Petshop Licence

We are currently going through the process of obtaining a petshop licence with Stornoway Council. We don't actually need one but this should quash any rumours you may hear from Stornoway Petshop who currently have their own issues to deal with.

We at Island Poultry pride ourselves on the quality of our animals and the conditions they live. We receive many positive comments from customers, and even from our local SSPCA officer.

May Island Poultry continue to thrive and offer quality of animals and a service to the community.

Hand Feeding a Baby Lovebird

I was asked by a friend if I would take a baby lovebird that wasn't growing on like its siblings. Having never hand reared such a bird I must have been mad to say yes.

Tweeny

We have called her Tweeny as she is so small and she is about 14 days old. She is being fed on Harrisons "Neonate Formula" every 3-4 hours. She is eating just under .7cc

UPDATE

I am sorry to say that she did not live past a few days. She was eating fine but not growing.
