Caspar showed up in the garden of some kind bird lovers and even tried to wander into their house. Unfortunately he wasn't wearing any rings so we can't trace his owners.
- Date Admitted: 20-05-2019Species:
- Domestic Pigeon or Dove
Age: Unknown but we would estimate Caspar was born in 2017 or 2018Sex: MaleHealth & Temperament:Caspar had some coccidiosis on arrival which we treated. He's quite a reserved sort of chap who tends to keep himself to himself. We're hoping he'll pair with one of our single females and that should help him relax a bit.
Ideal Home:As Caspar is currently single he is available for adoption. He will need a secure aviary and the chance to pair with a female pigeon.
We take finding excellent homes for the animals in our care very seriously. We passionately believe that small pets are EVERY bit as important as cats, dogs, horses etc and deserve the same level of care and consideration. If you want to adopt from us we'll ask that:-
- animals adopted from us live in the home as a pet - we do not home animals to schools, zoos etc and we do not home animals for breeding, feeding or any purpose other than as a companion.
- you understand that small size does not mean less importance. You'll take adopting one of our animals as seriously as if they were a dog or cat and be able to provide an excellent, dedicated home where the animals will be valued as family.
- you live in the South East of England, within about an hour of us in Wallington, SM6.
- you agree to be interviewed via video call or over the phone about the type of home you can provide and to provide pictures of the accommodation the animals would live in.
- you are willing to sign a contract agreeing to care for the animal/s in accordance with our care sheets and return the animal/s to us if you can no longer care for them.
- you agree to be proactive in keeping in touch to provide regular updates on the animals.
The pandemic has complicated adoptions. We operate from our home and we are shielding so we can't bring adopters into our house and get to know them as we usually would. Due to this, we are implementing some extra criteria temporarily to mitigate these issues. In order to adopt from us currently, we ask that you also
- have previous experience of caring for the species you are applying to adopt
- can provide a reference from a rescue or breeder from whom you have previously adopted, confirming that you have previously signed an adoption contract and complied with its terms.
The adoption handover will need to take place outside our home in Wallington with strict 2 metre social distancing observed and masks worn. If all that sounds ok, you can complete an application form here. On receipt, assuming you meet the minimum criteria, we will arrange a time to contact you by video call or telephone to ask you questions about how you would care for the animals.
