HERE'S SOME BIRD FYI:
PLEASE READ, IT'S VERY HELPFUL!
Bird FYI:
*Most are social flock birds (especially American Budgies/Parakeets & Finches)! If you have 1 bird, you become her/his flock IF you spend a lot of time with your baby. If you have 2+ birds, they tend to flock with each other the less time you spend with them. This is why we say quality time is important. They may still be nice and sweet but the less time you spend with them, the more they will flock with each other. They will eventually revert back to their wild nature, I've see it happen too many times to people & even with my own hand tame babies that I decided to keep for breeding. This is from our own experiences & the experiences that some of our customers have had.
*Quality time is very important & it makes your bond with your baby stronger. So if you get 2+ babies & notice after some time that they would rather spend time with each other, split them up for a little bit (separate rooms) & spend quality time with each of them.
*With what we have seen with people who purchase only 1 bird compared to people who purchase 2+ birds, our recommendation is to get 1 bird at a time. Some people, who are purchasing more than 1 bird at a time, are having bonding issues because the birds bond to each other. The people who purchased only 1 bird at a time are doing very well bonding with their new baby. Also, keep in mind that if their wings grow out...they may revert back to their wild nature when they realize they can fly away. We have seen this happen to people too. Flighted birds also have a tendency to fly out windows & doors.
*We do want to point out that we have had people purchase 2 birds from us (at the same time) & with the time put in, they have a pair of wonderful birds who are bonded to each other & their owner/owners. So it can happen. You can have 2 birds at one time with no bonding issues. It just takes dedication & time.
*We will have your baby hand tamed so that you can handle your bird. However, it is up to you to build that bond with your new baby bird. Your bird will be shy & scared of their new surroundings & it is up to you to teach them things & build trust so that you can build a bond that will last. Keep in mind that birds don't stay hand tamed & they don't bond with you if you don't spend time with them daily. Please think about this before you purchase a bird of any kind. Just something we have learned & wanted to pass on to new bird owners. (Yes, we know it's a repeat.)
*Birds do bite. We do not guarantee that our birds don't bite. If a bird bites you, do not put the bird back in the cage or put the bird down. Once a bird realizes that "Hey, I got put down after I bit him/her!" The bird wins. You need to continue to work with your bird instead of giving up on them. Once you give up, it will be harder to tame down the bird again in the future.
*We do not take gender requests on any birds we sell. We are good at telling genders on the budgies; however, it's no guarantee. If you want a specific gender, we take suggestions but WILL NOT guarantee your gender. I have had ones that fit the specific cere match to a specific gender & they end up being the opposite of what we thought.
