Highlight
The society comes
across many types of
breeds of birds. Many are found unstable
conditions,
abandoned and many birds are also offered
to the club by their
owners.
What a lot of people don’t know is that the
bigger birds need
special attention and they live longer. Some
of the bigger birds
could live over 100 + Years.
When birds come
into the program we
will Foster them for 30 Days so we can
interact with the
birds to see how they react to us, if they
bite, if there sick, if
they favor one sex more than the other,
and so on.
Right now we have a
few birds that are in the program that are
available for
adoption. We will post a pick and there
adoption status.
Thanks the
Adoption
Committee
