About Elizabeth and Darcy
A pair of Love Birds who are deeply connected to each other as their name suggests.
They don't have a lot of interest in you humans, except why you're late with the food again. They're definitely not impressed with your large size, these confident birds like to fly and sing.
Elizabeth and Darcy are quire insistent that their forever home be one where they are allowed at least a room to fly about inside daily. Nothing less will do. A tiny cage is no life at all and just won't do.
They're not a fan of cats and I honestly don't know who would win in a fight, the cats or these two. So no cats please.
They are absolutely not to be used for breeding, these birds are family members. Though be warned, they may lay eggs. The last lot did not hatch, probably due to stress of abandonment.
Sadly, at their last home the human companion they had come to like decided without warning to get rid of them and was going to open the door and lock them outside to fend for themselves. Fortunately a good neighbour stepped in and brought them to us instead. Their rescue is only complete, however, when we find the right home for them.
Medical notes
Both birds have been examined and are in good health and physical condition.
Adoption details
All animals are adopted, never sold, and an adoption contract is required in each case.
We generally bring the animal(s) to you and reserve the right the inspect the housing and garden at this time. That marks the beginning of a 30 day trial adoption period.
We are committed to supporting you throughout the life of the animal you adopt, so we are here for advice or assistance where possible. We want you and your new family member to have a long happy life together so we will do what we can to ensure this.
As a guide, the following terms appear in the chicken adoption form that is required to be signed to complete the adoption. Slightly different adoption forms exist for different species but the overall principles remain the same.
1. A minimum of 3 chickens must be adopted unless you have a flock of your own already.
2. The chickens are NEVER to be killed no matter how old they get or if they stop laying eggs - which one day they will do - except for the case of humane euthanasia when all other alternatives have been exhausted.
3. If medical attention is required you commit to taking them to a good vet without delay and without concern for the cost of their treatment.
4. You do not use these chickens to make a profit.
5. You give these ladies the love they deserve. They have come from hell and are entitled to the best you can give them.
6. If the adoption is unsuitable for any reason at any time in the future you will return them to the carer rather than selling them or killing them.
7. They are never to be eaten.
8. Chickens must have a suitable garden area to roam and explore.
9. You must maintain adequate fox-proof housing.
