All of our baby birds, including our
Hyacinths, get
lots of interaction with each other and with people. While all babies will have the wings clipped
before going home, all are permitted to fly before being clipped. We strive to raise well socialized birds to
become the companions of a lifetime.
We are currently taking
deposits on baby Hyacinths that will be ready to go home in the April to August
time frame. We never force wean our
babies so we cannot predict exactly when a specific baby will be weaned. Weaning refers to the time when a baby bird
is able to eat on its own, in a quantity sufficient to maintain its weight,
without supplemental feedings by hand. Handfeeding process gives babies a feeling of security,
which we consider crucial to their development into secure adults. Hyacinth macaws are usually 9 months to a
year old before they are weaned.
Please call or e-mail
(birds@featherheads.com) with any questions or to place a deposit.
