Note: The prices for our birds sometimes vary based on several considerations, so the prices for individual birds may be different than the prices listed above.
You can special order a parent-raised Conure or Bourke's Parakeet for a discount (must be reserved before they are the age that I usually start to hand-feed them).
To reserve birds I need to get a deposit of 10% of the total cost ($10 minimum). Birds can be reserved before they are weaned.
To buy birds:
If you live close enough, we would greatly prefer for you to come to our house.
We also sell at the Michiana Bird Society's Annual Bird Fair put on every March in Mishawalka, IN,
and we usually sell at some of the 4 Wolf Swap Meets per year (in Ligonier, IN).
But if you live far away (in the USA--we'd rather not ship Internationaly)---
We can probably ship birds by Delta Airlines, shipped from South Bend, IN. We haven't actually shipped any yet, but we've researched it a little. This is the proposed plan: You pay the shipping, plus a fee to us if the bird(s) you get total less than $150. Shipping usually costs at least $100 (for an example: it costs $115 to ship a Bourke's Parakeet to California), plus you would need to get the empty carrier back to us, anyway you want (or if you would rather, you can buy it from us for the purchase price).
Before I ship a bird I'll give you a detailed description and--if the computer, camera and everything else cooperates--pictures, so you'll know what you're getting.
This website, usually updated every several weeks, offers general information that is subject to change.
When "I" is mentioned, it refers to Amanda.
Our desire is for you to enjoy for many years the birds you buy from us and we will try to do the best we can on our end to ensure that this happens.
