Loved for their intelligence and funny, affectionate personality, Jardine’s make a great family companion. They are cuddly without being clingy, totally laid back and capable of happily spending time on their own occupied with their toys.

As is almost common with all the parrots from the African continent, the Jardine’s Parrot is also a fairly good talker. They are not generally noisy parrots, but they do have a loud natural call that is rarely heard.

We have been breeding these delightful parrots for almost twenty years. Because of their popularity in aviculture we do have a waiting list, but please contact us if you’re interested in one of our babies.

Great Billed parrots are one of the rarest of parrot genera. The scientific name is Tanygnathus. We were fortunate to acquire a pair in 2003 that originally were purchased from June Dinger of Florida. Our pair Waldo and June were quite young, but definitely bonded when they came to us. While we were preparing an aviary for them they lived with us in a spare room and are pictured here. Like most Great Bills they are rather stand-offish, a little like the male Eclectus. We have only had three chicks.

Eclectus is a genus of parrots which includes several subspecies, four of which are commonly bred. The unique characteristic of this group of parrots is their dimorphism or the distinct difference between the males and females. These are one of the most popular parrots. Both males and females are good talkers, rather quiet birds who do well in the homes of educated bird people.

Cockatoos Many Parrot experts will tell you that most species of Cockatoos should never have been brought from the wild and asked to share our homes. The numbers of cockatoos in sanctuaries and those waiting for adoptive homes confirms this belief. People are drawn to these beautiful white, fluffy, cuddly birds because of their loving, affectionate nature. Too often these birds become major behavior problems because of their neediness and demand for constant attention. Unwitting owners often reinforce these tendencies, dooming the bird to a multitude of problems.
