One dna male albino cockatiel hatched between 3/2 - 3/7/2025

This guy is a total sweetheart….

Silly me was holding it for someone and she kept changing dates of when she was going to pick up and finally decided to tell me today that she was going to have to pass…

THIS is why I typically require a deposit when holding a bird for someone and was trying to be nice and held him without requiring one as she was going to pick up within a couple days to begin with…

I will post an updated pic of this guy when I get home, like I said he is a total sweetheart and to NO fault of his own is now available again…
He will make someone a wonderful pet/friend!!!

Was pretty good day at the Illini Bird Fair in Springfield today…

What is left….
I still have 4 of my green cheek pairs that are for discussion, 2 female green cheeks, one pineapple and one normal. All of these hatched in 2021

I also have a very beautiful female pearl cockatiel. She was hatched in November and will need some hand work as she has gotten flighty and started biting some. She is not mean, just hasn’t been worked with enough recently (I have reduced her drastically because of this as I want her to get the best home with someone that will show her the love she deserves).
Also available are 2 sun conures. My dna female was hatched 1/27/2025 while my dna male was hatched 1/30/2025. These literally are the sweetest babies I have ever had…

Coming soon….
Albino cockatiel babies, depending on dna I will have 1-2 available in about 2-3 weeks.
Pineapple green cheek conure babies, currently taking deposits, I have 3 left, will be available in 3-4 weeks.
One blue crossover Quaker, will be available in 2-3 weeks.

Send us a message…
These babies are gorgeous and looking for new perches!!!

Will be doing a photo shoot some time this week!!!

Update:
I am going to try everything possible to be at the Springfield Bird Fair, however, I broke my ankle yesterday morning so will be needing help to load and unload birds…
I will update everyone later as to whether I am able to make the fair or not..

Thank you!!!

We will be at the Springfield IL Bird Fair Next Sunday, May 4 at the Route 66 Hotel & Conference Center…

Babies will include cockatiels, sun conures…
Will also be taking reservations on pineapple green cheeks which I will probably have with me hand feeding…

Will also have some adult green cheeks individual and pairs…

We will be cancelling our trim clinics as someone recently broke into our bird shed and for the safety of our birds we feel it is imperative to not bring strangers in anymore…
It is not worth the risk…
We have replaced door locks, as we are having professional security system installed to ensure the safety of not only our home, but mainly our pets….
