Dear
Friends & Valued Customers,
This year is our 15th year in business. As always
you, the customer and your animals are our number one concern. We
appreciate your support and we will always do our best to maintain
your trust. We make every effort to supply you with the products
you need in a timely and professional manner.
Aviculture,
particularly avian pediatrics has been a passion for well over
20 years.
Life in rural south Louisiana has always included pets and farm animals.
Animals are a big part of family life here.
Life
“with the birds” began sometime in the mid 1980’s, following the
purchase of a single, hand-fed, lutino cockatiel. That initial purchase of
one lutino cockatiel was the beginning of an interesting journey into the
world of aviculture. At that time there was very little reliable
information available on breeding birds or, hand-feeding their young.
Books on hand-feeding or simple guides or articles were few and mostly
non-existent. The field of avian pediatrics was unheard of. Hand rearing
proved to be a trial and error undertaking filled with mistakes and
heartbreak. Study and practice eventually brought experience and a
hard-earned understanding of avian pediatrics and hand-feeding in general.
Years
of caring for animals, particularly birds has been and still is an
enlightening and rewarding experience. To own and breed animals is a
responsibility not to be taken lightly. This responsibility applies not
only to the animals we keep but involves the ones that are sold as well.
Education is the key to responsible ownership. We as dedicated
aviculturists, bird keepers, and breeders should share our experiences and
knowledge. As well as provide novice and future bird owners with as much
information and guidance as possible.
Because
of my experience in avian pediatrics Cage'N Bird offers a free
consultation and support service. Let us gently guide you through
basic hand-feeding technique, choose nursery equipment or help you
with pediatric problems. We can customize a hand-feeding
program to meet your particular needs.
Your
questions and comments are welcomed. Please call

message, we will get back to you or e-mail,

We breed or have bred and hand-fed many avian species. These
species range from tiny finches, budgies, and cockatiels to the larger
Amazons, Grays, Cockatoos, and Macaws. We are downsizing our aviary but we
occasionally make our precious babies and sometimes breeders available to our mail order
customers. A bird price list is usually included with our catalog, on this
web page or you may call or e-mail for current prices.
We hope you like our new Web page &
Catalog. This fact filled web page includes published articles concerning
avian management hand-feeding and particularly avian pediatrics; links to
Hand-FeedingHELP, an email list where I and other
hand-feeders discuss hand-feeding and avian pediatrics; a web catalog of our most called for products and a “Birds
for Sale” page. Please enjoy our brand new web page and be sure to
request our new information filled Cage’N Bird catalog.
