for hand feeding and socialization. Each baby is closed banded with AACC band, bearing our aviary code "TIKI" and the year of birth, and a number that is assigned to the baby.

We also pride ourselves in allowing our parent birds to rear 1-2 chicks, each year, to fledgling. These parent reared chicks are the breeding stock of the future. Young birds are placed together and allowed to mature into future breeding pairs. We believe these young pairs will be more stable breeders than wild imported stock, as they are calmer and adapted to life with humans.

We hope each parent reared youngster raised for breeding means once less WILD caught bird that needs to be imported. It is our commitment to these species.

We provide a commitment to each new owner and their pets by ensuring that each new baby goes home having had a veterinarian check before leaving the aviary, that each new baby is fully guaranteed not to carry Pacheco's, Polyoma, PBFD or Chlamydia, that each baby has been DNA sexed and a sexing certificate is provided, that each owner is given a comprehensive information package that includes the book "The Guide to the Senegal Parrot and it's Family" OR "The Guide to the Well Behaved Parrot" and a laminated parrot First Aid Guide, that we will be here to answer any questions new owners may have now or in the future. My goal is to never have anyone say "the breeder didn't tell me that!"

If after visiting with us you would like any additional information, please contact us, we would love to hear from you!
