Are you thinking of getting a new parrot? Not sure what is involved and what you need? We've got you covered. Is a parrot the right pet for you? Maybe you saw a cute bird at a pet shop, or in a video, and you were wowed by its gorgeous colours and playful demeanor. Or maybe you have met a bird of someone elses' and decided you wanted one of that species, too. However, each bird is an individual, and they often differ in quality from breeder to breeder, so know that you may not get a bird that behaves the same way as another without significant effort and training on your part, if at all. Patience Parrots are often considered 'starter' pets, especially for kids. There are many misconceptions when it comes to correctly managing a parrots' physical and mental health, and it can sometimes lead to impulse purchases without understanding the whole scope of their care. Are you thinking of adding a new feathered member to your family? Take some time to consider the following points to help you make an educated decision: biting Are you able to cope with being bitten? One thing that is common among all parrots is that they all bite. It is unreasonable to assume that you will never get bitten by your parrot, and new owners need to understand that they will at some point get bitten by their bird no matter how tame they are. Oftentimes owners misread the body language and miss subtle clues that indicate that the parrot is feeling threatened, is upset, in pain, or just not liking the situation. We may be intimidated by the size of their beak, and this is relayed to the bird causing fear induced behaviours like biting. Time Do you have enough time to dedicate to your bird every day? Parrots are typically a socially dependant and needy pet, and require several hours per day of interaction outside the cage. This may be simply sitting on your shoulder as you do the meal preparation, fold laundry, working on the computer or vacuuming the floors. To a bird, you are an integral part of their 'flock', and extended separation from you can cause them significant stress and anxiety. Mess Are you a neat freak? Can you deal with a high level of mess? Parrots make quite the mess: they flick their food all over the walls, spill it on the floor, and shred their toys into tiny pieces. They dump food in their water (conures are especially renowned for being "pellet dunkers" and even throw their dishes off the wall of their cage. And then there's the poop; they poop on their perches, your couch, your floor or any conceivable surface. Are you prepared to clean out their cage tray every week? You will also need to scrub down the cage once a month and replace soiled and shredded perches as required. Noise Do you hate noise? It is true that smaller birds make less noise, but that does not mean that they won't make any noise. Parrots are not a pet that is suitable for most people, they do screech and communicate in an audible way. The more parrots you have, the more noise they seem to generate. Your parrot may call for you if you leave the room without them, when they have been left alone for extended times, in the morning and evening (flock calling) and even when they drop a toy that they wanted. Poorly socialised birds will often screech excessively when things don't go their way, out of fear, or when they are trying to get your attention. It is their way of speaking to us and their fellow flock mates, and communicating their needs. parrot's needs It is important to know what you need to provide for your bird for their optimal health, and to be continually improving on that knowledge. FRESH WATER DAILY Are you prepared to change their water bowl every single day? The general rule is, if you wouldn't put it in a cup and give it to your child, it's not good enough for your parrot. This might mean changing it several times a day if they tend to soil their water dish with food or other debris. FRESH FOOD Are you able to provide them fresh food multiple times a week? In the wild, our parrots' ancestors soar the sky and explore vast areas of land each day to find the food they require for the day. This natural behaviour shows us many aspects to how birds feed: they have to find it (flying around), work for it (ripping open seed pods, stripping trees and plants), and they don't eat the same thing every single meal for every day. When we consider what is most commonly supplied to captive parrots, it simply doesn't provide the same variety and stimulation they need. To meet their nutritional needs, it is necessary for us to serve our parrots fresh vegetables, at least every 2-3 days, if not every day. Are you able to fit this into your schedule to cut up food, or add to your budget each week? TOYS Are you prepared to purchase new toys regularly for your bird, or to make them yourself? Shreddable and interactable toys are very important for your birds mental health, especially if they remain caged for long periods during the day. It can be frustrating if your bird is destroying their toys and chewing them to toothpicks, leaving you feeling like you have wasted your money, it couldn't be more the opposite. The more time your parrot spends chewing specifically designated items is less time they could potentially be chewing themselves. A bird that is unfulfilled in its natural desire to chew, shred and destroy, will ultimately try to exhibit that behaviour in its only available avenue: their own body. Feather plucking, or self mutilation, can be a serious behavioural issue and can intrench in habits that are not so easy to correct. MAINTENANCE If you decide to have a non-flighted bird, are you able to trim their wings yourself correctly, or do you have a service available to do this for you? Their nails will also require routine trimming, usually once a month that needs to be accounted for also. Space Where will your bird's cage be kept at your home? Is there space to place it where the birds can be a part of the home, not just a dark corner in the back of the house? Where will you store their food, accessories, spare toys? Will they have two cages, one inside and one outside, and if so what parameters do can you implement to ensure they cannot escape? A bird cage (or two) is not a glamorous Pinterest-ready addition to a home, accompanied by the mess, so if this is something that is particularly important to you, a parrot may not be the right pet for you. The Right Kind Have you researched different species of parrots to narrow down which will suit your social and financial needs? Not all parrots are alike, and they vary widely from species to species. Some are clingy, some are loud, some will bond exclusively to one person. Some are more hormonal than others, some have different dietary needs. Take the time to work out which species' fits best for you. Some people think a bird that is super clingy, crawls on the keyboard while you type, raids your cereal bowl and hangs off your hair is the perfect bird, but to others they prefer a calmer natured parrot. Cost The true purchase price of a parrot is much more expensive than simply the price of the bird itself. Take a second to count the cost of the 'world' that you will create by having them: bird purchase price, plus cage, plus food, plus toys, plus accessories, plus bird stand, plus annual veterinary checkups or appointments should anything go wrong or even pet insurance. The funds required can often stack up into the thousands. Nothing lasts forever; food gets eaten, toys get destroyed, and cages start to flake, rust and deteriorate. These things will need to be replaced in varying intervals. Should your bird become ill and require treatment, where is your nearest veterinarian that specialises in birds? What first aid products need to be on hand for emergencies? Children If you have children in the home, this can add insurmountable challenges to owning a parrot. Often children have difficulty reading bird body language which leads them to be bitten or stalked/chased more often. Kids don't handle well to bites, they react in a way which can then panic the bird, especially when they were most likely bitten out of fear, this will compound the problem and can make them fearful of humans in general. Children move much more quickly and spontaneously than adults, which makes it difficult for the parrot to read and gauge the child. They are also more likely to taunt and tease a parrot, in some kind of intended "play", which sends mixed threat signals to your parrot. It is your responsibility to educate and teach with your children about caring for birds and interacting with them in an appropriate way. Allergies Sometimes people are allergic to dander; the white powdery substance that covers the new feathers. As birds preen themselves it flakes off becoming airborne, triggering allergic or similar reactions to that from cat and dog allergies. Birds that are particularly 'dusty' are cockatiels, cockatoos and African Grey parrots. Allowing your bird to bathe daily will help to curb the amount of dander, but there are some bird species that are considered 'hypoallergenic'. These include: budgerigars, Eclectus parrots and Pionus parrots. Long Term Commitment And saving the best for last, this would have to be the most important question to consider of all: Are you prepared for a long term commitment? Most parrots live upwards of 20 to 30 years, and some even as long as 50 to 70 years. While parrots are the third most common pet owned in the world, they are the most common REHOMED pet. When you choose to add a parrot to your family, you are making the conscious decision to provide for all the needs of that bird for the rest of its natural life, not just until you get sick of them or fail to have time for them anymore. It pains me to see the countless ads on Facebook or Gumtree stating: "Don't have time for these anymore" or "Unwanted Christmas/birthday gift" or "Need gone now". Where is the commitment to these birds that they deserve, what was promised to them when they were purchased? Just like puppies and kittens, parrots tend to go through a "terrible twos" cocktail of hormones and boundary-pushing behaviour which needs to be managed and trained. So many birds are surrendered to rescues and sanctuaries for no fault of their own, or for behaviour that may have been avoided on the part of a careless owner. Consider where you are at in your life stages at this moment and in the coming years. Are you about to go off to university? Move house? Get married? Are you of mature age and will a parrot outlive you? Where are your priorities and how will a parrot fit in to your life should things change? What will happen if you were to fall ill, or even pass away; is there someone that is prepared to care for or even take on your bird? Animals are not a possession to be discarded when it becomes inconvenient. So why own a parrot at all? With all the negatives above, one might wonder what point there is to even owning a bird at all. INTELLIGENCE From the largest macaw down to the smallest budgerigar, we are continually learning how intricately intelligent these creatures can be. They are easy to teach tricks, they can talk/mimic and even learn to navigate simple problem solving activities, all with a brain as minute as a pea. COMPANIONSHIP A parrot naturally lives its life as part of a flock, and when we share our home with them, we become an integral member of that flock with them. They bond to us, creating a beautiful connection of understanding, trust and respect. LESS MAINTENANCE Compared to dogs and cats, birds take up significantly less space. They don't require a large backyard, a weekly bath appointment or daily walk around the block. Instead, a monthly toenail trim and twice weekly spritz with a misting bottle is sufficient, if they don't already bathe in their water dish. On the most part, parrots take care of all their grooming needs. LIFESPAN Most of us have, or will in the future, experienced the deep pain of losing a beloved pet. So why not choose a companion that will live in excess of 20, 30 or even 60 years with you? With adequate care and nutrition, there is no reason why your feathered friend can remain by your side for a large portion of your life.

Get your parrot DNA sexed to determine their gender, helping you make the best decision for your next feathered friend. BIRDS FOR SALE DNA Sexing We are more than happy to assist with taking and sending off a DNA sample for your bird. We find that this can help with choosing the right fit for your bird when purchasing an additional flock member, whether for companion (same sex) or for breeding. Knowing your bird's gender is also very important when it comes to dealing with potential behavioural issues, as well as health symptoms (i.e. egg binding) and appropriate treatments. DNA sexing is possible by analyzing a blood sample in a laboratory to identify the sex chromosomes. This can be done by using either blood (droplets) or from a blood feather (new, growing pin feather). If there is a tail blood feather present, we will remove one, place in a labelled zip-lock bag and send off to the laboratory. This is very quick and minimally painful, and with a tissue applied with pressure for a minute there is very little bleeding (if any). If there isn't a blood feather available, we will wipe the foot with an alcohol wipe, use a sterile collection kit (including sample paper and lancet) and prick the toe to produce a blood droplet. This is collected on a specialised paper and carefully handled to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate results. Cost: $20 each bird Our Process: Sample is collected An order form is filled out, popped in an envelope and posted to the lab Payment is made to the lab Results are received (generally 5-10 business days) Results forwarded to you We can also send you a collection kit in the mail, for you to take the sample yourself, then organise the order on your behalf. Cost for posted sample kit: $3.50 Ready to DNA sex your bird? Click below to request an appointment: GET IN TOUCH

Bird freight process for Maranatha Aviaries Brisbane Bird Breeder 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! Restrictions: Western Australia: No quakers or conures. Bourke's parrots are permitted. Tasmania: No quakers. Bourke's and conures permitted with movement advice through DPIPWE/Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania HOW WE BOOK FOR AIR FREIGHT 1. Let us know which airport is closest to you, which day works best and a preferred time and we will try our best to accommodate. We will usually send earlier in the morning to reduce the risk of cancelled flights and stranded birds. 2. We let our lovely freight agent Kim check what flights are available. 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. 3. We will pass on your phone number and email address, and Kim will give you a call to discuss times and dates. I will also confirm pricing with you if it is not one of the listed airports below. Unfortunately flight prices haven't been immune to increases over the past couple of years, and certain airports have jumped significantly. We strive to keep our price affordable for you; the freight price includes: flight cost airline approved freight box small allowance for tolls and fuel postage to send your care package if required. We do end up absorbing some of the cost to make sure it is as economical as possible. Prices are 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 the total and date is confirmed, we will send you a balance breakdown and you'll be able to make your final payment. Once it has cleared into our account, you will be sent through your receipt for proof of payment. 5. You'll get an email (keep an eye on junk/spam just in case!) from Kim to confirm your pickup time, location and all other details you'll need on the day. 6. 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 they have plenty of food including corn, apple and sprouts to ensure they stay hydrated with moisture and electrolytes. 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. Kim will be tracking the flight to ensure everything is running smoothly, and will update you if there are any delays or concerns. You may also like to track the flight via live radar on Flight Stats or Flight Radar 24 using your flight number (eg: VA1396) to ease a little of the anxiety that comes from the long awaited trip. 7. 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. 8. When the flight arrives at your airport, it is normally about 45-60 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. 9. 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 (like a bedroom or separate living 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 their last drink. 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. Do not rush them. 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. WHY WE WON'T ROAD FREIGHT 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.

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!!! 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) 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

Which is the best bird cage for your parrot? Read how to choose a cage and set it up for your bird. SETTING UP A BIRD CAGE When buying a companion parrot, its easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer choice and variety of cages and enclosures you can find online. A cage is your bird's safe space, so it is important to research well so you can set it up in a way that facilitates them to feel safe and secure. In this article, we are going to touch on the following topics: What kind of cage should I buy? Where should the cage go? What do I need for inside the cage? How to clean the cage Things to avoid inside your bird's cage and environment Picking a cage A bird cage isn't usually the most "Pinterest-worthy" décor item in the home, but it's more important than Nanna's china hutch for your bird. Most bird cages currently available are a powder coated wrought iron/steel, which is quite strong and durable. It is important to avoid metals such as zinc and lead which will poison and potentially kill your bird, however these are much less common in bird cages these days, thankfully. Poor quality galvanised steel and wire can also be dangerous, so it is important to thoroughly wash with soapy water, especially if you are using galvanised wire to construct your own enclosures. Small birds like conures and quakers don't need a massive cage if they are getting frequent, engaged time out of their enclosure. There are two rules of thumb: 1) buy as large as what fits to your space and budget, and 2) wider over taller. Your bird will most often be only using the top half of the cage, so prioritise width over height. The absolute minimum dimensions are 60 x 60 x 60cm, but I highly recommend around 80 x 90 x 55cm or larger, with the bar spacing between 15-19mm apart. This will give them ample space to fly and hop and spread their wings without damaging them or injuring themselves. A cage that is too small will cause the wing and tail feathers to appear shredded when they do not have enough room to turn and flap comfortably. This is often mistaken for self mutilation, but thankfully has a much easier solution to fix the problem. Ideally, your bird should be able to fly between perches and platforms not just climb or walk. Avoid cages that are round, often if the bird doesnt perceive a safe space inside their cage, you might see them hanging in the top corner of their cage , but recommended with between 15-19mm wide bar spacing. When looking at cages in store, make sure the panels are firm and the wire is well attached to the frame, the finish is clean and not flaking off, and the doors are able to close securely to prevent escape. Vertical sliding doors will often need to be fastened with a peg or snap hook (like this one from Bunnings) A cage with a playtop and doors with locking mechanisms are an advantage. It may be tempting to purchase second hand cages and aviaries on Marketplace or Gumtree, however there is a higher risk that you could be introducing disease and illness to your flock. It is not an automatic 'no', but you will need to be very particular about which cages you consider. With any second hand cage, you must sanitise with F10 veterinary disinfectant at a rate of 1:100 (10 ml per 1L water) to kill any bacteria, viruses and pathogens that can harm your birds. Ask yourself these questions: Is it clean? (don't even consider it if the seller has not attempted to clean before advertising) Is it complete? (are all doors functional and able to be secured? does it have the bottom grate - some cages this needs to be in place otherwise they can escape) Is there damage, flaking finish, rust, bent bars that can be escape points? Is it the right dimensions and bar spacing? Key points Ideally 80 x 90 x 55cm, or larger Optimal bar spacing 15-19mm, but not over 22mm Square, not round Made from quality mesh with secure locking mechanisms Swing feeders with stainless steel bowls are super convenient features Access doors may need to be secured with pegs or snap hooks our cage recommendations We have extensively researched the cages currently available and collated this list that we would recommend, based on various dimensions, configurations and price points.
