CAGE’N BIRD’S OWN WATER NANNIE

The WATER NANNIE, Intensive Care Brooder, Is Designed Primarily As A Day One Brooder. WN "Jr." or the WN "Original" is an ideal choice for breeders who hatch eggs and feed from day one. Water, a natural heating medium, provides soothing warmth that makes babies more comfortable, less stressed and able to adapt more readily to the artificial environment provided for their well being. Heat radiating from surrounding water emulates the brooding temperature of birds in nature. Because water is the heating medium, higher humidity levels are a plus. Humidity is an important factor in the proper development of nestlings. Strategically placed weep holes encourage humidity to enter the brooding container. Moist heat is more desirable and healthier then unnatural dry heat and fans.

The unique design of the Water Nannie encourages a gentle heat to radiate from the bottom and sides of the brooder naturally surrounding the chick in warmth (incubation using the forced air concept is unnatural and can prove unhealthy) Our brooders are designed with a slight variation in the radiating temperature from left side to right side. This 1 to 2 degrees difference in temperature encourages unfeathered babies to gravitate to the area (temperature) they are most comfortable. Hatchlings are not forced to rely entirely on humans to regulate their environment. Babies will go to the area they are most comfortable! Water Nannie’s are thermostatically controlled and can be manually adjusted from 83° to 100°F.

Water Nannies (“Jr.”, “Orig.” & “Special Mama”) are completely portable. The Big Mama is not because of size. All Water Nannie brooders will naturally and safely maintain a healthy brooding environment for approximately 4 hours, un-plugged--- successfully utilizing the natural scientific "Principal of Stored Heat".

Water Nannie "Jr." and "Original" can be easily converted into a convenient hatcher. Pipping eggs are safely hatched inside the Water Nannie using our Hatcher Kit. Complete instructions are included with this kit. WN “Jr.” & WN “Orig.” are recommended for day one to approximately 2 to 3 week old hatchlings. The"Big Mama' and "Special Mama", work best for larger species and those over 2 weeks. Great for show casing babies in pet shops or for use in veterinary hospitals.

All Water Nannies include a strategically placed inside thermometer, an easy view outside thermometer, 2 containers which completely unassembled for easy cleanup (I put the baby container part in my dishwasher), 2 clamps, & a well ventilated lid with viewing door. Nannie Tote insulated carrier, is included with the WN "Jr.", "Orig." & DELUXE and Special Mama. We ship all brooders completely assembled with samples of recommended bedding arranged within (BROODER-DRI Pad, Plastic Grid Mesh, X-A Brooder Liner, and BABY BEDDING). A Moisture Button is included with each Water Nannie. The "Jr." WN includes our HATCHER KIT wt. Day-1 instructions. "Big Mama" (special order, call for availability) includes a handy insulation ring for extra cold nights or power failures…

Cage’N Bird’s BABY CORRAL

Uncomplicated, economical, portable, easy to clean, and extremely safe and reliable. This adaptable brooder (available in 2 sizes), is able to handle babies from tiny parakeets to large Macaws. The Baby Corral is at its best when brooding a clutch of babies in various stages of development.

Baby Corrals utilize the natural scientific "Principal of Stored Heat” which enables the BC to radiate constant warmth even while unplugged for up to 4 hours. The single heating element is safely surrounded by water and constantly distributes even heat at a pre-set temperature. No dials to turn! No knobs to set ! No complicated thermostats to adjust and re-adjust! An ideal brooder for inexperienced novice or for the busy aviculturist/breeder.

Baby Corrals are designed for those who regularly pull babies at about 2 weeks but do feed younger babies now and then. This adaptable brooder will meet your needs in all situations.

Baby Corrals are constructed of easy to clean, unbreakable molded plastic. The unit consists of a large hood or cover with 2 Plexiglas doors and a spacious bottom container. The brooder is roomy enough for a number of babies. Special features are designed into each Baby Corral to make clean up easier. These features discourage the growth of dangerous bacteria, mold and fungus.

Each Baby Corral includes the optional (included but not necessary for operation) Baby Platform & Birdie Blanket Drape. This darkens the brooder interior and intensifies the warmth surrounding the heater (recommended for babies under 1- 1/2 to 2 wks. old), We also include samples of our bedding materials: A washable Brooder-Dri Pad to wick moisture from droppings. A plastic grid used as a barrier between the moisture contained in the Brooder-Dri pad and the upper bedding materials. Upper bedding layers consist of X-Absorbent Brooder Liner and finally--- our famous Baby Bedding. Only the Baby Bedding and X-Absorbent Liner must be changed regularly. Baby Corral 1 includes a 1.75 qt. Baby Nurse heater. Baby Corral II includes a large gallon Baby Nurse. Each Baby Nurse heater includes a washable cloth cover and interior mounted thermometer. A second dial thermometer is included with the brooder. The 5-1/2" stem thermometer is conveniently mounted on the outside cover of the Baby Corral for easy temperature monitering. Thermometer can also double as a formula thermometer.

Baby Corral I is recommended for the smaller parrot species or younger larger parrots. Ideally for clutches of Cockatiels, Love Birds, Grass Parakeets and small parrots such as Senagals, Conures and Ring Necks.

B-H-W

CAGE’N BIRD’S BROODER/HOSPITAL/WEANING CAGE

Our B-H-W is a well-ventilated, electrically heated brooder, hospital or weaning cage. The partially enclosed design of this brooder allows a healthy flow of air which stimulates young birds and seems to encourage early weaning. A comfortable temperature of 88° to 90° F is automatically maintained at the rear of the brooder. Recommended for 2-½ week old Cockatiels, lovebird, conure and other just feathered parrot babies. Temperature zones within the B-H-W allow active maturing birds to seek out comfortable areas within the brooder. This encourages independence and natural weaning.

The BHW’s informal design gently accustoms babies to an unheated environment. The heat source is simple and unpretentious, yet ideal for pre-weaning and weaning age babies. Its simplicity makes the B-H-W practical and economical. A therapeutic 25-watt red electric light bulb keeps babies warm. 40 watt or higher wattage bulbs are seldom needed except in extreme conditions. Sometimes higher wattage is required for sick or younger babies. Red bulbs are less stressful, soothing, encourage weaning, stimulate the appetite, and contributes to the psychological and physical well being of growing babies.

Minor adjustments of the brooders interior temperature is uncomplicated and easily accomplished by manually covering or uncovering air vents and openings. Our B-H-W containers are portable but will not maintain heat for an extended period (electricity is needed for heat to be maintained for extended periods). .

B-H-W's are made of sturdy molded plastic and snap-apart construction. BHW I includes a handle which makes it great for trips to the vet or as a traveling container. These brooders are easy to clean and disinfect. We recommend you order an extra pan and grid as a time saving aide for quick and sanitary cleanup. Removable PVC coated wire grids keep birds above and out of unhealthy droppings and food.

Our B-H-W I is ideal for a clutch of about 5 to 8 Cockatiels, Quakers, or Love Birds. Larger species do well in the B-H-W II, but I have put Greys and Amazons in the smaller B-H-W I with no problem.
