My deepest apologies to everyone for not updating my page in quite a while. After spending the last month of her life with her, my mother passed away May 28th, 2009 and obviously I have not gotten around to updating my pages.
However, slowly but surely Im getting back into the groove...and we have a whole new bunch of babies to offer...singles and young pairs. So check out my babies for sale page and I promise to update more often! :)
We have new babies!!
We have some beautiful babies being handfed!
We currently have 2 male yellowsides that have not been sold from our last clutch of yellowsides. They have not had alot of handling as they were being weaned during the time I was gone. They are nicely colored, weaned and are ready to go. I have also created an unrelated pair where dad (related to the two other males) is beautiful and nicely red, and mom is more normal looking but comes from the parents who produce my super reds. Dad has a 50/50% at being split to cinnamon. Please inquire if you are interested.
We also have a new clutch from one of our "rainbow pairs" ! Dad is a double split to ys/cinn and mom is pineapple. So we got a normal green cheek, a yellowside (sold), definitely one pineapple male and two more females that are either pineapple or cinnamon.
Another clutch of three are the first generation from a female from my pair that produce the really red babies. The female is yellowsided and dad is cinnamon, so the two boys are normal looking but double split to yellowside and cinnamon, the female is a cinnamon.
We have yet another "rainbow" pair where dad is a yellowside split to cinnamon and mom is pineapple. They are currently sitting on six eggs, with four definitely fertile! They are due to hatch beginning the around the 7th of July.
We are awaiting a new set of babies to start hatching from our original "rainbow pair." Dad is visually normal, split to yellowside and cinnamon. Mom is yellowside. They have so far produced all except for pineapples so far...they are on 5 eggs set to start hatching also around the 7th of July.
Our biggest excitement is that our young pineapple pair that we got last year from Feathered Imps Aviary is on their first clutch of eggs and we know for sure that at least one is fertile (she is still laying them!!!) Stay tuned for more news!!!

Changes are in the works at our Aviary!!!
Hello everyone,
After some careful consideration, I have decided to change my focus in my aviary to specifically the green cheek conures/mutations, the crimson bellieds and the rosifrons. I find I have too many different species going on here. So, as a result please check out my breeders for sale page to see what I have decided to part with.
These would be great additions to aviaries that want a variety of species to breed.
They are all super birds, beautiful feathering and in great health...dna/virus tested! Please email me if you are interested in them.
Here is a whole clutch of yellowsideds from our pair Belina and Kayden! These were taken Feb. 6, 2009
They are male, female, male, female and female. This whole clutch is now sold!
The second one ... her feathers are almost all in...she will have some more red on her when she finally has them all!
This clutch is all sold now!
Our fiery shoulder baby! She now has a new love and they have bonded beautifully!

"Who's that other bird in that shiny thing starring at me???"-Cinnamon female-Jan 3, 09
"AH HA.... Im big enough to see over the edge now!!! Ooh ooh ooh...there's coca-cola over there...wonder if mommy will let me have some?" - Dec. 31, 08 (Rosifron)
"Shhh...let me see if the coast is clear...."
"Okay boys and girls...follow the leader!! The Coke is just around the bend!" (the 4 oldest rosifrons)
This should be an exciting year for us as we have several pairs of conures that should begin to produce for us this year!
These include our triple split male/cinnamon female split for blue, and our normal green cheek with cinnamon female. We will keep you posted!
We have several rare species of conures that we are endevouring to increase the numbers available here in Canada. The same is occuring in the UK. Here is a very good website that further explains this from one breeder in the UK's perspective and a bit on each of these beautiful and minimally numbered species of conures:
http://www.harlequinparrots.co.uk/red-bellied-and-ruppell-parrots.html
**Note...the rose-crowned conures the website refers to are NOT the Rose-fronted (Rosifron) conures we breed, which are still a very rare breed. Rose-crowned conures are becoming more accessible here in canada now, while breeders are still working on the Rose-Fronted Conures (Rosifron)**
Check back often to see how all of our pairs are doing and if you have a particular species you are interested in, please let me know so that I can place you on a waiting list. I have had several requests so far for a few different species so I have begun the lists! :)
Our very first rosifron baby!
It looks like our sun conures may FINALLY be going to nest!
Here is every breeders dream testimonial:
Hi Marianne,
"The vet visit went very well. Luna is a perfectly healthy bird and well adjusted. The Vet said that you really raised a very good and well adjusted bird. She was very impressed.
Yesterday we introduced her to my 3 year old and they hit it off. Right now my son is bit scared of her, but it will pass. We really enjoy having her home with us."
Lenny...Dec. 9, 2008
Luna is a yellowsided female that went home with this family just the day before her visit to the vet! Thanks Lotta family for giving my baby such a wonderful home and for sharing your vets kind words with me!!!
Another wonderful reference!:
"Hi Marianne,
I just wanted to tell you that I truly appreciate all that you did for me. The pair of greencheeks I got from you are just gorgeous!!! The female has an amazing extra amount of red! Both are extremely friendly and in just wonderful condition. I am sooo impressed.
I would also like to thank you for going the extra extra mile for me by picking up the two single greencheeks that I bought from your friends (I know you traveled quite a distance to get them for me) and pairing them together for me as well as picking up the 3rd pair from Angie. That was definitely above and beyond what you needed to do. Thank you for answering my many questions. The greencheeks are doing wonderfully and I am so very pleased with them!
Greencheeks are just wonderful, daring, curious, active, energetic, beautiful and a whole lot of fun packed in too one little bird!!! Other than cockatiels I think that my future lies in breeding these wonderful birds!!!
You will most definitely be getting more of my business in the future!! Thank you so much!!
Sincerely and with Big Hugs,
Deborah"
HERE WE GROW AGAIN!
We are very pleased to announce we have received our female mate for our single crimson male, from Jyoti Modhgill from Vancouver Island! Thanks so much Jyoti...I know of a certain little guy who is now very happy to have a new lady in his life! :)

Here is the last female from the last clutch of pure yellowsideds, which I have kept for future breeding! Isnt she a doll?? She has since been paired up with a beautiful cinnamon male...we look forward to their future babies!!
In this one you can really see some of her red...
For those of you who have followed my website...you will remember that this time last year we welcomed Poppy into the world and paired her up with Tony, a really red male from Angie Michael (Angie's Imps). Well, they laid their first clutch of five eggs, but it was infertile, as to be expected. But that is not a deterrent as the next one is sure to be a good one! We will keep you posted!
If you are looking for young, unrelated pairs, please contact me as I can make a pair for you along with my good friend Angie's babies (from Angie's Imp's...check out her page on my friends link)
Also...Angie's Imps has many different conure babies available for new homes. They are either ready to go now or soon will be! Contact me or visit her web page to see what is available!!!
WE NOW HAVE SEVERAL KINDS OF CONURES...CHECK OUT THEIR PAGES!!
