"Eclectus parrots are gentle, sweet-tempered, undemanding and quiet birds with an excellent voice-tone quality similar to that of an African Grey." Laurella Desborough

Greetings from Manitoba, Canada

We have baby Dusky Pionus looking for their new homes!

Hatched at the end of Nov./2008.

Should be ready for new homes in Feb/March of 2009.

We are a family run hobby aviary specializing in Eclectus Parrots, Pionus Parrots, Timneh Greys, Caiques and Parrotlets. All our birds reside in our smoke-free home. Our birds are closed banded with traceable AACC bands. We provide a hatch certificate and a health guarantee.

My husband, myself and our son, Ryan are the only ones to enter the breeding room. No one else's birds are allowed in our home. We do this to avoid the risk of disease. We intentionally stay at a manageable size so we have the time to give the best care to our pets, breeders and babies. Our breeding stock is all DNA disease tested and clean.

Our baby birds are spoon-fed and abundantly weaned in their own time. They are weaned onto a diet that consists of a large variety of fresh veggies, sprouts, fruit & cooked grains supplemented with pellets. We use nuts or Nutri-berries for training treats.

Baby parrots need gentle handling and the initial socialization by the breeder needs to be followed by proper training and further socialization by their new owners. Our work provides a foundation for the baby parrots to develop into confident yet gentle pets. Please read up on the proper training of baby parrots as poorly trained birds are no fun.

We highly recommend the following books from Avian Publications (they ship within Canada):

Sally Blanchard's books, "The Companion Parrot Handbook" and "The Beak Book" to help with your parrot training. "Good Bird! A Guide to Solving Behavioral Problems in Companion Parrots” by Barbara Heidenreich.

"The Parrot Problem Solver. Finding Solutions to Aggressive Behavior" by Barbara Heidenreich.

Avian Publications - Bird Books and Videos

We allow our baby birds to earn their pilots license before going to their new homes. Flying produces a healthier bird with a stronger heart, more self confidence, better coordination and grace.

Have a look through our web site. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail us and we will get back to you. info@parrotplace.ca

Our Goal

	To raise healthy, abundance weaned and well socialized baby parrots. To breed a limited number of parrot species in order to maximize our knowledge and success with them.
	To operate with a closed aviary concept for the health protection of our breeding pairs and their offspring.
	To sell only weaned baby birds that were bred by us.
	To share our knowledge with those who purchase a baby so they are better able to enjoy their new pet.
	To work hard to establish an excellent reputation for quality birds, honest business dealings and excellent customer service.
