Pet of the Week: Edgar

Pet of the Week: Edgar

Auckland's SPCA always has lots of cute animals in need of new homes.

To help them find a loving family we've started a new Pet of the Week feature, including details of one SPCA animal up for adoption each week.

Edgar

Edgar was dumped at a house in West Auckland with five other roosters.

He's been living on the SPCA farm, waiting for his "forever home" since May.

Nearly all of his brothers have found homes already, but Edgar is still waiting!

Because of council noise restrictions, roosters need to live in a rural area.

Roosters will protect their flock of hens, making them feel safer and therefore laying more eggs.

They'll also hunt out tasty morsels for their hens, keep the pecking order in check and are fun to watch going about their day, making dust baths in the sunshine and chatting with their mates.

Other Auckland animals up for adoption can be viewed here.
