My neighbour and good friend Patrick has an aviary of budgies. He took them over from a previous tenant when he moved into his place, as they were being neglected.

Eight years later he still has them and has cared for them really well all this time. He now has about 30 adult birds all under 6 years and 25 youngsters. They are pet quality birds, not show birds.

After 8 years, he is beginning to feel the time has come to move on.
He would like to find a way of dispersing them but is very insistent they go to a good place. He's advertised a bit locally and had a couple of calls wanting to take the whole lot - but he's not keen on this, he doesn't know who to trust. Also he has no idea what to charge for them if they wanted the whole aviary.

Any ideas?

If he is worried for their welfare could he not let a rescue rehome them all together for him?

Someone like The Society for Conservation in Aviculture ?
