Our homeowners association has finally pressured us to get rid of our pets ducks and chickens. So now they are looking for a new home to live in. Would anyone like to adopt them? :)

For a little over a year now we have had two ducks and three chickens in our backyard as pets. The neighbors until recently haven't complained about them.
I have a pair of ducks and chicken which were given to me as a gift when they were young. I raise them only as pets but do not breed or raise them for commercial purposes... My pets are not as noisy as a private plane hovering above our community for hours on end, a revving motorcycle down on El Toro Road, or a gardener's lawn mower.
We have suspicion that one of our neighbors got tired of the chickens making so much noise when they lay their eggs. The ducks aren't loud at all, so they aren't much of the issue. A complaint was filed and soon thereafter the community homeowner association took action after reviewing the rules and regulations. A letter which we received late last month finally convinced my parents to send them off to get adopted elsewhere.
What constitutes a 'common' pet? Only dogs, cats, and certain house birds? Filipinos keep ducks and chickens as pets often. They are not unlike other household pets. You still have to clean up after them, feed them, give them shelter. They make as much noise as a small dog and they don't go into other people's yards or mess with the local wildlife.
My friends and I have tried to figure out a way to build up an argument for this meeting, but my mother has decided it would be easier to just get rid of them. Who knows? Maybe it'll give a slight leeway into getting a new puppy pet. :D
