Welcome! Lovebirds and cockatiels are my passion. My birds don’t always mind me - a strict order was given to them to not breed. After pulling eggs for a year, all the while fearful the hens would deplete their bodies by their stubborn persistence to show me that I’m not the boss - they finally won. This site should actually wait for posting until all the eggs hatch, but hand feeding will take up my time! The babies shown above are nearing their weaning stages, but we have more families arriving any day now!
The following pages are filled with pictures of the flock. The numbers are constantly changing. Some of the sweeties pictured are not for sale. Not that they are particularly a one person bird, I can’t imagine life without them.
I ship my weaned birds only between May and September - provided that there are not several flight changes nor long layovers. Since there are many breeders and aviaries, it just makes sense to find one close to the buyer, so as to eliminate stress on the bird (not to mention the seller, who feels as though these little creatures are her own flesh and blood!)
My birds are all hand fed, abundance weaned, and tame. They are out of their cages more than in. They are provided with cages larger than is recommended for their size, receive pellets, seeds, cooked rice, pasta, cereal, wheat bread, millet, bottled water, vegetables, fruit, nutriberries, my dinner, cuttlebone, mineral blocks, beak conditioners, three kinds of perches, toys, toys, and more toys. The birds and I create most of their toys with FDA approved wood pieces, rope, leather and beads. Most of them enjoy playing (supervised) on a hamster wheel or in a ferret tunnel. The lovebirds bathe in shallow saucers and the tiels receive a mist at least twice a week.
There are excellent web sites for research on nutrition, general health and training of birds. I recommend them all! The do’s and do not’s are constantly changing, and these experts take the time to pass on their updated information in order that all birds receive proper care. Their dedication, commitment, and sharing are appreciated by many.
For questions or comments about my birds or my site, please send an e-mail. I check my messages daily and always respond. Enjoy your visit!
