Our aviary setup

We have built all our own aviaries after using all types of conventional aviaries we now

favour the suspended setup for a few reasons including better ventilation in our

hot summers and of course for easier maintenance. Our aviaries are located under a

canopy of gum trees for sun and weather protection and are surrounded by native

plantings for added shelter (as well as a source of food when flowering).

When breeding the majority of our birds are paired according to

desired breeding outcomes and housed in separate cages,

complete with breeding box, natural tree branches as perches

to exercise their feet and of course a few NAT- Natural Aviary Toys!

After breeding season they are moved and rested in large flights.

Our birds are provided with fresh food, clean water and seed

on a daily basis and twice daily when raising young.

Regular worming, lice prevention and vitamin/mineral

supplements are administered and calcium blocks

are available to them at all times.

See 'Birds' section below for details of our birds diets as well as the

type of birds we breed. We have birds available for purchase for

most of the year round, depending on the species.

We have one other family member other than the birds and

our two beautiful daughters, that is our Multinational K9

trained guard dog. He is a beautiful Doberman that constantly

keeps a protective watch over all our family members,

our property and aviaries by having full range of the acreage.

Guests are invited by appointment and enter entirely

at their own risk as he is trained to protect!

Our Birds

We have been breeding and keeping many species of birds from small to large

Australian Parrots to Exotics and everything in between for many years.

Although we still breed a few Conures, Quakers and Eclectus, we have however chosen

only a few species to concentrate on and to develop our breeding lines into some

of the best in the country. Our passion is definitely for the breeding and development

of genetically strong, healthy birds for both breeding and companion pets.

Cockatiels

We are concentrating on the following mutations and have both young and mature birds

in the following mutations in combinations of Pearl, Pied, Lutino, Grey and Cinnamon.

PASTELFACE : WHITEFACE : PASTELSILVER : SPANGLE : OLIVE

Handreared Pets and Breeders are available all year round!!

African Lovebirds

We are currently breeding and developing most colours in 5 of the 9 Lovebird species.

MASKED : FISCHERS : WHITEFACED PEACHFACE : NYASSA : BLACKCHEEKS

Due to an encounter with unscrupulous people prior to installing our security system and

purchasing our police-trained guard dog, our Nyassa and Blackcheeks are NOT kept at

our property. We are still breeding these mutations to increase numbers and quality

however they are now housed at a friends home and are not available for sale yet.

Diet

All our birds are fed on both seed and a fresh food diet all year round. A typical days diet

consists of a top quality seed mix including grey sunflower seed as well as sprouted seed,

and a mixed combination of at least four of the following fresh fruits or vegies:

Apple, celery, silverbeet, endive, carrot, sweet potato, corn, passionfruit, zucchini,

parsley, pear, and occasionally cooked egg yolk or egg and biscuit mix.

Prior to breeding and during breeding all our birds are given vitamin supplements either

sprinkled on their food or in their water supply as well as calcium drops twice a week.

When our birds have chicks in the nest they are also given multigrain bread twice daily.

Cuttlefish/mineral grit and fresh water is available at all times.
