If anyone can donate to this, please do!

We are good friends with Lazzi’s and the work they do is so vital, especially with macro/AGY birds who need special placements 🧡

In case you miss our latest post (algorithms are a fickle business): we are now at nearly $9,000 in donations for the aviary outbuilding!

The first deposit has now been paid and the council permit application is being submitted, so it’s all starting to happen here at the sanctuary. We couldn’t do it without your mind-blowing support 😍

If you would like to contribute to this incredible project, in order to support our work as one of Australia’s largest and leading bird rescues, the details are:

It’s happening! 🎉

We know a piece of paper doesn’t make for the most exciting post, but this represents something huge: we recently signed off on the quote for the aviary outbuilding, and paid the initial deposit. Now the council permit is being lodged as we speak!

Due to the size and scope of the project, we have to comply with local bylaws and get a permit first. But once this is approved, the materials will be made to order and then construction can begin!!

We’ve been able to quickly get this sorted thanks to your INCREDIBLE donations - we are now at almost $9,000 raised in just two weeks 😍

From the absolute bottom of our hearts: thank you to everyone who has believed in this dream to help the birds. We’ll be back to the regular bird photo/video posts shortly, but we’re just so excited to share every part of this journey with you all.
After all, transparency is at the heart of what we do, and YOU are all helping to make this happen 🧡

Thank you also to SteelChief for their fantastic customer service so far. After we spent so many hours following up dead ends with other companies, they have happily stepped in to oversee this entire project. Support local businesses wherever possible 🇦🇺

Winter skies are made so much brighter by these little guys ⛅️🧡

It’s Adoption Week for our friends at Pigeon Rescue Melbourne!

Pigeons make incredible pets - for many households, they are often actually a better choice than parrot species.

Keep an eye on their page for adoptable birds 🧡

Adoption Week kicks off today!

Every day this week, we’ll be featuring beautiful pigeons who are ready to find their forever homes 💜 New birds looking for their forever homes will be added at 7pm each night.

We have so many incredible birds in care, and adoptions make space for us to help even more. At the moment we're overflowing with birds. Every home will make space for another life saved.

We're looking for:

🏡 Indoor companion homes (yes, pigeons make amazing house pets!)
🌿 Predator-proof aviary or loft setups for birds who prefer the great outdoors

Whether you're new to pigeons or already a fan, we’re here to help! Drop your questions in the comments - we’d love to chat.

Ready to adopt? Fill out our quick "getting to know you" form, and one of our carers will be in touch: https://forms.gle/pd5cHXWxYDkSsQLt5

Let’s find these sweet birds the loving homes they deserve. 💕

Ten days ago, we launched our biggest, most ambitious fundraiser ever.

In just a few days, we have been so fortunate to have had so much incredible generosity from the bird community 🧡

We desperately need the aviary outbuilding construction to happen, in order to keep our doors open and continue saving lives.

Houdini the Gouldian finch came to us from a busy Melbourne pound, after ending up impounded a stray. We work closely with pounds and shelters to pull at-risk birds from them, but that work is unfortunately in danger if we cannot get further construction started here at the sanctuary.

Houdini now asks: Can you spare a dollar or two, to support our work as one of Australia's largest and leading bird rescues?

To donate, visit:
Gofundme.com/help-us-build-a-better-future-for-birds

Thank you so incredibly much to those who have already donated: all 150+ of you. We see your support and are so thankful, on behalf of birds like Houdini 🧡
