Winged Wonders Aviary

This exchange was a painful reminder to me that there are plenty of unethical breeders who treat their parrots like money making machines and this person who wrote to us is going to do the same. Kijiji is full of "breeding pair for sale" ads and it breaks my heart 😖
There are also breeders right here in Calgary who use the parrots for a while and when they're not necessary anymore, they sell them. To "switch up the gene pool" or "try for new mutations" or whatever.
I cannot imagine who in their right mind can have a pet for a while and then just sell them as a thing.

We do not have "breeding pairs". We have parrots. They are our family members whether they have babies not. We will NEVER sell any of them.

Whenever you decide to bring a new family member home, PLEASE dig into the breeders you're considering and if they are treating their animals as anything but family, PLEASE DO NOT sponsor them and talk to everyone you know about it too.

Sweet Baby A has joined her forever family and her new cockatiel sister today! 🥹 Fun fact - Baby A's family came to visit her last week together with the cockatiel they already have and their birdie was the one who chose Baby A as their new sibling 😊 It was an amazing experience and magical to see the two girlies interacting. This little birb is going to have an amazing life journey 🥹
