*Expressions of interest*

JD is a 17yo male cockatiel who looks amazing for his age. His owner is having some ongoing health issues so we what to explore the options we have for JD. We aren’t in a position yet where rehoming is a necessity but we wanted to see if there are any clients that would be interested/consider adding JD to their household. He has lived with other cockatiels in the past but is currently a single bird. If you would like any further information please contact me direct.

Today we managed to stock up on paperbark perches for our hire cages. It’s been a while since we have a good supply of paperbark and it’s definitely a favorite with many birds! What perches or branches do your birds enjoy?

We have been busy the last few days with triage and supportive care with some of our amazing off shore seabird species that have been caught up in the strong winds of cyclone Alfred. If you do come across any injured wildlife please call Wildlife Rescue Queensland.

Thankfully we came out the other side with some rain but no destructive winds or power loss and are operating as normal.

It’s great to be a part of such an amazing Rescue, Rehabilitation and Release organization! If you have an interest in our Australian wildlife and would love to help them out we have many areas within the organization that you can be a part of. From the rescues, admin, caring and releases. Maybe this year is the time to join. 😉

Sick of the mess a foraging tray makes? A Seedmate is a great way to contain the foraging medium for your birds to forage within. We love the way this client has used cardboard to make cleaning up any faeces easy and a Traymate to easily clean out the litter and pellets. How do you use your Seedmate at home?

Well that’s a wrap! After 18years working at BBV I decided it’s time to say farewell. It’s bittersweet but our businesses are growing and it’s time to put all my attention into D’Aguilar Wildlife and BBB. Lots of memories to hold onto and lifelong friendships made over the years.

What does this mean for BBB customers?
Pick ups and drop offs will solely be at Wamuran from now on. I will no longer have access to check files myself so please make sure all birds are up to date with their annual health checks and testing required. If possible, if you could have records sent through ahead of booking a holiday so I have all information to approve your stay. 🧳🐥

**Update. Rizzo has now been Rehomed. Thank you for everyone who applied**

Sharing for a boarding Client. If you would be interested in Rizzo please contact me for an application form.

Rizzo is a 12 year old Blue Fronted Amazon and due to our changing circumstances we can no longer give her the best life. She has always been fully flighted and enjoys a short time out of her cage most mornings. She loves human company, a scratch to the back of her head and to share your food. She has a small vocabulary: hello Rizzo, peek-a-boo, what you doing? and whistles Bridge on the River Kwai theme song. Her diet consists of VetaFarm South American pellets and fresh fruit and vegetables. She has no behavioural issues .
Her annual vet visits are up to date, as of September 2023 and she has a clean bill of health.

Baffle cages have been around for many years however they are still one of the best foraging toys in my opinion. If you have a baffle cage at home that your bird uses, we highly recommend bringing it along for your birds stay. Baffles cages can have many uses from hiding fruit and veg to putting used toy parts in along with native nuts and browse. These are some of the birds on holiday with us having their breakfast this morning.

These two lovely boys are still available for adoption. If you are interested please send me through an email or PM for an application. :)

*Rehoming* Please contact me (Hannah) via message for an application form if interested.

These boys are up to date with their annual health check and been screened for Psittacosis. Here is a little bit about them from their owner:

Introducing Rowdy and Coco, a bonded pair of male pineapple Green Cheek Conures. These are lovely little birds, very affectionate and friendly once they get to know you. They are about three years old and have been kept together since they were babies. They need to be kept together as they are bonded.
They’re not too noisy for conures, just when they want to come out of the cage! I have always let them out whenever I am at home (and not cooking or eating). They are fully flighted and have never had their wings clipped. I would prefer them to go to a home that will keep them this way and let them out of the cage whenever possible.
They eat Nutri Blend Mini Pellets and chop, which consists of carrot, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, capsicum and zucchini, with just a small amount of apple in it. They love strawberries and raspberries for treats a couple of days a week and will do anything for a sunflower seed!
Personality-wise, they both want to be on you all the time. Coco is very cuddly and loves a cuddle in the morning. He is very curious, and I would say it’s important to keep pegs on any cage openings you have, as he is an escape artist. Rowdy (the boy with more red on his chest) is more independent and loves a bath in the mornings. He will come for a cuddle if Coco is being cuddled and is very food motivated. They both talk quite a bit, saying hello baby, what you doing and what is it amongst other things. If they are being noisy, one of them will say stop it!
I am only seeking to rehome them as I have taken on a dog from my old aunty that is absolutely intent on eating them! I don’t feel as though I can keep them safe out of the cage for longer than 10 minutes at a time, which is not fair to little birds who are used to being out of the cage and doing things with me all the time. It’s just not working for any of us, and the dog has already had Coco in her mouth. Fortunately, Coco was not injured at all, but it scared and upset me a lot. Unfortunately, I am unable to rehome the dog as I take her to visit my aunty in her nursing home.
The boys come with their large cage, all their forage toys, food and water containers, a training stand and a large wooden activity stand. You would need a ute or big four wheel drive to pick the cage up, as it has been welded to the base by a previous owner. The cage and all their gear will need to be picked up from Stones Corner, the boys are currently with Hannah at Wamuran.
I will miss these gorgeous boys terribly! If you are interested in these beautiful little birds, please contact Hannah. Thank you!
