BIRDS FOR SALE NAIL & Beak TRIMMING Nail clipping of parrots is simple, but can be quite a daunting task for an owner. Under normal circumstances, your bird generally won't require much more than light trim to remove the fine point. Overgrown nails that don't get worn down on their natural perches and pumice perches may need a little extra taken off to ensure the nail quick isn't extending too far into the length of the nail, and with regular We are able to clip your birds' nails Cost: $5 each bird https://birdtricksstore.com/blogs/birdtricks-blog/do-you-file-or-clip-your-bird-s-nails?srsltid=AfmBOorQpaXaKSks-i1i92sxKbiqqRardtg6QySlEwSv2trOSoVXkbI5 https://www.unusualpetvets.com.au/services/nail-clipping/ https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/beak-and-nail-care-in-birds

green-cheeked CONURE: SPECIES PROFILE The humble green-cheek is a very popular pet bird, for good reason. We might be a little biased, but we think they are so pretty darn spectacular! The size of a cockatiel with the personality of a macaw and full of mischief and crazy antics. They are highly social, generally quiet, great with children and brilliant fliers. They are very fast learners, and can even learn to say a few words and tricks. Although they are not overly noisy, their infrequent alert calls can pose problems to people living in apartment complexes. They are more chatty than screechy. If you want a tiny shoulder companion who is always up for snuggles, a conure might just be the right pet for you! COMMON NAMES Green-cheeked conure, green-cheeked parakeet, green-cheeked parrot SCIENTIFIC NAME Pyrrhura molinae 10 inches (26cm) and between 60 and 80 grams aDULT SIZE LIFE EXPECTANCY With adequate diet, care, health, stimulation and love, your green-cheeked conure can live up to 25-30 years. However, most live only 10 years, due to owner neglect. This is why it is imperative to learn and grow our knowledge about avian care. ORIGIN AND HISTORY The Green-Cheeked Conure is native to South America, living in the forests of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. In the wild, they tend to live in large flocks of 10-20 birds. Colours and markings Green-cheeked conures are monomorphic, meaning both sexes have identical colouring. They naturally occur as 'green/natural' and 'yellowsided' in the wild, but there are a multitude of new colours that have been developed in captivity. They are characterised by their vivid colours: red tails, green and blue wing feathers, black head plumage and bare white rings around their eyes. Some colours that are bred in captivity are: pallid (cinnamon), pineapple, opaline (yellowsided), parblue (or more commonly referred to as turquoise), turquoise yellowsided, turquoise cinnamon, turquoise pineapple, and even pied, violet (single and double factor) and dilute. To learn more about the different colour mutations, read here . housing requirements Conures, by nature, are very inquisitive, playful parrots. They need to have adequate room to play, forage, fly/flap and explore their surroundings. For birds, this is usually a cage or enclosure, which becomes your bird's "safe place". Their cage should provide sufficient room to freely spread both wings. Choose the largest cage you can afford and that will fit well in your space. A cage recommended to house a green-cheeked conure should be at the very least 60x60x60cm, but recommended 80x90x55cm with between 15-19mm wide bar spacing. A cage with a playtops and doors with locking mechanisms are an advantage. Select natural branches to use as perches, as these provide different thicknesses, textures and enrichment to promote foot health. Conures love to chew and should be given ample toys for the sole purpose of destroying and keeping them occupied. We purchase all our toys from Unique Beaks Handmade Bird Toys which are made with bird-safe natural dyes, stainless steel, plastic, wood and accessories. You can find them on Facebook here. Items such as pony beads, paddlepop sticks, paper, untreated pine, paper straws, wax-free cupcake liners, and finger traps make great toys for inquisitive beaks to shred. Some metals, such as galvanised steel, lead, and zinc can cause metal poisoning, so it is best to use stainless steel wherever possible. Feeding your conure a balanced, nutritionally dense, varied diet is imperative to maintaining healthy physical and mental wellbeing. This should consist of a base diet of formulated pellets, low-fat seeds, sprouted seed, vegetables and a small amount of fruit. For more details on diet and nutrition for your parrot, read about it here. diet and nutrition common health problems Conures are known to be susceptible to feather plucking. This could have medical causes, or it could be contributed by boredom, or lack of mental stimulation (handling, variation in routine, not enough/any toys). Annual (or more often if required) checkups are highly advised to ensure your parrot is in best health, as diagnosis and treatment of any disease or illness can be given earlier rather than later. Diseases known to affect conures include: Proventricular Dilatation Disease (PDD: An incurable viral disease. Symptoms: regurgitation, crop impaction, poor appetite, weight loss, weakness, muscle wastage), Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease. (PBFD: An incurable, contagious viral disease which attacks feather follicles, beak and claw tissue. Symptoms: damaged and deformed feathers, claws and beak, cracking and peeling of the outer layers of the claws and beak, lethargy, vomiting/diarrhoea) Beak malocclusion (Misaligned beak ie. scissor beak. Can be caused by beak injury/trauma. Symptoms: beak not lining up properly when closed) Aspergillosis (A sickness from exposure to mould spores. Symptoms: severe difficulty breathing, decreased/loss of appetite, frequent drinking and urination, cyanosis (a bluish coloration of mucous membranes and/or skin), sudden death) Here are some avian vets in South East Queensland whom we have good dealings with and feel confident enough to recommend.

BIRDS FOR SALE freight information We are excited to be able to offer freight within QLD or interstate to our clients. It is still just as important to us to match a baby's emerging personality with the type of family and environment they will be living with once they leave us. We also freight breeding pairs for breeders. We understand it can be a nerve-wracking decision to fly your new companion interstate for you, especially if you've never experienced it before. It is normal to worry about how the noise, smells and even fumes may affect your bird, and whether the stress would pose a negative effect either short or long term for them. In our experience, they generally are pretty happy to get out at the other end, have a drink of water and meet their new humans. In the case of hand reared pets, some will look for physical interaction and be off exploring straight away, and others may want to have a big sleep first. It is important to read their body language and not to overwhelm them in their new environment. The process of getting your new family member freighted to you is quite simple: we do all the work for you! HOW WE BOOK FOR AIR FREIGHT 1. Let us know which airport is closest to you, which day works best and a preferred time. (Please note: Green cheeked conures and quakers are prohibited in WA, and cannot be freighted. Tasmania will need a movement application.) 2. We ring the airline and request a quote. We will only send by air cargo as it is the most reliable, fastest and least amount of stress on the birds, especially when compared to road freight. Currently, our preferred freight service is with Virgin Australia Cargo, however we can book with Qantas to those airports that don't have Virgin Australia access like regional and rural airports. 3. We come back to you with a price*. Unfortunately flight prices haven't been immune to increases this year, and have jumped significantly for certain airports. We strive to keep our price affordable for you, while considering the flight cost plus airline approved freight box and small allowance for tolls and fuel. We do end up absorbing some of the cost to make sure it is as economical as possible. *Prices subject to change, please message us to confirm. Destination One Bird Two Birds To Adelaide $195 $215 To Mackay $180 $200 To Melbourne $195 $215 To Rockhampton $180 $200 To Sydney $180 $200 4. Once we confirm the price with you and get the all clear, we require payment in full. We will send through our bank details, and once it has cleared into our account, you will be sent through your receipt for proof of payment. 5. Booking the flight: We need your full name, email address and phone number, as you will need to show your Driver's Licence or ID card in order to pick up your bird at the cargo agent. 6. Once the flight is booked and paid for from our end, we will send you the details of your flight, including the Airway Bill Number, flight code, date, departure and arrival time, and pick up address. 7. On the day of your flight, we will be sure to send you plenty of photos of your bird/s, before they are placed into the freight box. The boxes are airline approved, strong plywood construction with sliding door at the back secured shut with screws to prevent risk of escape. It also has small, grated windows in the front and a perch on the inner base to make sure they have grip and cannot slide about and hurt themselves. We send pairs in a box with separate compartments to ensure their safety in a stressful environment, even if they are a bonded or breeding pair. Inside the boxes we place some of their regular pellets and seed, and a large piece of apple for hydration as water dishes are not permitted. Don't be alarmed if you notice they haven't eaten as much as expected, the new sights, sounds and going on an aircraft would be quite a scary experience and likely not to feel like eating very much in transit. You may also like to track the flight via live radar on Flight Stats or Flight Radar 24 using your flight number (eg: VA1396). This will keep you updated as to any delays in arrival time and maybe ease a little of the anxiety that comes from the long awaited trip. 8. We take the journey from our home to the Brisbane airport to arrive two hours before the flight is due to leave, which is just over an hour's drive. The crate is then lodged at the cargo depot, and will be sent to the plane when they are ready to load. We will let you know when they have been dropped off. 9. When the flight arrives at your airport, it is normally about 20-30 minutes before they are ready to be collected at the depot. Please have your photo identification ready for them to verify who is picking them up. As a matter of courtesy, please also send us a quick message to confirm you have them safely in your possession. 10. When you are back home, be sure to never force them out of the crate. Majority of the time, they will happily fly out, whether into your home or into their new aviary. For young handreared birds, make sure you are in a smaller space and lift the door up and off. Talk softly to them, and if they are hesitant to come out, just be patient and wait; they will come out in their own time. Have water ready to offer them after their journey, as it may have been upwards of 5-6 hours since they last had access. Take it slow, and do not rush up on them; offer a slow moving hand and watch their body language, change your actions if necessary. For aviary birds, place the crate inside their cage or aviary if possible, and lift the door up and off. Do not force them out of the crate, shake or bang the sides. Allow them time to get their bearings and assess their new surroundings as being safe; they will come out when they are ready, there's no rush. Make sure they have water and food available to them straight away. For majority of shipments, things go completely smoothly and the birds are not affected and keep a close eye on the flight times to let you know if there are any expected delays. We maintain that air freight is the only adequate way of transporting our premium quality birds with minimal risk. There are many reasons that we do not risk road transport of companion parrots, firstly it is a significantly longer journey in which we have no control over how the birds are stored, handled, fed or watered. A trip that would take 2 hours by air would take 3 or 4 days, even longer if heading to one of the southern states. In the early days, we have sent by road as per our customer's wishes, but against our better judgement and against the plethora of negative reviews and experiences shared online and by people we know. Thankfully the experience did not end in death, injury or sickness, but our birds were not fed or watered, their cage was filled with chicken feathers and dirt, the crate that was provided was rusted and for a service that took much longer yet the same price of a flight, it was not worth the risk. We vowed that we will only send by air from here on out. Secondly, it is a much greater risk to biosecurity, which we take very seriously. Yes, birds may be air freighted along side dogs, cats and other animals, but road transport is primarily used for livestock such as chickens, ducks, even goats. These animals are much more likely to pass on disease and parasites to your new bird, and it is our responsibility to make sure your bird gets to you just as healthy and happy as it was when it was here. By air travel, your parrot has a much lower exposure time to any potential illnesses, and is in a more enclosed crate compared to an open cage. They also would feel more secure in a darker, smaller crate for a short amount of time rather than a cage for many days surrounded by other animals. The babies we raise from the time they open their eyes are just as special to us as they are to you, and it is our duty of care to ensure you receive not only what you paid for, but your bird deserves the continued health and utmost care as they leave our home and join yours. That is our promise to you.

quaker: SPECIES PROFILE Quakers, or monk parrots, make brilliant companion pets due to their affectionate, energetic and comical personalities. When it comes to talking ability in a small parrot, they almost outrival larger birds with their clarity and mimicry ability. They are such social creatures which bond readily to a single person or family unit. They are not particularly loud, but do have an alarm call as all parrots do which is something to be mindful of if you live in close proximity housing. COMMON NAMES Quaker parrot, Monk parrot, Grey-breasted parakeet SCIENTIFIC NAME Myiopsitta monachus aDULT SIZE 12 inches (30.5cm) and between 95-120 grams LIFE EXPECTANCY With adequate diet, care, health, stimulation and love, your quaker can live up to 20-30 years, or even beyond. However, most live only 10 years, due to owner neglect. This is why it is imperative to learn and grow our knowledge about avian care. ORIGIN AND HISTORY The Quaker Parrot is native to Argentina, Bolivia and surrounding countries in South America. In the wild, they tend to live in very large flocks, and there are many feral populations in urban areas, such as North America and Europe. Temperament Quakers are generally very playful, vivacious and social, with their distinctive bobbing behaviour and 'quaking' sounds. They love to be in the company of fellow birds and humans, are highly intelligent and very loyal. Their talkative nature makes these parrots a popular favourite among bird keepers. They are also known for their cage territorialism, which if seen as a natural behaviour, rather than a problem behaviour, this can be easily negated with training necessary for any companion parrot. Colours and markings Quakers are monomorphic, meaning both sexes have identical colouring. They naturally occur as green in the wild, but there are a multitude of new colours that have been developed in captivity. They are characterised by their vivid colours: vibrant greens, blues, yellow, white and even grey. Some colours that are bred in captivity are: blue, lutino, albino, cobalt, mauve, dark green, olive, blue pallid, green pallid, cobalt pallid, mauve pallid, dark green pallid, olive pallid, as well as the same in opaline and parblue.

TESTIMONIALS Great set up, friendly birds, and beautiful colours. Must recommend if looking for hand raised birds to join your flock! Aaron - February 2026 (Google) Very knowledgeable, friendly and good advice Jeremy - July 2025 (Google) I've bought two birds from Camille. Her birds are always well socialised and both of my girls have gotten on really well with other conures. I went back for a second conure after having such a good experience with the first. I would definitely pick Marantha Averies over other breeders, she really takes the time to ween and tame her birds. Wouldn't buy conures from anyone else. Ellie - March 2025 (Google) Absolutely beautiful birds... colours! Temperament! Lovingly raised in a family.... I just keep going back! Crystal - March 2025 (Google) Camille hand-reared and transported Juniper all the way to Melbourne for me, could not recommend Maranatha Aviaries enough. She is a fantastic and friendly communicator and I felt extremely at ease with the entire process. Juniper is a dream come true, I've never known such a snuggly parrot, she'd sit in my hand all day if she could. Brianna - July 2024 (Google) I first contacted Maranatha Aviaries back in August 2023 and from the first conversation I felt reassured as the level of knowledge was there. They had babies at the end of October and we were so excited and picked two beautiful girls we named Eilee and Kaia, but when they were due to be picked up we would be in NZ I explained that too Camille and she was so amazing about everything and was happy to wait for us to get back before we picked up our girls. We drove out a few times to spend time with them prior to leaving for NZ, Camille shared videos and photos of the girls the whole time and when we arrived home from NZ we collected the girls the next day! Camille goes above and beyond and you can see the love she has for these beautiful birds. We still keep in contact now and our girls are doing absolutely amazing Kimberley - May 2024 (Facebook) I bought a Quaker parrot from Camille a few months ago the process was so simple and the service was fantastic Camille was lovely to communicate with and very knowledgeable. Also has a great selection of bird colours and the living conditions are great and no wing clipping. That was a big deal for me wing clipping can cause a lot of emotional distress and physical issues. And the fact that the birds get the fly around and play most of the time and get different human interaction and basic training is fantastic too highly recommend Maranatha Aviaries Kael - April 2024 (Facebook) Camille was so helpful when I was choosing one of the babies to come and be part of my little flock and Jak Jak has fit in perfectly. He is a cheeky, chatty and affectionate little bird who is always up for an adventure. Camille has also been great with advice well after Jak Jak had settled in at home and I have really valued her communication! Brandi - November 2023 (Facebook) Thank you Camille. The way you hand raise the babies sets us as the future owners up for an amazing member of our family, you have taught us so much and the knowledge you have is outstanding and your patience answering our questions is so reassuring. Our girl Bonnie is everything we wanted, loving, cuddly, sassy, funny and so smart. We have always had birds and Camille has definitely raised the bar, exceeded our expectations and given us the missing piece of the family we had been missing. Our adult kids will be in line soon to get their own! Thanks Camille, we cannot say enough good things about you and Maranatha Averies. Highly recommend! Michelle - 2023 (Google) Received my first quaker, a healthy mauve male. He's very well socialised, very gentle and friendly. Received a lot of support from the breeder, who really cares so much about the birds. A small travel cage, some food and toys were also provided which was much appreciated. Would definitely consider either another quaker or conure from them as a friend for my boy in future. Mei - October 2023 (Facebook) Picked up our baby boy, Cupcake in January. He's very tame, knows how to step up, socialised, loves a cuddle, and was fed good quality food. Camille always kept us updated on Cupcake; sent lots of photos and videos also. Camille is always happy to give us advice and answer our questions (as a new bird owner we have plenty). Her website has many many articles we found very helpful and resources with making our own toys and linking to bird safe materials we can use. Her knowledge depth is outstanding and it's very evident. Maria - March 2023 (Facebook) We are so happy to have our little girl from Maranatha Aviaries, she is super healthy ,tame and friendly, sweetest little thing ever. She has been raised up with great diet and care. Kim - March 2023 (Facebook) I got a baby green cheek Conure from Maranatha Aviaries and omg!!! This little bird is so well adjusted, super friendly, easy to handle and actually wanted to hang out with me from day one. Camille was so lovely to interact with, she showed me around when I came out to meet my baby and was more than happy to answer any of my dumb questions! She has also been amazing since my baby came home, messaging multiple times to check in on how she was settling in and even remembering her name which just shows how much love she puts into these babies and making sure they get the best care ❤ Absolutely phenomenal! Liana - January 2023 (Facebook) I've owned a few birds through the years, but none as well socialised, friendly, and healthy as my current boy! I wouldn't go anywhere else when I'm looking to get another friend. Very helpful and Camille keeps you up to date with how your bird is going along the way. From day one Ríkr preferred to be on my shoulder instead of hiding in his new home, and flies to everyone in the house! Caitlyn - January 2023 (Facebook) I’m so thankful for the incredibly competent and generous way Camille has bred and raised my green cheeked conure Theodore. I stumbled across Maranatha Aviaries on Facebook and am so glad I did! I could not be more delighted and impressed! Theodore is strong and vibrantly healthy, confident, engaged in life and eager to experience and learn new things. He was fully weaned, readily eats a good variety of healthy foods, readily bathes, plays, flies to and interacts easily with all family members and has been allowed to develop exceptional flying skills. So much time, thought, dedication and sheer hard work has been put in to raise this quality bird. Camille also chose a conure for us whose personality suited our family environment and she matched him perfectly. I am thoroughly impressed and would recommend to anyone considering Maranatha Aviaries to feel completely confident in Camille’s expertise and thorough dedication to her birds. Also, I live interstate and the freighting process was easily managed. Camille organised everything and Theodore handled the travel extremely well. I’m a 100% happy customer ! We love him! Thank you Camille! Deborah - January 2023 (Facebook) I got a baby green cheek Conure from Maranatha Aviaries and omg!!!

Liana - January 2023 (Facebook) We highly recommend Marantha Aviaries for beautiful hand raised and breeding GC conures! We now own 4 of her absolutely stunning birds! Camille is an amazing breeder who obviously loves her birds and is committed to raising top quality birds for pets or breeding. The colours are phenomenal. Her knowledge and communication is outstanding and she really goes above and beyond! 😁 Jennifer - December 2022 (Facebook) Would very highly recommend Maranatha Aviaries after purchasing our sweet little Cherry, her personality is wonderful, kind, happy, snuggly little thing and her colours are amazing. We researched for a long time and we just knew Camille would have the bird for us. I don’t think I could go elsewhere for a conure after our wonderful experience with Camille at Maranatha Aviaries. Highly recommend 🍒 Kymberley - October 2022 (Facebook) I've just had a new little addition to the family in the form of my playful little conure, Melon. I must say that I'm beyond impressed with the quality of the bird, and how responsive to training/learning he is at such a young age (11 weeks). The effort and care given to him while being hand-reared is very obvious and I'm very thankful to have chosen Maranatha Aviaries for not only incredibly affordable, exotic conures, but for the amazing character and personality these lovely birds have. 100% coming back for another conure as soon as I make a decision as to what one I want! 😊 Joshua - October 2022 (Facebook) I recently bought a breeding pair of conures and I am so happy with my experience at Maranatha Aviaries, not only was the pricing very reasonable Camille was so helpful especially since it was my first time freighting birds so I was a bit nervous as I had no idea what to expect you made it so easy to be able to do and were very helpful and nice to speak with. I’m so impressed with the birds they always come up for kisses through the mesh and started saying what you doing you can tell they have been very looked after at Camille’s and I can’t wait for them to breed and hand raise their babies they love their fruit and veg especially apple and are full of so much personality you are an amazing breeder I would definitely recommend you to anyone I know I look forward to dealing with you in the future 😊 Chicago - August 2022 (Facebook) I highly recommend Maranatha Aviaries to anyone who is looking for a new bird to join their family. Last year My partner and I adopted our beautiful Mako, a SF Violet Turquoise GCC from Maranatha Aviaries and we love him so much. He was very trusting towards us from the start in fact Mako rolled over and fell asleep in our hands the very first night we got him. He has a very big character and can be very funny. He loves to give kisses and cuddles and even though he is bonded to our other bird he is still very affectionate to both me and my boyfriend. He was already introduced to veggies and good quality pellets when I got him and even came with a sample of the food he was on allowing me to comfortably wean him onto my pellets. Camille, the owner of Maranatha Aviaries is a lovey and knowledgeable lady. She is always happy to have a chat with me and answer any questions I might have on my birds. She loves hearing how Mako is going as she cares a lot about the birds she breeds. Don’t hesitate to give her a message I promise you won’t be disappointed. Camille puts her heart into what she does and every bird from Maranatha Aviaries reflex that. Rhiarn - July 2022 (Facebook) We can’t thank Camille at Maranatha Aviaries enough for our feathered baby. Our daughter had her heart set on a blue Quaker and after finding Camille’s website I new we had found it! Her professional approach, extensive knowledge and communication is outstanding. We were specifically searching for a hand raised Quaker & that’s exactly what we have. Our 10yo has her very own best friend that she loves more than anything. From the moment we bought her home she settled in right away. Luna loves all the cuddles she can get and more. She happily sits on the lounge and snuggles right in, loves to smooch and happily talks away with new words all the time. Thank you so much for our Luna! 100% recommend Maranatha Aviaries for your feathered baby Bettina - July 2022 (Facebook) I will be forever grateful for Camille at Maranatha Aviaries for her professional approach, kind heart and amazing handraised birds. I had long given up my search for a Green Cheek Conure but Camille gave me hope back and I have since found my feather baby. He is perfect in every way for me and my family! Camille exposes her birds to everyday noises with a family and due to this my Conure transitioned very nicely into my home with other pets, children and daily noises even after a flight to get here. I could go on forever about how grateful I am because I feel I got my dream bird. He's healthy, beautiful and got spunk!! So thank you from the bottom of my Camille. 100% recommend Maranatha Aviaries. Pam - April 2022 (Facebook) Got to meet the gorgeous baby birds. It's great to have an interactive experience with a prospective pet. Camille is lovely and will answer any questions you have. She clearly raises her birds with lots of love. Bri - March 2022 (Google) Camille is an amazing lady who breeds birds to a high standard of colours and temperament. Our beautiful little girl Zena (Double Factor Violet Opaline Conure) is amazingly affectionate, playful and so sweet to have in our home as a family pet. She has also, based on temperament, bonded with our 1 year old male Green Cheek Conure from day one. Zena came DNA sexed which was terrific as we wanted a girl for our little boy and so many toys were given to us too in a care pack that Camille had prepared for us on pick up. Camille and her family were very welcoming and the children spend so much time with the baby birds which helps their beautiful nature. By picking up Zena directly from Camille, we were able to meet the other baby birds, Zena’s parents and the meticulous aviaries on display with her breeding pairs. There was also a dedicated bird room temperature controlled for all the babies, where Camille works tirelessly tending to the needs of these little angels. A very professional and caring set up. From the time of first contact to purchase a bird, Camille kept me informed of the birds progress, posting photos and sending messages of the babies growing up, feeding and playing. I could not recommend Maranatha Aviaries highly enough for a precious new family bird. Thanks Camille, our little Zena has touched our hearts like no other 💗 Susan - January 2022 (Facebook) I am convinced I brought home an actual angel home last November from Camille at Maranatha Aviaries. My little “Beast Boy” Gar the Conure has been the biggest sweetheart since the day I brought him home, where he fell asleep on my shoulder and hasnt left it since. Having owned conures in the past and sorely missing a companion, I sought out a breeder who specialises in the species. I was ecstatic when I had found Maranatha Aviaries, with their website full of images of the large variety of mutations they had to offer and the large collection of information on how to care for them. The whole process from start to finish was phenomenal. Camille was very responsive, informative and patient with all my questions, and kept me updated the whole way, including plenty of pictures! When it was time to pick my baby up, I got to visit the professionally set up bird room where he and his siblings were being hand-raised by Camille and her family. Spending time with the birds made it very clear that they had been treated and loved with the upmost care. Camille makes sure that the owner is just as much as suitable for the bird as the bird for the owner. To top it off, we left with a care package in hand, including a care booklet and DNA sex certificate, and some goodies to ensure a smooth transition. Maranatha Aviaries holds the passion and professional standard that all aviary breeders should aspire to uphold. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you Marantha Aviaries for my new best friend.💙 Sarah - January 2022 (Facebook) Beautiful birds!! Caroline - May 2021 (Google) I bought my beautiful little pineapple, Rowdy, from Maranatha Aviaries at the end of 2020. Camille was wonderful, very knowledgeable, able to answer all my questions about his breeding and management since hatching. Rowdy had a great start from Camille, early handling and attention from her whole family. He is still a cuddly, lovely, well socialized little bird that I love to pieces! Thanks Camille 💜 Shani - April 2021 (Facebook) We got our Quaker Parrot Scout from Maranatha Aviaires and she is the sweetest bird - she settled in so quickly and has a sweet nature. Camille was so helpful and easy to communicate with - highly recommend 😊 Brooke - March 2021 (Facebook) Apologies Camille for taking so long in uploading our experience with Maranatha Aviaries. Thought waiting a short period to advise on the transition of “Mochi”. So to all you bird lovers we recently (back in October/November 2020) contacted Maranatha Aviaries wishing to add to another conure to keep “Kimchi” company with our potential return to work during this unusual year of WFH. My concern was introducing another bird into the household where relationships were well established with all household members (includes feathered family members). Camille provided excellent advice and experience reassuring my concerns and guided us on some introduction strategies. Service and advise was excellent and accurate. Nice 😃 Mochi and Kimchi have assimilated (ahhh star trek - borg nerd.......) wonderfully and within really just a few hours we felt comfortable that the process would work. We took time and monitored there activities over a few weeks. Both birds live outside the cage and only sleep at night in their cage. They now live happily here on Mount Tamborine sometimes getting into mischief. Thank you Camille for all your advice and excellent service in our purchase of Mochi. I can highly recommended Maranatha Aviaries to any bird lovers. Cheers TW Tony - December 2020 (Facebook) I can't recommend Camille and her feathered babies enough! Have had my new addition, Phoebe; a violet turquoise pineapple GCC for just over a week and she is amazing! Thanks to Camille's brilliant job with hand raising, she has settled into our crazy home with two other birds and two large dogs without any issues and has proven to be extremely confident with all aspects of normal house life. Additionally, Camille has been extremely helpful and accommodating, answering all of my questions and has been very patient with my over excitement. 😂 If you're looking for a new friend to add to your flock, you can't go wrong with Camille and Maranatha Aviaries. Taylor - November 2020 (Facebook) I got my little girl from Maranatha Aviaries and she is exactly what I wanted, plus more. I already had a little boy and Skittles ran the household until she came along. He told my dogs what to do, he told my friends what to do, he told my mum what to do and he even tried being friends with my blue tongue skink, if he succeeded he would have told her what to do too. When I brought Lolly home, she was a little timid at first, but I knew it was love as soon as she saw Skittles. Long story short, we have our lives back and Skittles has a girlfriend, Lolly 💜💙💚💛🧡💗 Jess - November 2020 (Facebook) I was lucky to be able to take home one of Camille's beautiful conures. She did such an amazing job raising Peri, we are absolutely in love. Peri is such a fun little cheeky bird, loves to be a ratbag and stir up the other birds, but he also loves his cuddle time with us. 🥰 Highly recommend Maranatha Aviaries! 💞 Emma - November 2020 (Facebook) I can't recommend Camille and her feathered babies enough!

Not only did I get the most beautiful pineapple/turq/violet bird but also gained a good friend. These birds are handraised not just handfeed (there is a big difference); they are part of the family and are fully integrated. My baby settled immediately when I got her home and she has the most beautiful all be it sometimes sassy personality! I think this shows what a wonderful job Camille does..... And she has violets!!!! That are super gorgeous!!!!! The only recommendation I can say is get on that waiting list so you can get one (or many) of her special babies!!!! Crystal - April 2020 (Facebook) Camille is amazing with all birds and her hand raised conures are so friendly! She takes great pride in ensuring you go home with the right bird for your family. I would highly recommend Maranatha Aviaries if you’re looking for a beautiful conure to join your family! Susanne - January 2020 (Facebook) Got Merlin just before Christmas and couldn't ask for a better, cuter nutcase of a pal 😂 Love my little dinosaur son. Fanks, Camille Kayla - January 2020 (Facebook) Hi bird lovers, picked up our new baby Conure - 'Louie' late Dec' 19. Really pleased with his beautiful playful temperament and Camille was so helpful and a pleasure to deal with, it is lovely to see she takes pride in her breeding and really cares where her babies go. It was so nice to have a tame well adjusted baby Conure as I had to tame my first one and it took a lot of patience and time. Chico is loving her new friend Louie and we love him dearly too such a joy, thank you Camille! 🥰 I highly recommend this breeder. Sharon - January 2020 (Facebook) I got a male conure off Camille 3 days ago and he is a pleasure. Ringo is confident, friendly and affectionate. The perfect parrot pet for a family 🦜💙 Kat - January 2019 (Facebook) My daughters are totally in love with the two new Green Cheeked Conure's we recieved today from Maranatha Aviaries. They are so tame, they even love my dog who adores them. They are so fun to watch and have the most beautiful colours. Thank you so much <3 Stacey - December 2018 (Facebook) Camille and her very well hand-raised babies are so amazing! She brought them right to my door so I could meet them all and so my existing conure girl and I could pick out a friend/sister for her - DNA sexed and brought to my door for an amazingly great price! I fully recommend! We chose the gorgeous little Pineapple girl and named her Poppy - she is so sweet and funny and playful and cheeky! Already in love with her 😍 Thank you so much Camille - you have made another crazy bird lady friend for life! Five Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🤩 Nikki - December 2018 (Facebook) VIEW OUR AVAILABLE BIRDS
