At Deniseīs Parrot Place, we hand raise all of the baby birds we sell. This in itself is very unique because,
to the
best of my knowledge, most bird or pet stores that deal in birds simply buy birds from various sources
and sell
them for profit. The most common supplier of birds to pet stores, and pet supermarkets, is called a "Bird
Broker."
We do not use bird brokers. We own many of our breeder pairs and enjoy the wonder of successfully
breeding
and raising baby parrots. Some of our breeder pairs are owned by personal friends of mine, who handle
the
breeding process and provide the baby birds to me to finish the hand raising process. Either way, we
raise all our
own birds!
To be sure, this is not a lucrative profession. It is a labor of love, and a very rewarding one at that.
The 2010 Breeding Season is coming to an end for most of the larger species of parrots. Fortunately, our
shop
has a wide variety of weaned, and still hand-feeding babies available for sale. This year has been our best year for producing a large
variety
of parrots in several seasons. Please see "In Our Shop" for the most current list of our birds
available.
Sometimes I cannot keep up with the bird list for my web site, and the sales in our shop, so when in doubt, feel free to
call us
regarding any particular species you are looking for.
COCKATOOS: For 2010 we have two baby Umbrellas, a Goffins, a Rosebreasted, and a Bare Eyed Cockatoo. We
often have Moluccans, Lesser Sulphers, Greater Sulphers, Citrons, and possibly Slenderbills and DuCorps.
If you are interested in Cockatoos, it is best to give us a call and talk about what may be available, as well
as all the effort required to home one of these special birds. They can be VERY demanding of human
attention! Because of this, we often limit our amount of Cockatoos to the number of orders we have at
any given time. These are not birds that should sit in a shop and grow older waiting for adoption.
AFRICAN GREYS: We are well known for our wonderful African Grey babies! This year, both our Congo African Greys and Timneh African Greys have produced many beautiful babies, which we love raising and training to be perfect pets. We love our
greys, and
pride ourselves in loving, nurturing and raising the finest Greys available. See "In Our Shop" for the latest
list of
Congos and Timnehs available.
POICEPHALUS: We are very proud to announce that we have two rare and beautiful
Cape Parrots
(also a member of the Poicephalus family). This is one bird you must see and observe to truly
appreciate. Not only are they very unusual, and rare to the pet bird industry, but they are a wonderful mid-sized African species that is loving, talks, are colorful, and have interesting personalities.
CONURES: We began the 2010 season with quite a few Green Cheek Conure mutations, specifically
Cinnamon Green Cheeks,
Pineapple Green Cheeks, and Yellow Sided Green Cheeks, but they are selling fast. We are still hopeful for Dusky, Blue Crown, Black Capped, and other conure
babies as
the season is drawing to a close. We do take
orders to
reserve babies.
MACAWS: In 2010, we have produced many of our favorite Macaw species, i.e. Greenwings, Blue & Golds,
Military,
Severe, Red-Fronted, Yellow Collared and of course the Hahnīs mini macaws. Because of our limited
space, we
tend to raise just the Macaws that are ordered ahead of the season, however we try to keep Blue & Golds
and
Greenwings available as often as we can. Call us if you are interested in any of the Macaw species. If you place an order, or even tell us what Macaw you are interested in (especially in the Fall), it helps me know how many and which baby Macaws to have available for the next season.
Last year we were unable to produce any Hyacinth babies. We are hopeful for Hyacinths this year, but
cannot
promise, as Mother Nature seems to make that choice for us. We have great references from everyone
who has
ever purchased one of our Hyacinth babies, and recommend that you place an order if you want to
purchase one
of these incredible birds! If you want to see the best Hyacinths available, come visit our shop and see my
pet
Hyacinth, ZOE! She is a great example of the quality of our birds -- and she is rapidly becoming quite a
spoiled
little girl by all the attention she receives at my shop!
PIONUS: For the 2010 Season we have only hatched out one Blue Headed Pionus to date. Normally we
anticipate
having White Capped and Bronze Winged Pionus. Pionus tend to go to nest later in Spring, or early
Summer, so
check back with us as time goes by.
CAIQUES: We had hoped that the 2010 season would bring us White Bellied and Black Headed Caiques, but have no babies in the nursery at this time. We do
still have
some White Bellied Caiques available from the last season, priced at 20% OFF! Placing an order is always
your best
bet to get one of our babies.
ALEXANDRINES: No babies were produced in 2010, but our past Alexandrines have been beautiful and
well loved
by their adoptive parents. Best to place an order for these, though, as they usually only lay one clutch per
year.
HAWKHEADS: We usually take orders for these rare and exceptional birds. We generally have very few
babies
available, so reserving a baby is always advised.
LITTLE GUYS: Our Cockatiels are producing wonderful babies right now. We usually have Lutinos,
Cinnamons,
Pearls & Pieds, and also Whitefaced Cockatiels. Call the shop at any time to see what we are expecting to
hatch,
and when! Also, our Lovebirds and Parrotlets are nesting right now, and some babies are available.
AND MORE BABIES... since our selection is so varied, and our breeding situation changes daily, we
suggest you
give us a call at (206) 232-8115 if you do not see exactly the species you are looking for listed above.
Thanks.
