Hey everyone! I wanted to introduce myself to those who don’t know me yet, and share a little about what’s been going on💖

Sorted through the rares today finally starting to get some numbers up on a few of them 😁
With rares, it’s all about building numbers first so you’ve got enough to work with.

A lot are still young, so I’ll wait until next winter to pair a few up.

Now to sort out the few normals I’m keeping for the rares, and the rest will go into the sale flight to find new homes 😊. I don’t have as many for sale as I usually do, since I’ve been slowly sorting through the birds throughout the year.

Last season didn’t quite go to plan 🙃, but I’m back and ready for the season ahead!

Picked up the big seed order yesterday, and spent today stacking it all, definitely a bit of a workout! 🙃😄
If I’d added just 10 more bags, it would’ve totalled a tonne! 😅

This is one of my biggest order of the year as i gear up for breeding season. With so many to feed. Having fresh, high-quality seed is essential to keeping your birds healthy and strong.

A huge thanks to Topflite for producing such top-quality seed. Their seed are grown right here in New Zealand and aren’t heat-treated, which means they retain their full nutritional value, something supermarket seed completely lacks.

Even if you just have pet birds, please don’t buy supermarket brand seed. Most of it is poor quality, heat-treated, and lacks the nutrients your birds need. While Topflite might be a little more expensive, you're paying for proper nutrition, and your birds are worth it😁

A few sweet winter chicks 🥰

Look at these adorable pastel babies!
A few lucky new homes are counting down the days until they can take their little ones home. For me, the best part of hand-rearing is seeing the joy and smiles when families finally meet their new feathered companions 😊❤️

I knew I'd have to make this post one day… but I didn’t think it would be so soon.

It brings me great sadness to say that Charlie passed away last night.

He was such a joy and brought so much light into our lives. We loved him dearly, even if our time with him was far too short.

Charlie was 91 years old, so sadly, it must have just been his time 😓

I know many people will be upset to hear this news. He had a rough start in life, but he got to spend his final days running around freely in the grass on our farm—where he was safe, loved, and finally happy.

I’ll miss hearing his sweet “Hi Charlie” and “Good morning Charlie” as I arrived each day.
I’ll miss saying “Good night Charlie” and hearing his gentle call in return.
I’ll miss his soft nature, his kind eyes, and the way he made every day feel special.

Charlie, you will be deeply missed.
