Our other hobby is our parrot collection. We own pairs of Green Wings, Blue and Golds and African Greys. All breeding stock are wild caught adults and any babies we breed are hand reared and are silly tame. Parrots only breed at certain times of year so babies are only available occasionally.

Above; a Pair of large Green Wing Macaws

(Ara Chloroptera) Indiginous to large sections of S. America, from Panama in the north to Paraguay and norther Argentina in the south. Also northwest Columbia east of the Andes to Guiana and Venezuela. They live mainly in the tropical forests in the lowlands and foothills below 3000 feet. Green wing macaws usually lay two to three eggs which the females incubates by herself for 27 days.

Baby macaws at approx 3/4 weeks of age. At this age chicks are fed a specially prepared handrearing formula several times a day and when not being fed are kept in a brooder which keeps them at constant temp/humidity

Even at 3 and 4 weeks of age macaw babies love to flap their wing stumps! While older birds, below, love to be tickled.

Below are two fully feathered hand reared, cuddly tame babies. Hand reared babies make wonderful pets which talk back to their owners.
