My wife and I have been homing/rescuing pet birds that can no longer be kept by their owners for various reasons. We have become the go to for homing these birds by a Hong Kong animal charity. Over the past year and a half, we have homed 16 birds (at last head count), including Macaw, Conure, Eclectus, Jardine, Lovebirds, a Ringneck, Cockatiels and a Budgie. The tamer birds live with us indoors and get all the love and attention they need, but the smaller ones that aren't tame and prefer to be left alone, live in an aviary. Our original wooden aviary, which I built, is becoming a bit crowded and showing signs or wear. I had to patch it up after part of the wooden frame was chewed through and 4 Lovebirds escaped (they all came back). I'm looking to get them a new, bigger aviary. We are pretty sure we will be approached to home more in the future and would like to create an environment where they can comfortably live out their days. We have enough space to erect a decent size aviary.

I've priced them on Alibaba and what aviaries are available and can be shipped to Hong Kong come in at between 5000 and 6500 RMB including shipping. Your donations to this cause will go a long way to helping us achieve this. I'm only asking for the approximate cost, to mainly subsidize the full cost. I will cover all other related expenses. Any and all donations greatly appreciated, though time is of the essence due to the condition of their current home.

I keep you all updated with progress and when it all works out, share news and photos of them in their new homes.

Final phase

Update posted by Ian Perrins at 03:26 am

After a few hiccups and having to fork over an extra 1000hkd for transport, the aviary finally arrived at our place... only for me to discover that the manufacturer either conned me or screwed up. The openings between the bars are about 2 inches square - easily big enough for. . . . .

Thanks to you...

Thanks to all the generous donations, the fund stands at HKD5,150. Looking good for an early finish! Because of your generosity, this weekend we were able to re-purpose a small bird aviary that came with a cockatiel to house the Sugar Gliders, a pair we homed from some Lamma folks. . . . .

  • It would be nice to see the new “home” when it’s ready, but I don’t know where you live Ian.
