August 19, 2013 Baby season is over until 2014, but we still have our pets and get emails from previous buyers. It is neat to hear how the babies are doing in their new homes! Band 331 is pictured below on the right, but she has been in her new home for a few months. They just emailed me with the news that "Mercury" is talking. They have shared many pictures of Mercury sharing their salad and of their flight suit escapades.
July 22, 2013
Almost all of our Green Cheek babies are in their new homes.
Band 336 is still here and flying east to a home where
another pamperedpeeps baby lives. This is the 3rd baby this
year that has gone into a home where they previously have
bought a baby from us! One of them, Band 337, went to
a home with a baby from us from 2011.
July 16, 2013 Click here for a new video of Band 336. There is a video down below from last week. This baby was hatched on 5/11/13. I also have gotten some great updates from previous buyers this week.
July 10, 2013 We updated pictures and the baby Crimson Bellieds have grown so much!!!
July 5, 2013 Band 336 will be weaned within a few days! All of these babies are very sweet and love humans. They come to us when we call them! Band 337 gets to go live with a wonderful family who bought a baby from us a year or two ago. They have 5 children and found their other green cheek to be a really good fit!
June 28, 2013 Many of you who watch our site are not from Arizona! Would you believe it was 119 degrees here today? The really amazing thing is that our breeder pairs and wee tiny babies are outside. The babies come inside when they are anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks of age.
There are 4 Yellow Sided Green cheek babies that are getting very close to being weaned. They are all so sweet as you can see in the videos below. I love sitting here at the computer and hearing the beak grinding. When parrots do that, that is a sign of contentment. They are all wearing flight suits to prepare them to be better pets in their new homes. Love giving kisses to all of them!
June 25, 2013 The below baby is reserved by Lori!
June 24 One of the best parts of breeding birds is the people we get to know and the stories they share. If you look at the bottom of this link, in April, we raised a Crimson band 327. Karin sent us an email with gorgeous picture of her baby in a flight suit eating hibiscus flowers. Feeding flowers or live branches to your parrot is a nutritious toy for them. The "live food" greatly enhances their immune system. Click here to read more about feeding flowers and here to read more about branches. We start our babies out wearing the flight suits while they are here, but it takes them months to get used to wearing them. Months that take perseverance on the part of their new owners. I am so proud of Karin and her family to have their Crimson Bellied in his flight suit.
June 22, 2013 There are 4 Yellow Sided Green cheeks being handfed right now. Below is the first one who is ready to go home around the beginning of July.
June 17, 2013 The babies are all getting so big!
June 13, 2013 I had Lisa pull out the camera yesterday so that future families could see their babies, and to show a bit about their food prep. Click here to see the video!

June 2, 2013 The heat is here in Waddell, AZ! The conure pairs still have babies in their nest boxes, but we have brought many of them inside. Teri was so sweet to update me on how Abu is fitting in. I am thrilled with the homes that God provides for our babies!
May 11, 2013 Happy Mother's Day The two babies inside are growing up quickly. The miracle of going from an egg to a flying machine is amazing to watch. We have the 2 babies pictured below inside and are handfeeding them and getting to love on them. In the nest boxes are babies growing up. There are 3 Yellow Sided Green Cheek babies that are unreserved, and 2 Crimson Bellied Conures. These babies are about 7 weeks away from being weaned and ready to go home.
The first Crimson we shipped home to Karin took about 3 days to settle in. I did get this email about band 327. Hi Beth, I just wanted to let you know our little guy is super sweet. His favorite foods are sprouted mung beans and quiona he loves this more then the chick peas. He does not eat much of the mash but some and he also likes the pelleted food If its alittle wet. He will eat veggies but he prefers the fruit he goes nuts for grapes apples etc… So I have to be careful because I think he will be addicted to the fruit. He has not bitten anyone very sweet every once in awhile he will Try to bite my husbands ear. He loves his sleep cage I put a little ferret bed in there with a alittle fleece and he goes under the fleece and Sleeps. He is out a lot he has accepted his flight suit perfectly I found a really fast way to put it on I like having it that way I feel he can be out more during the day. I also got him a shower perch for our kitchen window he loves just sitting there watching the birds at the feeder. Thanks Beth, God Bless Band 328 went to a lady in CA who bought a Green
cheek from me a few years ago. They wanted to know the gender of
their baby and I had to send it to them after she arrived. Here is
their email to me. Thank you. We
guessed right! Now for the name.
April 30 Bands 327 and 328 flew to their new homes on United Airlines yesterday. One thing to be very aware of when your baby comes home is to feed it like we do here. You can change things once you are confident that your baby is eating well and adjusted to his new family, but you will want to read these links. http://pamperedpeeps.com/babycare.htm and http://pamperedpeeps.com/mash.htm I am so thankful for the reports and contacts from our bird families! Thank you Karin and Kristine! Band 329 has a home with a young boy and leaves soon. The 2 younger Crimsons, (band 330 and unbanded) are now living in a cage and out of the brooder. They are in that pre-flying stage where they are cuddly and inquisitive. Here is some video after our breakfast! April 25 Click here to see the babies in our kitchen! April
24, 2013 The first 3 babies
are almost all weaned and 2 more Crimsons are in the brooder
feathering in and being handfed by us. Band 329 is available for
purchase. Band 328 is going to a family that bought a Green Cheek
from me a previous year and Band 327 is flying to MN. The babies are
all still flighted and I feel this is important. We do give them a
"baby clip" before they go to their new homes. Here is Band 328
stretching the wings. April 10, 2013 I just realized I have not shared our newest baby miniature horse with you all. Here he is loving on one our labs. This lab is a 5th generation female of our bloodlines! April 9, 2013 Click here to see the morning feeding. This group of babies is friendly and curious as you can see. They are all feathering in well! Feathers depict the health of a bird. I had an interesting email from a buyer last year who bought a Crimson from me and a Crimson from another breeder. The baby from the other breeder had terrible feather condition and color. Click here to see pictures of this. I think our mash must really help the health of our babies. Make sure you read up on our mash, sprouting and feeding of fresh flowers and branches. April 2, 2013 We have had a new baby horse born at our ranch! So excited. Here he is and here are the 3 babies we are now feeding! For those of you desperately waiting for a Crimson Bellied, Becky had to cancel out on her reservation so that moved everyone up a slot! I am sorry for Becky, but happy for you all! Band 327 wore a flight suit most of the afternoon, and the 2 Yellow sideds are ready to come into a cage tomorrow and leave the brooder behind forever!!!
March 27,2013 We now have 2 Yellow Sided Green Cheeks inside and one Crimson Bellied Conure! The Crimson baby graduated out of the brooder and into a cage today. Last night, we watched a movie and he was snuggled for hours during it! March 25,2013 We are feeding one baby Crimson right now and have more in the nest boxes. These below picture is from March 20th, and baby has feathered in enough already that he can start living in a cage tomorrow. God's creation is amazing. To think that this baby will be flying in 4 weeks is just incredible. We are waiting on the birth of a miniature horse tonight! |
