West Coast plot for insane tax on tattoos — but only if you choose certain creatures
The Bird Alliance of Oregon has launched a humorous fundraising campaign that asks people to pay $10 for each bird-themed tattoo they have. The initiative, described as a “Bird Tattoo Tax,” is intended to raise money for bird habitat protection and related conservation efforts. Donations are accepted through a website and must be submitted by August 21.
- ▪The campaign is not an actual tax but a joke‑driven fundraiser targeting bird enthusiasts with tattooed birds.
- ▪Participants can submit photos of their bird tattoos and contribute a minimum of $10 per tattoo, with the deadline set for August 21.
- ▪Funds collected will support habitat protection, restoration, a wildlife hospital, advocacy for imperiled species, and nature education.
