Babie Birdies 
Wee are no longer breeding pet birds. Wee have done so for the past 15 years and have decided to retire all our breeders. They have made a lot of pretty babies for us over the years and now it is time for them to enjoy the easy life. Wee have kept all our breeder pairs and are spoiling them rotten letting them enjoy retirement to the fullest! Wee have however left all our pictures and information about babie birdies on our site.

Taylor was a 14 week old Grey sold by a pet store to a man who had never handfed a baby bird. At 15 weeks, he had a burn hole in his crop and chest. At 18 weeks he died in the arms of the man who bought him, snuggled under his chin and finally free of pain.
This has got to stop. How many babies have to die before the sale of unweaned babies stops?
The only way this can be stopped is for the buying public to refuse to buy an unweaned baby bird.
Please buy your new companion fully and bountifully weaned from a quality pet store or from a breeder who sells only weaned babies.
Birds require daily care from you. Water dishes must be washed and fresh water given daily, sometimes 3 or 4 times daily if they dunk their food in it or go to the bathroom in their bowl. Fresh seed and pellets must be given daily along with fresh fruits and veggies. Cages must be kept clean for good health. Most of all, birds need love and attention from their owners every day. These are creatures that form strong bonds with us. If neglected, they become depressed, lonely, bored and develop behaviors that you are sure not to like such as screaming and biting. Please take this into consideration when looking to buy a pet bird. Some birds can live up to 30 years or more. You're making a life long commitment to them. They are beautiful creatures with feelings and deserve nothing less that the best care we can give them.
