As you say its worth it and must be so satisfying and rewarding. If i didn't have so many other commitments i would love to rescue. How do you go on about quarantining the birds. My daughter has been asked on more than one occasion to take in birds for holiday boarding and she just hasn't got the space so has asked if i would do it but i would have to have sooo many more rooms to separate them all .

fortunately ive always had enough space and moving here there is even more, there is only the 2 of us and we have a 4 bedroom house so its ok and some of the birds from the charity already come disease tested, some people would call my lack of social life unfortunate but I am happy with it just being me and them, i guess the fact im a recluse makes it easier to have more!

Love all your pets porthos, I am so envious. I have no time just looking after my chickens and my budgies. I would love to have some guinea pigs, mmmmm, must think about that one. Thanks for sharing all the pictures, they are stunning colours in the birds. Are Daphne and Maurice related - they are so similar in colouring?

That's lovely, i would love a couple more rooms here. I hadn't thought about the rescues disease testing, that is a bonus for you and the birds .

yes it does help, its not always the case but a couple came already disease tested and I am lucky with the space, some sad news today though this morning Cuthbert was running around and this afternoon I went to chck on them and he had died, he was 4 and had had a bad start in life and was deformed like his brother who we lost last year so I can only imagine it ha something to do with that, at least he s running free with his brother

Poor Cuthbert, sorry to hear this, porthos. But at least he had love and care for the last part of his life.

well this is our safehouse Lolly, bit worrying her diet was truly shocking an as a result she is I poor shape, she is an orange winged amazon and where her feathers are yellow on her body they should be green which indicates liver problems, since being here though she is taking to her new diet pretty wel
