Calling all conure lovers! 🦜 I'm posting this to see who might be interested in something truly unique: adorable little Brown-Throated Conures, currently being hand-reared and ready for their new homes soon. I'm not sure how different they are from Green Cheeks, but for conure enthusiasts, they might be the missing piece in your collection! πŸ’š

Absolutely stunning Handreared Galah Cockatoos and Yellow Thighed Caique to be viewed today. These are a must see if you're looking for a beautiful feathered friend.

🦜 Updated end of May / beginning of June stock list 🦜
✨ Stunning hand-reared Galahs, Caiques, Alexandrines, Ringnecks & more ✨

A few polite reminders please πŸ™

As many of you know, I run my business from home, which is why visits are by appointment only.
When you arrive, please respect that this is my home and wait outside until you’re invited in.

A quick note on prices:
Please don’t be offended if the price isn’t what you hoped for. Prices reflect the bird’s quality, the care and time that has gone into raising them, ongoing business costs, and the support I offer both before and after sale. I don’t price birds to haggle or β€œknock down.” You may have visited before and be a returning customer, but much like Tesco, Aldi or Lidl… the prices still stay the same 😊

I always try to be fair, and if there’s anything I feel you should know about a bird, I’ll always be honest and price accordingly.

Please have a proper read through the list below to see if I have the feathered friend you’ve been looking for β€” I’ve tried to include as much detail as possible 🦜

This time I also have a few adult birds available, so I’ve added details on exactly what to expect with each one.

✨ Hand-reared birds are always very popular and I currently have:

🟑 A stunning Yellow-Thighed Caique male β€” known as the β€œclown of the bird world” 🀑🦜
✨ A handful of cheeky hand-reared budgies & cockatiels
✨ Semi-tame mutation conures needing a little extra time and patience β€” beautiful colours
✨ Blue & Violet Indian Ringnecks β€” always highly requested and absolutely gorgeous πŸ’™πŸ’œ

Plus LOTS of new arrivals this week πŸ‘€πŸ‘‡

I have a bit of a change, couple of lovely pairs off pearly conures. I have the DNA sexing certificates for them. They have white feet and toenails so possibly carrying pied.

Please get in touch for information.

Please remember with this hot weather to be mindful of you're birds. Making sure they have access to food and water but also that they can't escape because they may not necessarily come back!!

So over the last few weeks I have built up a collection of cages that's taking over. I have sorted them all out and made as good as possible. I have a lot of feeders, drinkers, perches and dividers for them.

Hopefully all the info are on the pictures, the budgie nest boxes are brand new and budgie show cages hardly been used.

Vision cages will suit birds like budgies, lovebirds, cockatiels, etc.

The other cages are mainly finch, canary or British bird stock and breeding cages.

Please get in touch if interested πŸ“²
