380.0. "FREE Parakeets and Finches-Homes Needed Fast" by CLOSET::COMPTON (Linda DTN 232-2441 ACO/E47) Mon Jul 02 1990 14:02

    FREE breeder budgies, American and English, and an assortment of
    finches, in pairs or groups.  Contact me for details if interested.
    The birds are located in Littleton, MA.  I am entering this for someone
    I know who had to move quickly to Larchmont, New York for
    emergency/personal reasons and needs permanent homes for her flock.

380.1finches still available; searching for cagesMEIS::TILLSONSugar MagnoliaFri Jul 06 1990 11:1220
    
    I am fostering the finches mentioned in the basenote.  They still need
    permanent homes, pairs or groups *only* (finches need the company of
    their own species) to good homes.  I'm located in Ashby, Mass, and will
    deliver within a reasonable distance.  Please let me know if you are
    interested.  
    
    I am hoping to place several pairs/groups in permanent homes with
    schools and retirement homes.  If you have cages that are appropriate
    for finches (ie; closely spaced bars!) that you are not using, please
    consider donating them.  I'm willing to do a reasonable level of
    cleaning/sterilizing/refurbishment of used cages.  I am also willing to
    come and pick them up.  If you can help out, send mail to MEIS::TILLSON
    or leave a message on my answering machine at home (508) 386-7138.
    
    Thanks for your help.

    Still available are: 5 English breeder hens (a couple could possibly be
    tamed if you had the time); three pairs of American parakeets; assorted 
    American parakeet hens.  Free to good homes.  Transportation can be
    arranged, within reasonable distance from Merrimack.
    
    Call me at 603/595-9429 before 9:30 p.m. and
    weekends if interested or for individual descriptions of birds.
    
    A huge T H A N K Y O U to Rita Tillson and others whose acts and words
    of support are turning this situation around for these feathered
    friends and their very worried former owner, who became unable to
    care for them.

    A dozen still left.  Some have paired off, some are still loners.  At 
    least one hen acts as though she was someone's pet.  The others may be
    best as breeders.  Two lutino hens, one black-eyed grey-wing white hen,
    one yellow-face light blue and green opalescent male, etc.  Very
    pretty.  Free to good home.  May be able to help out with cages if
    that is all that is in the way of adopting them.  They are used to 
    greens, veggies, millet, calcium and mineral blocks, spring water,
    natural perches and lots of flight room, and will need to be adopted by
    folks who can offer a comparable situation.  If you are one of those
    special people, please give me a call at DTN 381-0687 or 603/595-9429
    eves and weekends after 9 am but before 9 pm, please.  Answering
    machine is on 100% of the time, so please say hello...I will return all 
    calls if I miss you the first time around.
    
    Thanks!
