| Adoptions |
|
Although our focus is mainly on wildlife we
are often called in to assist with domestic
or exotic birds that have been abandoned or
escaped into the wild. We also accept owner
surrender of some domestic birds for
placement into our adoption programs. If you
have a bird that you can no longer keep
please email us and we will try to assist
you. |
|
| What
Kinds of Birds Do We Get |
The following is a common list of birds we
get on a regular basis.
1.Domestic ducks, the most common are Pekin,
Rouen or Muscovy.
2.Domestic geese such as Embden or Toulouse
(the white and grey barnyard geese).
3. Occasionally we get swans, chickens,
peacocks, pheasants, domestic doves or
pigeons, cockatiels, parakeets or turkeys.
Some of these birds have a longer waiting
list depending on types. |

| Requirements
for Adopting |
YOU MUST OWN THE LAND YOU INTEND TO KEEP
DUCKS ON!
It is illegal in the state of North
Carolina to place ducks on property that
doesn’t belong to you. Therefore: We do not
place ducks in parks, development lakes or
anywhere the public has access to them.
Renters must have landlord approval.
Other Requirements Are:
·
Waterfowl must have a secured predator proof
housing at night. You must provide us with
photos of the outdoor enclosure that the
duck or goose will be staying in during the
day as well as photos of the nighttime
housing, both inside and out. If your in our
local area we will need to conduct a home
visit before you will be allowed to adopt.
·
All birds must
be provided fresh food, water and medical
care when needed at all
times. |

| Wild
Duck Release Programs |
Want
maintenance free ducks?
We can release wild ducks onto your property
that you can enjoy without any commitment.
As long as your property provides a
suitable habitat for wildlife and no hunting
is done on your land you can qualify as a
release site. Types of birds we need
release sites for are Swans, Mallards,
Canada Geese or Wood Ducks. |

| Adoption
Fees |
|
We are an all volunteer 501(c)3 non profit
charity. We rely on donations and adoption
fees to allow us the funds needed to provide
veterinary care, housing and food to the
wildlife and domestic animals. We require a
donation for each animal that is adopted.
