MY AVIARY
Here is an attractive and practical indoor/outdoor aviary that I had custom built (many thanks Uncle Frank!), with removable divisions for breeding season. While it was built for 3 pairs, it actually houses 2 pairs, so it is more spacious.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF PET OWNERS
As a pet owner it is YOUR responsibility to ensure the health and well being of all creatures in your care. The Victorian Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act covers all animals and birds and proclaims the following offences pet owners should know about:
- Abandoning an animal, failing to provide drink, food or shelter for an animal.
- Ill-treating, injuring, tormenting or torturing an animal.
- Killing an animal in a cruel manner unlawfully or maliciously.
It’s your responsibility to ensure you provide conditions that comply with RSPCA five freedoms:
- Free from hunger and thirst.
- Free from discomfort.
- Free from pain, injury and disease.
- Free to express normal behaviour.
- Free from fear and distress.
