WHY BIRD YOUR NEXT
BIRD FROM US
Looking for a bird these days is becoming an increasingly difficult task, when it comes to finding an ethical breeder that aligns with your standards. Between the plethora of scammers with regurgitated, AI-generated nonsense and pictures of birds that don't exist, and backyard breeders who buy in birds from unknown sources to turnover for a quick profit, where can you turn to know you're going to get exactly what you're searching for?
Knowing exactly where and how your next bird is being raised is so important, and that's why it's so rewarding for us to take you "behind the scenes" and watch the magic unfold every season right on our Facebook page. All our birds are bred and handraised on our property from birds we love and cherish as outdoor pets (with exception of a very cheeky budgie called Harry in 2025).

When purchasing our birds we wanted to make the changes we wanted to see in the industry
education, support in order to make the most educated decision for your family
natural curiosity tasting feeling food and part of the handfeeding method is
exploring textures, tastes, colours
absolutely unnecessary to direct crop feed a baby past 1-2 weeks of age, once they are swallowing on their own and ave a feed response
weaning is not a number on a calendar
not rushed
if we feel the bird is not ready emotionally and physically to go home and have a seamless transition, they don't go home\\
that can upset people, as we know that it is so exciting to get your bird home
better in the long run for the BIRD
an extra week or two is not going to have a detrimental effect on any relationship
weaned onto a very varied diet
multiple pellet brands, vegetables, seed, sprouts
babies learn behavioural cues, have group confidence when exposed to new toys, colours, perches, foods
not a feed and put back

rescue or pet shop is tempting option,
all birds raised here are bred here, from birds that I own and love, dote on. Almost every bird has a name. Very occasionally
