The turquoise babies are getting very close to weaning and will probably be going home in a couple of weeks. If you are interested in one of these babies I have 1 or 2 babies available.

Baby Meyers Parrot!!

I am so excited to have a baby Meyers this year!! Our last baby from this pair was Rio in 2010. Here is a video of Rio before he went home in 2010....

Our Pet Great Billed Parrots

I thought I would update all of Dixie and Savannah's youtube Fans. Thank you to all of you who have emailed me asking how they are doing.

They are both doing very well, although Savannah has had a rough winter. As she has done for the past two winters she pulled all her feathers from her chest as soon as the weather got cold. She also had an injury to her lower beak in a flying accident. Her lower beak was cracked down the middle in about a 1 inch crack. The accident was caused because of our carelessness, not because of Savannah's flying skills.

We have made several trips to the vet with her this winter for beak trims. Although she still has a cracked beak it does not seem to be sore any longer and she is eating much better now.

I am hoping her plucking will stop very soon. It is SPRING Savannah.....stop plucking and look at those flowers and watch the butterflys and frogs and birdies out your window!! Please!!! :-)

Dixie is doing great!! She is a happy bird and loves dancing and singing and of course spends an awful lot of time in her foraging box chewing paper, wood and other things I throw in there to surprise and entertain her!! She is molting right now and as seen in this video she is a bit hormonal occassionally.....especially when her Daddy is around.

Ginger and Skipper our Pet Caiques

Just a little video of our caiques. They are just about 2 years old now and they have pretty much molted into their adult feathers. We think they are beautiful!!

They are both big caiques weighing 165 for Skipper and 157 for Ginger. Which I find quite amazing as Ginger was just barely 110 grams when she was fully weaned. They are not fat...they just matured into nice sized birds.

They are both fully flighted, although they don't really like to fly much. I try to "force" them to fly each day for exercise. But....it is rather difficult to force a caique to do anything!! LOL I have read that wild caiques don't fly that often during their days in the forrest. They will usually spend their entire day in one tree foraging and playing with their flock members. Wouldn't that be the coolest thing to watch? I would love to sit under a tree full of wild caiques and watch their silly antics for an entire day!! I can bet I would spend alot of time giggling at their silly behaviors!!

I hand raised Ginger and Skipper and kept them for future breeding. I have prepared a large cage for them in my breeding bird room. Although they are still too young to breed, I am preparing myself to let them be a "married couple". I know they will love their new big cage which I have set up with lots of foraging opportunities and plenty of room to hop and skip and summersault around in. My goal is to have them in the bird room by July. But.....today, I am not sure I can see myself setting them "free" to start their married couple life!!! :-) Maybe I could wait one more year??!!

Most caique breeding pairs tend to be very territorial and have been known to attack their care givers and injure them badly. I currently have one pair of WBC and one pair of BHC. My BHC are absolutely prepared to bloody any part of me that gets close enough for them to reach. They will literally kamakaze themselves towards me when I reach into their cage. My WBC Male is also quite eager to get a taste of my blood. However, my female WBC is very sweet and gentle. More so than Ginger and Skipper actually. She will let me turn her on her back and clip her toe nails without even toweling her!! Of course when she has babies she will attack me if I get close enough.

I am actually eager to see how Ginger and Skipper will treat us as they mature and start raising little ones!!
