About Our Aviary |
|
| |
|
Our birds are raised in screened environments with stimulating views of
Heritage Oaks on 45 acres, where we also raise Tennessee Walkers and
miniature horses.The breeding cages for Macaws are 10.5 feet long; the
cages for Amazons and African Greys are 6 to 8 feet long; and the cages
for parakeets are 4 feet long unless circumstances require otherwise.
We try to avoid incubator hatching and allow the parents to raise babies for a few weeks. After
they are pulled from the nest for handfeeding, babies are brought to
work daily so that they can receive attention throughout the day and
acclimate to traveling by car. This can make for easy-going birds that
will be less likely to stress in new or noisy environments. Having a
veterinarian raising your bird is also highly beneficial to its
upbringing.
A variety of toys are offered to our birds to teach them how to keep
busy when people aren't around. By allowing the birds to learn to fly
before their first wing clip (which is not a permanent procedure), they
are able to grow in confidence and build vital muscle tone. All of our
birds are weaned on a combination of 3 brands of pellets, fruits,
vegetables, Nutriberries, Avicakes, and some seed...they are NEVER
forced to wean before they are ready. Please feel free to e-mail me if
you have any questions. All of my information is located on the Contact
page. |
