Not to mention inappropriate use of rat bait also causes many other native animals horrible long excruciating unnecessary deaths including Possums, Native rodents, Bandicoot along with many other native birds of Prey!

If you pick up a gun and shoot a bird — so, suddenly, for fun, for "sports" — read these few lines.
The birds we call torturers live a love story that many humans could envy. They choose only one mate. For the rest of my life.
This is where the saying "like two little birds" comes from.
But when one of them dies... the other one stays. Alone. In so much sadness, it's hard to even explain
This photograph captures that very moment — silent, without a shout. That silent and desperate pain that you can’t see right away, but it hurts like hell.
Because true love doesn’t fade with a single stroke.
And you... you can decide whether or not to be the one who breaks it.

We also need to replenish our medical supplies including perishables, medications, combine, vet wrap just to name a few.

We currently have a service outage in our area as part of the aftermath of the recent storms, we are currently working on rebuilding aviaries and fencing as we have had damage caused by winds.

Please contact us via message to page and we will check page regularly throughout the day when we are able to access wifi due to phone towers being affected we currently do not have access to phone calls or messaging. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have an animal emergency please contact your local veterinary clinic.

We hope everyone is safe and well at this time, please show our volunteers patience and appreciation at this time as we are currently under the pump.

We appreciate your understanding, Regards Team at Feathers & Fur Small Animal Rescue.

We are currently getting more and more roosters coming into care due to being dumped.

This is extremely disheartening to see!

Sadly most dumped poultry don't make it to safety due to predatory animals making a quick meal of them or if they go unnoticed by members of public sadly pass away of starvation, dehydration or exposure to the elements.

Please reframe from dumping there are many alternative avenues you can take! Try and find an appropriate home for your feathered friend first then after exhausting this avenue You could contact a local rescue group, sanctuary or shelter for assistance/direction.

Sadly most rescues are consistently at capacity but may be able to assist with finding homes for unwanted poultry by assisting with advertising while the poultry remain with the owner. If you are needing to rehome due to noise complaints you can house your boys in a dark enclosed box eg carrier or box with ventilation covered in a towel or blanket in a dark room of a night letting them out during the day.
Alternatively crow collars can be utilised if used safely. Please ensure if a crow collar is in use it is removed prior to rehoming or notify the new owner or shelter of the presence of the crow collar. Many inexperienced or unknowing new owners will not instinctively know it is there as crow collars are hidden under the collar feathers. We have had many roosters come into care sick and lethargic due to crow collars being placed on young birds then them being rehomed to new owners that have not even been made aware of the collar being in place. Crow collars becoming too small causing prevention of consumption of food, water or even strangulation as the bird grows.

Please think before you breed! Ask yourself are you able to provide a forever home for the boys if you are unable to find suitable homes ? If not maybe it is more viable to obtain s*xed point of lay pullets or s*x linked chicks to reduce the strain on yourself to find homes for unwanted poultry.

If you are looking for a new boy to join your hen house we have multiple eligible batchelors looking for their forever flocks.
