Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...Choose the Airedale Terrier as a Pet and Say Good-Bye to Boredom“The King of the Terriers”, the Airedale terrier comes from Airedale, Yorkshire, England, and it is the largest of the terrier breeds. It comes from crossing the old and vanished breeds of the Black-and-Tan terrier with the Otterhound. It is also said that they have the Manchester terrier in their blood. They were initially bred to hunt otters (reason for which they are also called the Waterside Terrier) and hares in the valley of the Aire river - that also gave its name to the breed - and to herd sheep, being both shepherd and hunting dogs. The Africanis Dog From the South African Plains to Your Home Dog breeders do not officially recognize Africanis as a breed. Also known as the Bantu Dog or the Zulu Dog, the breed developed in South Africa and it is basically comprised of similar breeds that are originally from the area. However, dog historians have acquired enough evidence to conclude that, originally, the breed lived in the East and Middle East and migrated to Africa in ancient times. The Zulu Dog is a perfect companion for people, whether we are talking about more traditional activities like hunting or herding, or simply about the pleasure of having a dog companion. The Afghan Hound Elegance and Distinction If the old saying that claims that dogs and masters resemble each other is true, then the Afghan hound is surely the dog most likely to be seen in the presence of an aristocrat. Its silky, thick coat will match any of its masters' designer dresses or elegant suits. Distinguished in looks and personality, this is one of the breeds that you can't stop looking at when seeing on the street and that you are very likely to see at a dog show. The Aidi Dog A Perfect Watchdog Of Moroccan origin, the Aidi dog evolved as a watchdog for herds of goats and sheep. For this reason, it has heightened senses that are very good at detecting threats and its instincts are perfectly in tune, resulting in a speedy and efficient reaction. These characteristics are also perfect for a hunting dog - so it is also very good at filling that role. Very courageous, this breed has evolved in the Morrocan mountains, protecting itself and its owners from many vicious predators like wildcats, but also from strangers. Also called the Berber (it was commonly used by Berber tribes), this breed is very similar to Pariah dogs - to which it is believed to be related. |

Feathered Family is a 501c3 non-profit charitable organization recognized by the U.S. government as a public charity. We are dedicated to helping parrots in need of homes. We specialize in working with parrots with behavior problems, or those with feather abuse issues because these birds are at the most risk of being forced into breeding programs inappropriately or of euthanasia. We provide our Assisted Adoption program to help birds who do not have problems severe enough to require in house modification find homes if they are displaced from their current home for what ever reason. We do not breed, buy, or sell parrots. We do charge a small adoption fee upon placement, based upon our costs for caring for that bird while it was a Feathered Family resident. If a bird comes to us with suitable property, including but not limited to caging, toys, and supplies we send that property with the bird to its adoptive home. Many of our residents come to us without proper caging, or any proper supplies and we provide this while they are with us, but require the new home to provide it at the time of adoption. Each home is carefully screened, and investigated in person, to help assure that each placement is as smooth and well suited as possible. No bird is adopted to a person it shows an obvious dislike for, and no person is allowed to adopt a bird before completing placement visits and screening in order to ensure that each bird is placed in the right home. This is the reason we do not adopt out of Colorado, home visits and in house pre adoption placement visits are nearly impossible for parties living outside of Colorado. The number of parrots in residence at Feathered Family is kept small in order to assure the best possible care for each bird, and to allow enough time with each bird modify any problem behaviors. Each parrot relinquished to Feathered Family remains a resident until finding a proper adoptive home, regardless of how long that takes, we will not force any placement for any reason. Some birds have behavior problems so severe that they cannot be expected to fit into an adoptive situation, these birds stay with Feathered Family in Sanctuary. Each parrot is carefully evaluated, both physically and behaviorally before any decisions about adoption or sanctuary are made, our priority is to place every bird possible into a wonderful adoptive home.
