About Earthquake
My name is Earthquake, not because I make the ground shake, just because I'm a Quaker and these humans thought it was funny.
I was lost or dumped, and after weeks of searching for my original family it's time to look forward and find a new permanent family. I'm hoping for people who will love me deeply and spend a lot of time with me. I need a fair bit of attention.
I'm not an ornamental bird to be pretty, I'm supposed to be your friend and companion. I want to be involved in what you're doing and tell you about my thoughts.
I need to have daily time out of the cage to fly about the room.
If that's not compatible for you then keep walking, buddy.
I have a bit of an attitude, and after a few stressful weeks being lost and alone I've started biting a bit. Honestly, I'm only doing it because I'm unsettled but it will take me a week or two to calm down. So I need someone who is patient.
Medical notes
Earthquake is healthy and fit but has developed stress related behaviour such as biting. He will need a patient hand to bring him around.
We are not 100% confident as to whether he is male or female, just using our best guess.
Quaker parrots are intelligent and curious birds who bond strongly but are so full of personality, they will let you know when they are displeased.
Quakers can live 20-30 years so this is a long term commitment.
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.
