pionus pairs for sale, breeder parrots for sale, pineapple green cheek conure for sale

This pair has been together for the first time this season. They get along wonderfully, laid clutches of 8 eggs, but the eggs were clear. I am not sure why. Due to wanting to downsize, I am selling them. They came from Rick Jordan originally and I am asking $475 for this pair. I have a reduced price on them due to not being proven. They are very bonded. I paid $1200 for them. According to Rick Jordan, they are 3 years old.

Proven Turquoise Yellow Sided Pair of Green Cheeks: (Sale pending)

This pair did produce for me this year. The hen is a Yellow Sided split to Turquoise and the male is Turquoise. All of their babies should be Turquoise or split to Turquoise. The boy babies will also be split to Yellow Sided. The baby they had for me was a Normal split to Turquoise and split to Yellow sided. This pair allowed me to look in the nest box daily to check on baby. I am asking $600 for this pair. According to Rick, they are 3 years old. On June 22, 2008, with the temperature about 113 outside, a wee little baby just hatched!

Proven Pair of Green Cheek Mutations: (Sale was cancelled and they are available as of June 2008)

This pair is proven with the male being a Double Split and the hen being a Pineapple. They were wonderful parents for me this year. This is a young pair, about 3 in age. They produced Pineapples. Normals, Yellow Sideds and Cinnamons this year. $575

Proven Yellow Sided Pair of Green Cheeks:

I am selling one more pair. This pair has given me 2 clutches this year. One clutch had 8 babies and one clutch had 4 babies. They feed the babies until I pick them up usually around day 19. I can pick up 2 babies and leave them with the rest and they have accepted all interference. This pair was put together in September of 2007. Nice pair of Yellow Sideds!

$500

Bonded Blue Headed Pionus Pair:

They have been together for one season and laid a clutch of clear eggs. They laid 6 eggs though! They are dna'd and the male is the most beautiful Blue Head I have ever seen. They were both pet birds and could probably be tamed back down. Perfect feathers and condition. They are about 4=5 years old.

$1200

On the subject of "proven pairs...." "Proven" is something you want to have every breeder define to some extent. I have known some breeders call a pair proven, only to find out later that they lay eggs, hatch them and then eat the babies.

Pairs also often change their behaviors when they change locations. I had 2 pairs that ate their babies and I told the interested breeders about this trait before I sold the pairs. The one pair, Red Bellies, went to man named Ken who just had the pair successfully raise a baby. The other pair, Blue Headed Pionus, went to a man who incubates all of his eggs, so this problem was eliminated.

A fellow breeder here bought a very proven pair of Greys, paid top dollar, bought the cage and nest box, bought the pairs that were on either side of their cages and set them up exactly the same at her home. This pair of Greys have not had another baby and they have been with her for 3 years.

In other words, buying proven or unproven, does not guarantee a situation with birds. These are still creatures that have lots of unpredictabilities around them.

Also be careful about what a breeder means when they say "proven" Ask lots of questions!
