Hey its Jo!

It's time, that time of the year. The big one...so all food, dishes, calcium and vitamin blocks as well as news papers are soo needed! 😔 we struggle around this time of year. And it takes a huge hit on our rescues...could you help? We also accept scraps but please contact Lesely for that to see how much material she needs!

I am currently on leave...again 😢 due to medical problems, but overlook everything! So rest assured we're still here! But please be patient with us!!

Plus we have 3 beautiful budgies for adoption! And adoption forms will or can be linked through doc signature or I could print them out and give copy. They will be ready 15th April just undergoing assessment as of now x

IT IS TIME! The time that many have much anticipated has come, and it's quite frankly very exciting...I think you'll agree ❤️

With Spring now here we are preparing forms and a private WhatsApp groupchat for our next big step. Due to limited capacity we will be looking to take on 3 volunteers who would be happy to act as foster aviaries for our disabled and unfit for release birds until the rescues can be adopted.

We have had an increased rate of inquiries regarding adopting our animals and we are quite frankly VERY excited! However, with an anticipated spike in future wildlife calls involving critically sick or injured birds we must keep space available to accommodate emergency rescues. And that is where you lovelies come in ❤️

> Our volunteers would be required to have a capacity of around 5-10 birds.
> Indoors is preferred as most of these are vulnerable and seeking forever homes and will not be liable for release in their lifetime. However, outdoor aviaries with suitable shelter will still be considered appropriate.
> Some rescues may be a little weaker than others hence why indoor enclosures are much more preferred.
> Each bird would need its own separate space to prevent aggression, bullying or stress.
> The birds would stay with you until they found their loving new home! We would also look to get feedback in their personalities and behaviours; photos and videos and general fun facts you notice about them which you feel would be beneficial to include in their adoption description 🥰

This will hopefully help us get around our limited capacity; build an understanding of each individual bird; and help build a stronger bird-loving community with more of us being hands on!

I am already working on adoption form templates, a step by step adoption procedure format, and leaflets for fostering and one for adoption etc. So let me know if you would be interested and I will post our requirements once I have received much appreciated feedback!

To apply ideally we are looking for people in IPSWICH, SUFFOLK and we will require a look at your aviaries/enclosures 🕊 we are also happy for this to go towards any work experience.

🪶If you decide to adopt a rescue at Pudge's Flock, please be aware that a home visit is mandatory to ensure a suitable and appropriate environment for each rescue!🪶

Here's what to expect ❤️

> We aim to post a list of rescues available for adoption every Friday evening!
> We will post a flattering photo of the rescue and provide all necessary information on any disabilities, specific requirements and any needs that each individual rescue bird may have.
> You might pick a certain rescue bird as they peak your interest and shoot us a message.
> We will attempt to answer any and all of your questions to the best of our ability about your chosen rescue.
> We will make sure that you have the appropriate knowledge with regards to your chosen rescue and their needs and wants and what is best for them.
> Now it's time to pick a suitable time and date for us to pop round for a home visit. This also a good time to ask any further questions you may have!

> After the process has been completed you will recieve a couple pages with your confirmation of adoption, your rescue bird's fact card, and information such as - local exotics vets; what to do in an emergency; our contact details; and some fun facts about pigeons! 😀

And that is how you adopt with Pudge's Flock ❤️

Does anyone know of any artists who would kindly digitally draw some custom topic-based art?

It would be awesome to spice this page up a little; especially with our attempt to post more "weekly and monthly" topics posts. It will hopefully be more helpful for our members to track different topics easier!

Here's some we will be trying soon >>
Once a week: Pigeons up for adoptions, Our newest arrivals, Success stories

Once a month: Member's success stories, Major updates, Stats for the month (such as arrivals & releases, overall adoptions, most commonly rescued species of bird, and our page interaction stats)

Such a beautiful pigeon, bred for shows. Not quite sure if he is pedigree but he does appear to be a fantail (with some very fin fluffy feeties). He was found by a lovely couple who couldn't bear to leave it alone. He could not fly more than a metre into the air.

Thank you for bringing him to me, he's now settled in his cage. Will give updates tomorrow but apart from scared and confused, he seems in good condition without any physical ailments!

Much love, Jo 🥰❤️

Edit: all pigeons available for adoption will be posted on here within the next few weeks so keep an eye open 😀
