What makes us different from other breeders is that we go the extra mile in hand taming our birds assuring that you will get the best possible bird available. Our staff has over 20 years experience in breeding and training large parrots. We do not sell birds to be show pieces or breeders. We wish for all our parrots to become a loving member of their adopting family. We make sure all our large birds are well socialized with both male and female humans as well as other birds of different sizes and species. In addition to hand feeding our birds we make sure each is allotted a specific amount of play time each day. Each parrot is weaned onto pretty bird gold pellets and gets a daily ration of fruits and vegetables to provide them with the proper nutrition that they require and deserve. Purchasing a parrot is a huge commitment. Some parrots like blue and gold macaws, and congo African greys can live in excess of 70 years with proper care and diet. All to often people jump into ownership head first without knowing what they are getting into. Macaws and CAG's are highly intelligent and have a mental capacity that rivals dogs, cats, and even dolphins. African Greys have been know to recognize colors, shapes and even associate human words with meaning. So it is very important your bird gets the attention and love that they deserve. Parrot Speceis that we offer for sale. We offer a number of different macaw species for sale. Our most common and most recommended would be the traditional Blue and Gold Macaw
