About

Specializing in blue genetics Eclectus, IRN, quaker, Alexandrine About Our Aviary We are a small, home based aviary dedicated to raising healthy, well socialized companion parrots with an emphasis on excellent care, proper nutrition, responsible breeding, and early socialization. Our babies are raised in our home and handled daily from a young age. They are exposed to the normal activity of a household, including children, dogs, vacuuming, visitors, and everyday household sounds. Our goal is to raise confident, adaptable birds that are prepared to become wonderful family companions. We take pride in knowing the history and genetics of our breeding birds whenever possible and are happy to discuss parentage, genetics, and breeding potential with prospective owners. Weaning & Placement Our babies are not rushed through the weaning process. They are placed when they are developmentally ready and eating appropriately on their own. Buyers will receive information about the bird's current diet and feeding routine so that the transition to a new home can be as smooth as possible. We are happy to answer questions and provide guidance regarding diet, socialization, housing, enrichment, and the transition into the new home. Pickup & Shipping Local pickup is preferred and allows buyers to meet their new bird in person and discuss care and transition before taking the bird home. Shipping is available upon request and will be arranged through a safe, reputable live-animal transportation method when appropriate. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer and will be discussed before purchase. We reserve the right to decline shipping if weather conditions, the bird's age, health, or other circumstances make transportation unsafe. Buyer Expectations We want our babies to go to responsible homes where their long-term physical and emotional needs will be understood and met. Prospective owners should be prepared for the commitment involved in caring for an Eclectus parrot, including proper nutrition, veterinary care, enrichment, social interaction, safe housing, and a lifetime commitment. We are always happy to answer questions before and after purchase. We would much rather help a prospective owner determine whether an Eclectus is the right bird for them than make a placement that isn't a good fit. Our relationship with our customers doesn't end when a bird leaves our home. We are happy to remain a resource throughout the bird's life.
