Hello everyone! Just wanting to give everyone an update and let you know...

This year, I'll be starting my breeding season a little later (as I'm getting married in December! 🤗 and then heading away for 2 weeks). So, I won't be pairing any birds up until I get back.

This means I won't have any baby budgies available until around January–February. I know, a little sad... but I'm really looking forward to this season, as there are going to be some gorgeous chicks coming available!😍

I will still have adult budgies and some older babies available, as I'm still working my way through sorting.😊

For those of you on the list, I'll be getting to your orders as soon as I can.☺️ Thank you so much for your patience!

On another note, one of the varieties I'm SOOOOO looking forward to seeing is something I've been working on: Double Factor Rainbow Red Violet!

They are going to be absolutely stunning!!
Can't wait!! 🤗

The summer has come now! 🤗☀️

(Aviary tours are now open!🤗)

We had a lovely lady who supports people with different abilities come along with one of her clients. They visited the aviaries, had there questions they wanted to ask (which i love answering😊), they fed the birds and thoroughly enjoyed themselves they told me!😊

The joy on people's faces and being able to create those special memories for others always fills my heart.❤️

Also, a little reminder that I'll be sorting out some more birds this week! I've been a little busy behind the scenes planning a wedding 😄 I can't believe we're only 5 Sundays away! 🫣🤭 Time has absolutely flown! Still trying to balance getting the birds sorted with all the wedding decisions haha. Thankfully, we've tried to keep things simple and budget-friendly.😊 but still fair amount of planning in general😅

Anyway, hopefully you enjoy the budgies being silly budgies and bathing in the greens as they do😂

Hey everyone, sorry for the wait with the birds... ❤️
I was away for 11 days and unfortunately during that time I caught Influenza A (just a really bad flu), which ended up putting me in hospital for a day. I have honestly never been so sick in my life, it was horrible.

I’m feeling a lot better now, but I’m still going to get back to things slowly while I recover. I just don’t want to overdo it and end up making myself sick again.

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding with the orders and the birds. I know many of you are eager to bring your new beautiful birds home, so I really appreciate you being patient with me during this time.😊❤️

I’ll get everything back on track as I’m able to. Thank you again for understanding😊

Hello everyone!!☺️

So, 2 things I want to say!

1) I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who watched me on TV yesterday talking about my Tourette’s and sent me some lovely messages. ☺️💖 It honestly means so much!

If you did miss it, it’s available to watch on the ThreeNow app....its about 29 minutes into the programme.😊

And now for the second thing...

Sooo now that all that is over, it’s back to focusing on my sorting through birds! 😄

I have had so many messages, and Facebook has done a silly update which means I can’t see properly who is waiting for birds and whose orders have already been filled.

So I’m going back to old school... notebook! 😅

So, if you are currently on my waiting list or you want to be added to the waiting list, please message me again. It can literally just be a 👍, or tell me what you were after again, and I’ll write you down on my list.

Everyone on the list gets contacted directly when I have the birds they are after available, so you basically get first picks.😁

Thank you so much if you can do this!
It is going to make my days SO much easier instead of trying to go through 100s of messages trying to work out who is still waiting and who has already got their birds. 😉

So the interview went well! And thankfully my Tourette’s was having a calm day, so I could actually get my words across 🤗☺️

As expected, I had a migraine afterwards as the amount of excitement, nerves and stress was a lot 😄

But updating you all now on how it went....

So the interview was for the show called Paddy Gower Has Issues, and they wanted to interview me about my Tourette’s story. They also wanted to see the birds. The crew was awesome and super understanding, and Karen O’Leary interviewed me! ❤️

It will be live to watch on the 15th of September at 7:30pm on Three (or if you miss it, you can watch it on TVNZ+ afterwards).

Such an awesome opportunity!! 🤗 I really enjoyed it, and I hope it gets the government to realize that Tourette’s does impact some individuals’ everyday lives. It’s not just swearing or making funny noises. ❤️

Well, I’m just making this post while waiting for the news people to turn up… (Yep, I’m gonna be on the news AND so are my birds! 😂🐦🤩)

It’s for the cause of Tourette’s getting recognised as a disability in New Zealand, for those whose Tourette’s genuinely impacts their everyday life❤️

So I’m getting interviewed today, and they also wanted to see my birds! 🐦🥰

Ahhhhh 🙃🤩 I’m excited but also really nervous, as you can imagine! 🫣😂

I honestly can’t believe this is happening! ❤️

I'll let you know more info on it and when its live when i can🤗

Well, it’s a massive sort out day today, as I need to cut down on the Budgies now...

This is a massive job, as lots of people think it’s just looking at them and making a decision.

But it’s not so simple. I have pedigree show budgies that all have identification bands, I’m also a genetics rare budgie breeder, so it’s working through the pedigree breeding records, blood lines, age, and what qualities they have😉...

Try doing that over 300 times 🙈😂🫣 Well, that’s my guess on how many I have currently... As due to my health, I put the sort through on hold till I got better (but, well, that didn’t happen 🙃), so trying to navigate and accept life is different now.

So I have to move on and let go of my old self in that way. I’m not the same person I was 2 years ago (which is a hard thing to come to terms with, as I do try to think, oh, I still can push myself like I used to... but I really can’t😶).

It’s not the end of my dreams💖 and the work I have done and achieved. It’s just downsizing to a manageable level for who I am now.

I still will be breeding budgies, working in genetics and rares and the show birds... just not as intensely as I was before.

Anyway, I didn’t get to do my sort out for 2 seasons (so 2 seasons' worth of baby budgies I have to work out as well). So a big job

So I’m just going to slowly start. Might take me a month, but that’s okay 🙃 I'll see how much I'll get down today😄

So Ollie's New home fell through so hes still looking for a forever home🥺

Please message me if you're interested, in what experience you have had with parrots and
What kind of home could you provide him ?

He Ideally needs to be an inside bird and pet only...not for breeding

Due to his history he need lots of patience from his new owners and understanding about boundaries... he will be abit stand offish due to his past neglect....but once he has bonded with you he is a sweet heart.....if you show him safety, love, care and understanding his boundaries and not threaten him... he is a sweet heart once he bonds with you, he just got shown early on that not all people he can trust😔

He means alot to me so he is not going to just any home.. so please understand I'm wanting the best possible home him so won't make a decision straight away💖
