More than 100 finches rescued from foreclosed home in Ottawa
An animal rescue group is working to rehome more than 100 small birds found in a foreclosed house in Ottawa.
Jill Woods, who runs the Feathered Haven Parrot Rescue in Smiths Falls, Ont., said the birds — 106 finches and two canaries — were rescued from a “hoarding situation” on Sunday.
She said a family member of a woman evicted from the home last week contacted the Wild Bird Care Centre in Ottawa, which then contacted Feathered Haven.
Woods said it took a co-ordinated effort to get the birds out of the home, where some of the finches were in cages and others were flying free.
