Become a Forever Carer
As a sanctuary and forever home to the birds we have, it's inevitable that, at times, we find the sanctuary at capacity. We are also often contacted about species we are unable to take in.
Why are we a forever home? It’s a fair question, and there’s a couple of answers.
Firstly, it’s important to us to provide the stability of the flock environment for the birds in our care. Since many have come from abuse and neglect, and are lacking confidence, the flock also plays an essential part in their recovery.
Secondly, a number of the birds surrendered to us are done so with the understanding that this will be their forever home. Some of these people have been in heartbreaking situations, and providing this assurance has been able to make things a little easier. We will not break that promise.
We don't want our space and resource limitations restricting us being able to help birds.
Hence, the Forever Carer project. This involves approved people (initially) from Perth and around WA who would like to take in the birds that we can't. This could include any of the smaller species up to the bigger cockatoos and other parrots.
We do have strict criteria to ensure birds will be going to safe and suitable environments which will meet their needs. Please only apply if:
for indoor birds, maximum flight time can be given
any outdoor aviaries have safety sections/doors (especially important for smaller and flighted birds), or you’re willing to arrange this
you do not provide breeding boxes
you’re willing to meet or talk to us pending a final approval.
It might seem like a lot, but the birds’ welfare is our priority, and we know there are wonderful people out there who understand that and are ready and waiting to help. We want to hear from you!
