Brown operates Ronie’s For the Love of Birds in Sandy, Utah. Up front, it’s a store that sells supplies for birds, like cages, toys, and feed.

In the back, Denyce runs a bird rescue. She’s seen an uptick in the number of birds being dropped off since the pandemic began, as many owners are moving to accommodate shifting lifestyles and jobs.

Denyce was in her bird rescue when the Fox 13 Dream Team contacted her by way of Zoom.
