Hey everyone 
Me and Luke have been planning for a while to start up out own breeding business.
There is not many Macaw breeders in my state, and not many good parrot breeders around in general.
We have been doing a good amount of research for months and months, and trying to figure out how much it will cost us to set up a good amount of pairs and what species we would like to have.
Our experience with parrots is really good, and we both have experience hand rearing as well.
I know we can do this, and i wouldn't even try if there was the smallest doubt on our mind about either of us. The work doesn't bother me, cleaning, feeding, and keeping them all happy and as comfortable as possible. Scarlet will still be getting the same amount of attention, and i know we will be able to afford evrything once we start, were not starting till we have enough money.
Which is why we still haven't brought our greenwing, that's about 12000 less to put towards our breeding.
We are planning on starting with very little, maybe a couple airs of Ekkys, and a pair of blue and golds, then eventually getting a few pairs of blue and golds, then a few pairs of greenwings, and then some greys. The breeders around here are not at all up to my standards, i have only ever found one breeder who i would be happy to get a bird from, which is where Scarlet came from, they pride them self's in their birds, there healthy, on perfect diets, all have toys and stimulation in their cages to keep them happy, and their babies are always perfect weight, weaned before they go to their new homes, vet checked, microchiped, healthy, well socialized, perfect feather, and all birds cages and aviaries are spotless. This is what I want to achieve.
Any helpfull tips or ideas would be amazing, i thought you guys would be the best to ask, This is something i would eventually like to start doing full time, so i can put all of my time into the birds.
Anything at all that i will need, anything i need to know, just anything in general lol.
Thanks guys, we will greatly appreciate your help
