Baby Hooded Parakeets Baby Hooded Parakeets “Due to my unreasonable superstitious reasons I usually don’t like to post freshly hatched babies until they are stable and at least one week old. This time I couldn’t contain it any longer! For the first time, we have successfully hatched Hooded Parakeets (Psephotus dissimilis). This is a medium-sized Australian parakeet that has always been a personal favorite due to it’s beauty. Hooded Parakeets have been scarce in US captive populations for decades. Breeding has been poor, with most adults dying of old age before they have successfully reared chicks. There also appears to be a high male ratio of offspring, which doesn’t help the population at all. If these babies manage to fledge, there is a small chance that we may have one available if we produce males (NY only as they are federally protected species and require permit for out of state sales). Currently we have two unrelated males that we would be holding back any females for if we are so fortunate. Keep your fingers crossed and we’ll keep you updated on their progress! Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the parents because they are timid and when they have babies isn’t a good time for a photo shoot!” – Daniel Kopulos  See video of an adult Hooded Parakeet. Published on Aug 8, 2014 Published on Aug 12, 2014 Hooded Parakeet Update: It looks like we have three out of five eggs successfully hatched. So far the parents are feeding the babies well as they all have fat, full tiny...

Crimson Bellied Conure Crimson Bellied Conure Our baby crimson bellied conures have gotten so big! They absolutely love playing on their backs! It’s important to note that some birds enjoy being on their backs. Not only can it be fun, but it can also be important to reduce stress during vet checks and grooming appointments. But make sure not to pressure your bird to lay on their back! Forcing them to do it could lead to a whole series of behavior problems. Crimson-bellied Conures are a wonderful smaller and quieter species of conure that is quite rare in aviculture. Crimson Bellied Conure being carefully...

American Yellow Pacific Parrotlet American Yellow Pacific Parrotlet If you want a large parrot personality in a tiny package, a parrotlet might just be the bird for you. This young American yellow Pacific Parrotlet is a handsome and intelligent little lady. Parrotlets remain small, around four inches in length, and can be taught a variety of tricks.   Pacific Parrotlet – Parrotlets are sexually dimorphic, meaning you can visually distinguish the males from females. Males have a distinctive cobalt blue on their rump feathers and blue line of feathers just behind the eye. In females these areas are a dilute blue. In this yellow mutation, instead of cobalt blue, the feathering would appear lime green, however this particular bird is a...
