Welcome!

Fantastic to have an experienced breeder join the forum! We only have a handful participating. I'm sure your knowledge and advice will be very appreciated around here. We would love to see pics of your operations. Are you a hand feeder or letting the parents raise the babies?

thanks to all. what a warm welcome. will post pics soon. just finishing my macaw cages. will also give my input on my setup and why i decided to build my cages the way i did. i prefer a parent reared birds if i want to use them for breeding purposes. especially amazons. they tend to be less aggressive when they are parent reared. but for export purposes they need to be parent reared. in south africa the demand for amazons increased exceptionally! people are pay 2x to 3x more for a normal blue fronted amazon the last few years.
