Ready to go:

-Yellowsided green cheek conures. Some of these are SO bright! They're really striking

-Cinnamon green cheek conure. This bird is a doll. She loves kisses and being held like icecream -wild type/normal. These guys are so sweet and curious!

-vorens black capped. Tiny and sweet! This bird lives up to the hype for the species of being sweet and cuddly. Wants to sit and preen you all day

-olive Indian ringneck. Mostly past the nipping stage. It's never out of aggression, mostly seems to occasionally be taken with an impulsive thought but you can hold lik Screenshot saved and can bribe to do anything with snacks.

All info in Google doc in the comments

PM to inquire! Babies go home at around 12 weeks from hatch date (included in photo)

I've got hand fed (in home, syringe fed and held several hours a day. Exposed to kids and all kinds of other birds, sounds, chaos, you name it) they absolutely do not go home before FULLY weaned and well fledged.

-Voren Black capped conures
-Green cheek (wild-type, cinnamon, yellowsided, pineapple)
-Suncheek conures
-Olive Indian ringneck
-GreenGray (almost the same as olive) Indian Ringneck
- ✨ violet ✨ Indian ringneck

🦜 I am not taking reservations until colors show through, and in some cases sexed. I have one Suncheek DNA'd as female and ready for 🦜

The greengray IRN is for only an experienced ringneck home. She's a lover and follows me everywhere but timid around new people and will lose trust quickly if too many mistakes are made. She was just made that way 🤷 she's my type of bird though, she'll be someone's heart bird.

DM me to get on my message list or ask questions.

The babies are nibbling at some solids :)the babies we raise aren't on a weaning schedule the way most think of weaning schedules. We start introducing foods for them to nibble at pretty early, and eventually they're so enthusiastic about their solid diet they start refusing feedings of formula. Can you guess which was a favorite?
Comment what you think!

1. Banana
2. Sweet potato
3. Papaya

Baby green cheek conures are here! They'll be weaned end of April. Hand fed, extra socialized, and tame! It's looking like cinnamon and pineapple morph

We just got in a shipment of supplies for handraising the first batch of parrot babies this year! Guess what species we have coming...
If you share and comment we'll put you in a drawing for a random person who guessed correctly to receive treats for whatever species of pet (doesn't have to be a parrot!) you have at home! Parrot treats will be Nutri-berries! (You don't have to be local to Memphis!)

You've undoubtedly heard about this cold snap and winter storm watch. Keep your critters comfortable (and alive!)



IMG text:

Keeping your furry and scaly friends comfortable during a polar vortex is no joke. Every animal is different and has unique needs to brave the cold. Here are some tips to keep your pets and livestock safe and happy:

Warm-blooded animals need:

More food to keep their internal engines chugging.
Water that isn't frozen, and maybe heated up for extra coziness.
Straw is a solid choice (avoid blankets and hay which can freeze and get soggy) if your pet is outside.
Cats and most dogs should be brought indoors, since they're not cut out for the cold.
Hay is a must-have for ruminants like horses, donkeys, cows, and goats, it keeps their bellies warm, and they're not as likely to get sick (Straw can work for goats and donkeys although it's best to check with a vet.) Make sure they have water available, as constipation, colic, and bloat can be deadly.
Protection from wind and rain is also a must.
Warm-blooded animals include dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, pigs, goats, and birds.

Cold-blooded animals need:

No food, since they can't digest food when they're cold, it can harm them!
They might even fall into a deep sleep (called torpor), which isn't ideal but not necessarily dangerous.
Wrap a travel-sized carrier/habitat or cardboard box with blankets or towels and put a bottle with warm water wrapped in a sock *or* hand warmers wrapped in a sock. Put them in a non-drafty area. Make sure they can get away from the heat if they need to. Use your body heat if necessary and possible (obviously not for fish!).
Cold-blooded animals include lizards, snakes, tortoises, turtles, and fish.
