Today marks 5 and a half weeks since a stray parrot was found and rescued in Vazon.

The very friendly adult Senegal Parrot arrived on the 25th June after being rescued by a member of the public and the GSPCA team are really shocked that an owner hasn’t come forward.

We are appealing for any information if you think you know the owner or if they are your birds please call the GSPCA on 257261.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Although if a stray isn’t claimed after 21 days we are able to find them a new home we are really surprised that a Senegal Parrot that was rescued in Vazon over 5 weeks ago hasn’t been claimed.”

“The bird often says Charlie amongst other phrases so we have been calling it this instead of Vazoon which was the first name and enjoys a head tickle so has definitely been a much loved pet.”

“We do sometimes find with birds especially that people don’t think to let us know when they lose their feathered friends.”

“If you have information who the owner might be or if you think they could be your birds you can call the GSPCA on 257261.”

“We have held off with rehoming Charlie just yet, but normally with all strays if not claimed in 21 days once healthy they are put up for adoption and we do have a variety of birds currently looking for homes.”

“We are having one last push, but if not claimed we do have a home interested in this lovely bird.”

Steve continued “There are many ways you can help support our vital 24/7 work and donate or raise funds for the hundreds of animals in our care.”

“With over 100 hedgehogs, 2 seal pups, dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, fish, reptiles and many birds we help over 3000 animals through the doors every year.”

“If you would like to support our Amazon Wish List and see lists of items that we use every day and things that we are appealing for.”

“If would like to help with wish list items you can call us on 01481 25721 or email [email protected] or the easy way to see many items we are in need  is by going to our Amazon Wish List https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/25MJPPDAGXHL1?type=WishList .”

“We do promote buying items locally but shopping online can help raise funds at the same time as if you select the GSPCA through easy fund raising part of the amount through 1000’s of online retailers comes back to the GSPCA and it has raised over £2500.”

“To sign up to do this please visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/guernseyspca/?u=1CHID8 .”

“Sadly Amazon Smile doesn’t allow Guernsey charities to sign up but you can go through easy fund raising to achieve the same donation.”

“As mentioned you can always chose to donate via local stores and the Amazon Wish List is a shop front showing some of the items we need but there are many others and we have published these on our Wish List page http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/our-plans-wish-list .”

“A gift of a tiny bowl costing less than a £1 to a £600 intensive care unit, every donation is hugely appreciated and really makes the team smile that there are those that care and want to support our work.”

“Another amazing way to support our work is by just a couple of pounds each month can make a massive difference in helping the animals in our care and to find out more please go to http://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/Angel%20sponsor%20form%20special%202018%20new.pdf .”
