My Birds

My Lovebirds and Parrotlets

A friend in Florida gave me my first two lovebirds in 2006. They turned out to be a male and female now named Azaria(Pied) and Zach(Green). I found out they are clutch mates so they will not be bred again. I found out the hard way that inbreeding should be avoided. They had three clutchs but only one from three clutchs have survived, so they are awaiting new mates.

Lovebirds are such clowns, turning and hanging upside down. They are a lot of fun to watch.

I really liked having the birds so, I acquired more and paired them up for breeding. The color mutations are interesting so I am adding new colors all the time. As I see the babies grow and get feathers I am finding out the splits on these pairs. Some very nice surprises in the splits, Sydney is split to Orange Face and has a dark factor to boot (hard to see because of his df Violet) and Goldie is split to Aqua. I've kept a few of my babies to pair with others that I've bought or bred so watch for them later in the baby section. I have new mates for Zach and Azaria so they will soon be having babies.

Fischer lovebirds, "Joya" a pastel and "Tesoro" normal green. Turns out Joya is a Pastel Green Mask not a Fischer so they will be re-paired with mates from the proper species.

Green Mask hen, "Tiffany". She was very picky about mates but I later found a Cobalt Mask cock "Rodger" to pair with her.

Blue Mask cock "Beau"and a Cobalt Mask hen "Tootsie".

Aqua sf Violet Cock "Skyler"and Lutino/Aqua Hen "Goldie". Goldie died 3/29/09. Skyler will get a new mate later.

>DD Green OF/Edge Dilute Hen "Olivia" and DAqua Pied df Violet/OF Cock "Sydney"

I kept a son of Tootsie and Beau and found a mate for him so they should have babies this summer.

Rusty is a DD Green Pied Edge Dilute/OF and Sage is DD Green Pied OF/Edge Dilute. I can't wait to see the babies they produce this summer!

This pair I just got. The male "Cinnabar" is a cinnamon pallid and the female "Butterscotch" is an aqua-ino. They should have very nice babies.

And finally a pair of Parrotlets, a blue cock "Sky"and a green/blue hen"Esmerelda". I bought them as a proven pair that usually have mostly blue babies. So far I have not had much luck breeding these little parrots, but I'm hoping to eventually have some babies from them.I

I should have some hand fed weaned babies for sale in May 2009. Check my baby page later for hatch dates.
