Thinking about rescuing birds.

Hey there,

I’ve a beautiful budgie-flock of 6. Recently, I moved in with my boyfriend and now they have their own room ! They free roam all day long . I started with 3 birdies and noticed, that they got happier with every single member and love being a flock. My two newest additions are Rubi and Bingo. Two girls I got from marketplace. The other ones I either got from a breeder or an animal shelter. I would love to enlarge the group with two birdies (at least) and thought about my options. I do not want to get new birdies from a breeder. I’d like to rescue some. Now I have to decide between getting them from an animal shelter or searching for birds on marketplace. I’d only get birds on there from People who can not longer take care of them or poorly took care of them their lives. I’d love to give a home to two birdies who lived in poorly conditions. For example, I got Rubi and Bingo from a middle-aged woman off of marketplace who got them as a gift. She didn’t knew how to take care of them and tried her best to rehome them. But nobody wanted them as they weren’t tame. These kind of birds is what I am looking for. I am prepared for taking in birds that might be sick. And they would be in a separate quarantine cage until an avian vet gives me the go. I know getting them from a shelter would support the shelter and it’s work. But I rather would rescue birds who’s former owners aren’t going to go to a shelter to give up their birds. I feel like there are so many birds ”under the radar“ that need a better home. Of course would pay attention not to support backyard breeding.

How do you like my plan? Have I forgot to consider something? Do you have experiences rescuing birds from private people ? I take any advice and experiences !:D
