Thank you for being
so kind and looking to take one
of these wee ones into your
heart and home!
Take a look at some of our
wonderful flock that are
available for adoption to
"qualified applicants" as
well as some successful adoptions
Greyhaven has had. Click on photos
below.
Please note:
-
If a bird has a mate, they
must be adopted
together.
UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN NOT
ADOPT TO THE UNITED STATES. Due to legislation it
is extremely difficult to adopt
and/or take birds across the
border. IF YOU LIVE IN THE
STATES AND WISH TO ADOPT A BIRD
PLEASE contact
The Gabriel
Foundation that
is based in the USA as they may
be able to help you find a
rescue that is closer to where
you live.

Feathers Aren't Everything...
Sure, I may not
be beautiful and perfect on the outside, but
inside I am yearning for a forever home
where I’ll receive lots of love and
companionship. I watch you go by and hear
you whisper “what’s wrong with that bird”? Nothing’s wrong with me, I’m perfect inside
can’t you see that? All my friends that
appear perfect on the outside have forever
homes. When will my turn come? Wait a minute
here comes someone, no they’re not
interested in me, maybe next time.
Myths
• Feather loss
is always due to an illness
• Feathers will
never grow back
• Other birds
may start to lose feathers if associated
with birds with
feather loss
• These birds
won’t fit in with the birds I already have
• Unlikely that
they will be a good companion bird
Facts
• Feather loss
can be caused from over preening of a mate
• Feather loss
can be attributed to a poor diet, unsuitable
environment
• Feather loss
occurs when a bird is in a stressful
situation
• Feather loss
can be a result of loneliness, abusive
behaviour by humans
• Feather loss
can happen as a result of separation anxiety
• Feather loss
for some birds will be permanent the
follicles close due to excessive plucking
• Feather loss
can occur due to illness and not being
treated by an avian veterinarian
Example:
Jamais and Miel - Lutino and Grey Cockatiels. Jamais (Lutino)
and Miel (Grey) joined Greyhaven on March
24, 2004.
Problem:
Miel was over preened by
her mate Jamais.
Solution:
They were placed in separate cages
next to each other and enjoyed
supervised playtime with each other.
After Solution Photos...
Jamais and Miel progressed wonderfully and Miel
had grown
all of her feathers back.
