Feathered Rainbows Aviary

02/13/2024

I haven’t posted in a while, sorry about that. The birds have been taking a break and just being pets lately while I finished my Master’s degree. Due to changes post COVID, we are no longer shipping birds. USPS can’t deliver over night to most places anymore, and shipping via Delta Airlines is very cost prohibitive for most people. You are welcome to fly or drive here for pick. We will not have more babies until early spring/summer. We may have a few breeding pairs to place as we assess our numbers and goals going forward.
Thank you!

Warmer weather is nearly upon us! That means shipping time! We will have many Americans available that will be suitable for your Rainbow breeding program! These birds are what we call the "ingredients" needed to breed your own Rainbows! We will also have several lovely rare Mauve Clearwings available! I'll be working on posting photos this weekend...stay tuned!

FAQ: Do you hand feed?

Answer: No we do not. We DO hand tame. Hand feeding is not in the best interests of the bird from a long term health perspective and the fact that it doesn’t give a permanent solution to taming and handling your bird.

Birds are not domesticated the way dogs and cats have been for thousands of years. Even if you hand feed a bird, if you then stop handling the bird on a regular basis, it will revert back to "not tame" and you will have to work with it again regularly to bring that level of training back.

Budgies are extremely easy to "tame", and in my opinion people who want to rely on hand feeding are lazy and unlikely to give their bird the time required to bond with them. They want the easy way out, where the work is done for them. Hand feeding for non medical reasons, only benefits humans. Not the birds.

I know, I know... I haven't posted in a little while. I have been working on my Master's degree and just plain old busy. I do have babies and pairs that will be for sale as the temps cool down some.

We have lots of American budgies available! All are Clearwing or Clearwing Spangle and just weaned to 6 months old.

If you are struggling with understanding how to work with your baby budgie this is an excellent break down of the process. This is extremely easy to do with a hand tame baby if you are consistent and patient. It's not unusual for people to see results quite quickly.
Chasing or grabbing your bird is never advised as they learn to distrust you.

Training a parakeet, or "keet," can be a fun and rewarding pastime, but you should understand from the beginning that success depends a lot on an individual ...

Had the babies out to hand tame and clean nest boxes. 4 clutches right now, all fat and happy. Rainbow, Clearwing, Spangle are expected. Some will be available after we have evaluated what we want to keep back.
