds of birds that had been abandoned or neglected by their previous owners. Raffin's writing is companionable and humble. "Mucking out parrot poop is not a predictable second career for me, a former Silicon Valley executive with a master's in management science," she writes in the introduction to "The Birds of Pandemonium." It was a chance encounter with an injured white dove that transformed her quiet suburban life into that of an exotic bird rescuer, conservationist and founder of Pandemonium Aviaries, the aptly named nonprofit bird sanctuary that is dedicated to saving birds from extinction. Michele Raffin never set out to become, as she calls herself, a "Bird Lady."
