Planning your flock
Think about the adult size of the birds you intend to keep together, the space and shelter available, and how you will introduce new arrivals. Consider individual temperament as well as the breed name.
A suitable setup should let every bird feed, drink, rest and move away from companions. Plan carefully before adding birds to an established flock.
Before ordering
- Confirm the breed or variety, age and sex of the birds offered.
- Check whether the listing is for a single bird, a pair or another stated quantity.
- Review the individual listing for availability and buying options.
