Hi everyone, sorry for the tardiness and getting a post out to you this season.
2024 is our 10th year in operation and although we have lots of excitement and lots of plans around all that, somehow we’ve got gotten off to a slow start this year.
We have many birds right now that are transitioning out of our breeding flock due to their age… this is particularly true of our Cockatiel flock who were already well into adulthood when we started with them over 10 years ago. We’ve had a couple of seasons now with them not doing much and have mostly just left them out now to free fly and enjoy their lives. We have just added another five birds to this flock and although they’re a little bit young, they may decide to go later this season or early next season. I do have one female right now on eggs and hope to have a few baby birds soon but not many.
Our Conures are breeding and we currently have four babies in our incubator and although I’ve not posted them yet a number of people have seen them and are interested in adopting.
The pins are just coming through enough to see that there is a turquoise, green cheek and cinnamon turquoise….. sweet babies all seem very healthy and are feeding very well.
We have so many beautiful budgies this year…..please mention them to friends or anyone you may know who is interested in a budgie.
We are also discontinuing our lovebirds as we don’t get many inquiries, and our flock is older, the same as our Cockatiels. I started with lovebirds and Cockatiels around the same time so it’s time to give them all a well-deserved break . Still beautiful busy little birds that we’re hoping to rehome.. some are younger also in this flock.
Once we downsize on a lot of the smaller birds are will be getting some new birds in and we hope to add some new species to our flock later this season as well….. so stay tuned for further info around that.
Our boarding facilities are in full swing and we have added a few more cages to better accommodate everyone however, if you have tentative dates, you might want to book in early especially if it’s between June and August.
We hope these changes will go along way to ensuring our success this year and in coming years and we thank everyone for their patronage along the way.…… 10 years….wow…. Time flies also around here…..it represents a lot of work, joy, happiness, tears, grief, love and patience around all these birds but at the same time we’ve enjoyed every minute of it … we love what we do and thank God every day for the honour of having these birds in our lives.
Lots of photos to come, and we will be updating you on more regular basis now that we’ve gotten the tax season out of the way and a big cleanup accomplished.
Darlene..
