Rosa my rosy bourke started saying "Pretty Bird" yesterday, 1-22-13. Lovely voice and happened within a couple of days. I'm so proud of her.

The Parakeet Breeders of Excellence Found: Calciboost liquid calcium
CALCIBOOST;
I wanted to be sure my rosy bourke pair were in great
condition to breed and have strong fertile eggs, so I
searched until finding a company that has the calcium
liquid, Calciboost for their water, as cuttlebone
doesn't stay up well in their cage. Calsiboost is a
super saturated liquid calcium/magnesium supplement
with added vitamin D3, for finch, canaries, budgies,
cockatiels, greys and amazonspigeons.
Rosa & Arthir are...
1 yr. olds that spent their lives with someone else and
came from a pet store. Therefore, I'm taking every
precaution for their health.
Invoice came from:
All Bird Products

on how well this product works for strong
fertile eggs. (859) 846-9087

you give your birds.

Most popular & widely kept pet bird
The rosy bourke parakeet, the most widely kept pet bird,
with their gentle, big personality and small size.
Winter Berry Parott Nest Aviary, a small family-owned
in home aviary, breeds Rosy Bourke Parakeets.
Our babies are all handled, cuddled, and socialized,
starting two-three weeks old. Our babies are raised in a
family home setting of husband and wife. The birds rule
the roost. When the babies reach the age of wanting to
explore and walk around they receive play ground time
where we teach them to climb, play with whiffle golf
balls, and many other toys from the birdie toy box. All of
our babies are given quality one on one time with each family
member. This teaches them to be accepting of both men and
women. This socialization program also prevents the babiess
from bonding to any individual caretaker, we reserve that
bonding to the baby's new owners.

Pink! Pink! Pink!
Pink! Pink! Pink!
My female rosy, Rosa is now turning pink!
Rosa did have a rose-Orange belly and now
she's turning pink, especially on her chest,
shoulders, and head. Don't know why but
I prefer the pink color. If it has to do with
diet, daily they get parakeet seed, fruit &
veggie seed, dry egg mixture, and a mixed
fruit & nut treat, all combined. Their fresh
veggie smorgasboard is lettuce, and vegetables.
Always clean water, cuttlebone, and mineral
block. I have ordered their calcium for water,
crushed oyster shells, and Petamine Breeding
Formula, which will be in soon.
I'm wondering if lighting is helping Rosa turn
pink? Their light stays on, above them 16 hrs.

happier. Healthy breeding birds is a must!

Out for cuddling
Took Rosy and Arthur out of their cage this morning
for cuddling and petting. Well, Arthur bit me very hard
and Rosy flew. Found Rosy hiding in our bathtub. Loved
on them and back in cage. They are beautiful but I would
like their offspring to be pink.

Parakeet Breeders of Excellence: Have a Happy Year with your feathered friends
Parakeet Breeders of Excellence: Have a Happy Year with your feathered friends: Have a happy year with your feathered friends! We're prepared for the feathered years ahead, if Mindy will stop being so bossy!
The many colors of parakeets and budgies
Tha many colors of parakeets and budgies...
How did so many color mutations develop from a simple green bird?
Mindy is all white with a tiny blask dot on her beak.
Rissa appears to be all white, except for a small lightblue spot on her chest
and some light blue tail feathers.
Chad and Rhett are both dark blue.
I'm now looking at the Rosy Bourkes. I love that pink! Hoping to have some one day!
Well, got the beauties, Rosa & Arthur, one year olds. We're a happy family!
Parakeets from the beginning
Parakeets from the beginning...
Mindy, Rissa, Chad & Rhett...and Rosy Bourke, Rosa & Arthur...
All in the family, our feathered babies are part of the family dynamic.
Mindy was cuddly from the beginning and the first one to jump onto
the fresh vegetable smorgasboard.
Rissa is a bit shyer than Mindy, but still very sweet and tame. First time
I rubbed Mindy's little head and talked softly to her, I put her back in the
cage and the next time I looked in on them, Mindy was hanging upside
down from the top of their cage. Sure made me laugh, didn't expect this
so soon, like day one. A good part of our pleasure will be derived from
observing our little bird's playful antics.
Chad and Rhett, the dark blue boys are extremely quiet but I'm sure they
will come around. We delight in caring for our small flock of parakeets.
From the time we start our day to the minute we retire for the evening,
we make conscious decisions and choices to make comfortable the little
birds that share our home.
Today, we have had our little parakeets for six days. Such a joy!
New kids on the block...Rosy Bourke, Rosa & Arthur, came to live with
us on Thursday, January 3rd. Just beautiful!

Girls...
We are a small, new parakeet aviary with no photos of our birds yet. However, our girls,
Mindy and Rissa are both white, but Rissa has blue in her tail feathers and a spot on her
chest. Beautiful parakeets! Mindy is all white with a tiny black dot on her beak. Very
friendly!
