Welcome to the internet home of my feathered family!

My interest in birds started when I was 8, I got my first parakeet a budgie that was green with a yellow head.  I named him Larry Bird.  He lived until he was 10.  My mother fostered my interests in animals by getting me fish, guinea pigs, dogs etc.  I remember going on vacation and catching lizards, turtles, crayfish and toads, basically anything I could.  

I worked at a pet store in the early 90's called the Pet Centre.  That was where I first saw Lady Gouldian Finches, how beautiful they were.  I was in a small house at the time but I knew I would have to get some when I could house them properly.  I worked at a veterinary clinic soon after that for 8 years and ran across a lady that bred a few and she sold me my first pair.  But they came in so many colors I had to have more.  I went to a bird show soon after that and got into the more expensive mutations.  That was 8 years ago and I still have to say they are my favorite bird.  

After going to different bird shows I realized how much I really loved the birds and slowly acquired Parrotlets, Cockatiels and Lineolated Parakeets.  I started handraising pets for people I knew and soon I started selling a few here and there.  I usually only have one clutch at a time of babies so I can handle them and keep them tame and sweet til they find their new homes.  I ask all new bird parents to keep in touch and email me pictures of my babies, happily in their new home.
