About Banksia

Meet Banksia! This charming fella was rescued by a kind-hearted person and brought into the shelter, and we're so glad they did! Banksia is the perfect mix of gentle and sweet, with his adorable little beard and stylish, feathery "pants." Whether he’s chatting with his ladies or showing off his snazzy footwork in the yard, he adds a bit of country charm wherever he goes.Banksia takes his role as the flock's protector seriously, but he also knows how to relax—enjoying a tasty snack, a cozy dust bath, and a good chat (he's a bit of a talker!). He’s great with hens and would thrive in a home where he’s understood and can have plenty of space to roam and rule. He’d absolutely love it if his new home already had some hens (preferably of a similar size) to look after. A spacious, fox-proof, weatherproof, and flight-proof coop is a must—Belgians are known for their impressive flying abilities, after all! (photos required at adoption) While Banksia can be a bit shy at first, with some patience and confidence, he'll be your loyal, quirky companion.Could you make room for this sweet little guy?For more information on Banksia's housing needs: What housing do I need for my chickens? – RSPCA Knowledgebase
