Everyone is up for breeding again, and Happy New Year!

Well Christmas is over, the new year is here and I have just replaced all of the nest boxes with our breeders in anticipation of the Spring Breeding Season! I love this time of year! We have several new pairs of Cockatiels set up, And they are already checking out the new boxes! Our gorgeous Cinnamon Redrump Parakeet hen is spending most of her day in her new box, while her male is looking on with interest. Our Bourke Parakeets are actively working the nest boxes and feeding each other. And all of the different Lovebirds are living up to their name! I already have 3 eggs in the blue Blackmask Lovebird nest, and the parents don't seem inclined to stop there!

I have started providing more fresh foods, and am giving daily baths to mimic breeding season's arrival. All of the birds are getting extra birdy bread and veggies twice a day and they are loving it! I will be sure to keep posting as the season gets into full swing! Cheers! Happy New Year! And may fat pink fuzzy babies bless us all!!!
