Conference 7.286::pet_birds

	Since most people read notes using NEXT UNSEEN, all REPLYS are
	seen by new readers.

	The only thing that multiple base notes causes is a confused, and 
	difficult to find your way around in, notes file.

	If you keep replys to the base note, then later after haveing read
	the note, you decide you want the `free bird' youy will know which
	note to find the reply in.

          two chicks, looked white; successfully raised one of two
          chicks from the second clutch-a normal male.  These two

    	  on parents and grandparents of this four year old pair)
    
    	o 'Grandchildren' of the above: two normal males (from a
          clutch of five where one was white, two were fawn, and
          the remaining two normal males--parents were a normal-
    	  dark grey male, and a hen that was a lighter grey).

    The lovebird hen described in 393.2 has found a home. /Linda
    

    
    Ernie is a rescue bird in need of a home.  He is a very active bird and
    seems to get along well with my other budgies but they are a very bonded
    pair and do not welcome a third party.  So Ernie has his own cage but
    I would really like to see him in a home of his own.  He came from a 
    situation where a woman kept him in the same cage as her cockatiel.
    It was not a good match (although I know it can work in some
    situations).  The woman gave the two birds away and I got a call
    because the new owners did not want Ernie, just the 'tiel.  He will
    be going to see Dr. Kilgore this weekend to make sure he is as healthy
    as he appears to be. If you are interested in giving Ernie a good home
    either as a pet or breeder please let me know.
    
    Thanks

    Some of the budgies in previous base note about free parakeets
    (budgies) and finches are still available (all finches have been placed). 
    These include some hens--possibly a mate for Ernie (393.5), if anyone is 
    interested in breeder budgies (six have been placed already as
    breeders).  Various colors.  Cages, at least loaners, can be arranged.  
    Home number is 603/595-9429 in Merrimack, NH (answering machine is 
    *always* on-pls. leave a message-I will return all calls). /Linda

    Zebra finches in note 393.3 still available.  /Linda

    Kathy Halligan called to say she is still looking for homes for
    her breeding pair (male silver grey, hen white) and two normal
    males ('grandchildren' of the breeding pair).  I think she has
    one cage left.  Details in note 393.3.  Pls. call Kathy directly
    if interested.  She works second shift, so mornings and early
    afternoons are the best time to reach her. 508-657-8196.

    All Kathy Halligan's finches have found good homes.  Thanks. /Linda

    Hi,
    
    I was given one bronze-wing finch and would love to give it to someone
    who knows what it is and what to do with it!!  It is rumored to be
    aggressive, apparently, so wouldn't due with the gentler finches.  It
    is the size of a strawberry finch and in excellent feather.  You have
    to pick it up here at my house in Merrimack, NH.  Call to 'apply' for
    this adoption situation.  
    
    I want to place the bird with someone who is knowledgeable about
    finches, so it is not stricly speaking 'first-come, first-served', but
    if there is a 'tie' of possible people to adopt the bird, I will resort
    to who of the two called first.  
    
    My number is 603-595-9429...answering machine will pick-up/I promise to 
    return all calls within a day and to keep track of who calls first, second,
    etc. if there are several interested.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Linda

    One pair of zebra finches, gray male, white female, age unknown.
    Free to good home.  Possible way to get into breeding birds!

    One chicken egg incubator, slightly used, has been given to me.  In our
    barn loft now.  If anyone out there could really *use* this now, I'll
    give it to you.  If you just want it to have it, I'll keep letting it
    gather dust upstairs.  Sorry if this sounds flip, but I really want to
    know somebody needs this and is not just acquiring it.  Thanks for
    understanding.

    FREE TO GOOD HOME:
    
    2 MALE GREY COCKATEILS.  Sid and Tiny have been with me for
    5 years.  They don't get the attention I would like them
    to have because I have a cocker spaniel who is very jealous.
    Neither guy talks but they are hand held (Sid tends to be
    cranky, but he just needs extra attention).  
    They use to have the run or shall I say the fly of the
    house until Samantha arrived.  
    
    I can be reached on buffer::racine or dtn 276-9727 or
    508-53-75407.
    
    

    
    I'm moving to another state (TEXAS! YAHOOOOO!!!!!) and not all of my
    birds will be moving with me.  The following are free to good homes:
    
    5 American budgies, all hens.  Ages are between 6-9 months.  They were
    handled as younsters, but not much since then, so they will need some
    taming work, but all are pretty stable and have good pet potential. 
    Can be used as breeders next year.  4 are yellow, lightly pied with
    black and green.  One is white with a blue diamond on her back.  (This
    one is particularly steady and would make a wonderful pet!)
    
    2 chestnut-flanked white zebras, male
    2 normal grey zebra hens
    1 fawn zebra hen
    
    
    					Send mail to MEIS::TILLSON if
    					interested.
    
    

    
    All zebra finches now have a home.  The budgies are still available.

	FREE TO A GOOD HOME:

	Buster (alias "Bud") is a gray cockatiel, age 6 years, who we
	assume to be a male.  He is partially hand-tamed; he will sit
	on your finger and shoulder BUT he doesn't like to be "enclosed"
	in your hand and will sometimes nip.  He seems to prefer men.

	Buster is VERY vocal; in addition to the usual wolf whistles and 
	jungle noises, he can whistle parts of the themes to the movie 
	"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" and the TV show "Batman".  He can 
	also say "Hello", "Hi Bud", and "Pookie bird".   (Surprisingly, 
	he hasn't learned to say "Shut up"....)  He likes jazz with lots 
	of brass and percussion and he likes the vacuum cleaner.  He also 
	adores the touch tone telephone and the answering machine beeps.  

	He comes with a cage (the plastic bottom is broken and needs to be
	repaired/replaced), food, and other bird paraphernalia.

	My husband hasn't had the time to spend with Buster for the last
	year or two and now we are moving out of state and our stuff
	must go into storage for a while.  We'd like to see Bud go to
	a "birdy" person who will appreciate his (ahem) outgoing personality.

	Buster is located in Gardner, MA.

care of her.  I work in Nashua and live in Manchester, NH.

Any one interested please contact me by email.

    She has just lost her cage mate (a male parakeet) and needs someone 
    to give her a lot of attention or another companion bird.  Due 
    to a change in our living schedule we are unable to raise or keep another

    I received a call last night from a person asking if I knew anyone
    interested in adopting a Ring Neck Dove.  It seems that this bird
    was almost used for snake food.  It was brought to a school for the 
    purpose of becoming lunch for a python.  I concerned student rescued
    the bird and is looking for a good home.  I didn't want to put this 
    into the for free note ..... I thought that it wouldn't get immediate
    attention.  I am giving my fellow noters a chance to consider this 
    opportunity before I go beyone this audience.  If you are interested
    please contact me either via EMAIL at SVCRUS::BUCCIERI or DTN 223-5089.

    I have an adult female budgie that I am looking to place.  She has had
    a very hectic life and would enjoy the company of other budgies rather
    than that of humans.  Would probably due well in a breeding situation.
    
    Because of this birds past (3 different homes lots of stress) I'm
    being very cautious with placement.  Please contact me for more
    info if you are interested.

    FREE RINGNECK DOVES!!
    
    2 cute baby Ringneck Doves....and 2 more in the nest!  Must find good
    homes for these little guys.  They are very quiet and gentle birds,
    you must have a good sized cage so that they have ample room, since
    they are not small birds (about the size of a Mourning Dove or small

             I have taken possession of a parakeet that I must
 pass on to a good home. This bird is pure white and quite 
 pretty! It is not hand tame but just specializes in looking
 good :-) There is no cage included so you would need one.
 This bird would probably also do well in a breeding situation.

             The bird is located in Merrimack near the MKO 
 facility.

    I have quite a few finches that I would like to place...no charge.
    
    1 male zebra..white.  real pretty, and a great singer!
    
    5 society finches.  Parents and 3 babies (2 males, 3 females)
      some fawn and white, some chocolate and white.  The males
      sound like a cross between a house wren and a canary.  They
      also talk to me when they see me coming with breakfast and
      their vegetables.
    
    3 orange cheeked waxbills.  the cutest little guys...when they
      talk they sound like squeaky toys.
    
    All these birds are together in a very large Hoi cage.  The
    birds can all go together or separately.  I paid $75.00 for
    the cage and, if someone wanted to have a ready-made finch
    colony, they could have the cage also for $50.00

    FREE:  One Parakeet.  Three years old, give or take a couple of months
           We can't figure out whether it's a male or female.  It's 
           cehr (sp?) is an odd cross between dark blue and brown.  The pet
           store told us at the time that it was a male.
    
           He is very healthy and does chirp, not constantly.  Prefers
           lots of noise and then he really gets going.
    
           Color is lemon yellow.  Plays with his toys.  If he decides to
           venture out of his cage, he easily finds it to get back in but
           he seems to prefer the cage to freedom.
    
           He comes with bedding, his sprays, and seed BUT you have to 
           provide the cage.  
           
           My daughter would like to seem him placed in a nice home. I
           think she feels guilty that she hasn't has time to spend with
           him.
