Legislation baning or restricting keeping of exotic birds

Tue, 05/11/2010 - 09:05 — Aaron

I hear rumors of pending rules change at Game and Fish. This is happening in response to additional authority granted circa 2000, and is being done without a direct legislative vote. The rule changes are open for comment until June 4. It would restrict or ban ownership of most pet bird species.

Semi-Handfed tiels need new homes

Sun, 04/11/2010 - 09:26 — Aaron

I have been experimenting with breeding for companion pet qualities. Two human bonded 'tiels are raising chicks.

I have been co-parenting.
Chicks step up, but do not seek pets.

One chick I have, parented this way, is an excellent companion.
Although she did not seek pets as a fledgling, she is well bonded to me as an adult.

I have one chick left looking for a home.
Any ideas on where/how to find homes for these guys?
I don't care about money, but I want to find a good home.
I hate the idea of them spending the next 6-8 months in a pet shop getting less and less tame.

HDBC Bird Rescue, Foster, and Adoption Program

Sat, 01/30/2010 - 08:33 — Aaron

The High Desert Bird Club of New Mexico is dedicated to education in the best care, keeping, maintenance, and breeding of caged birds. One of our main goals is to provide rescue, adoption, foster care, and rehoming for caged birds in need. If you have a bird you can no longer care for, or would like to adopt a bird in need of a home, or maybe foster a bird that needs a home until it can be rehomed, you're in the right place.

When a bird becomes available for foster or adoption, we'll post information here. We never know when we'll receive more birds, so check back here periodically.
