Motor City Bird Breeders Expo this Sat!

We are so excited for the upcoming Motor City Expo this Sat, April 2. We hope to see you there with your feathered friends or to just to browse around.

 

Here is some fun news, we recently joined the "Rainbow Feathers Bird Club and Rescue" and attended our first meeting last Sunday, it was a lot of fun. Our cockatoo Maka will join us on the next meeting, he will love it. Rainbow Feathers Bird Club is hosting the Fourteenth Annual Bird Fair on April 30th and I think we'll have a booth! We'll keep you informed.

New tent for the Little Ones

The little guys got a new tent and toy yesterday. They really like it but wouldn't pose for a shot. Every few weeks I totally rearrange their cage so it's new and fun for them.

Makamae is 4 years old and will be five this November 2011. He is growing fast just like a toddler. I received pictures of him from the breeder of his hatching. They are so sweet I thought I'd share them with you.

Attending the Motor City Bird Expo!

I'm sure most of you have heard of the Motor City Bird Breeders Expo. We are so excited to be attending the show on April 2, 2011 for the first time! We are ready to meet new people within the bird industry, and hopefully bring in more business. I have fun plans to decorate our 8' table, I love working trade shows. We will be selling several sizes of pre-packaged cage liners and also handing out business cards, brochures, and maybe some other goodies for your birdies. Hope to see you there!

It's Shower Time

All of our birds love to hang out in the master bathroom with us every morning or night while we get ready, especially when it's shower time. They're usually on different shower schedules depending on their moods but I pretty much know when it's time. Here is Maka after his shower today, he flips out because he's having so much fun. He gets crazy funny.

The little guys were waiting their turn. Casey really wanted a shower, Little Man not so much.

Meet the Little Man Cage Liner family!

We are huge bird lovers ourselves. Our first born white-faced gray cockatiel is named Little Man, although there is speculation as to whether he is a man or not! We also have another cockatiel named Casey, who is the singer of the family, and last 'but always demands first' is our wonderful Umbrella Cockatoo named  Makamae (which means precious and cherished in Hawaiian) but you can call him Maka. He was shipped to us from a Hawaiian bird breeder.

 We have also been feeding the outside birds (a window show for our inside birds) so I guess you could say we take care of more than 100 birds or so, whew! Our visitors include black-capped chickadees, tufted titmouses, mourning doves, a variety of sparrows, blue jays, cardinals, and nuthatches.
