BROODERS & ACCESSORIES
Altricial species of birds
(including all parrots and birds of prey) are blind and helpless when
they hatch and it is some weeks before they are able to move around,
control their body temperature and feed themselves.
Brooders are absolute necessity when hand rearing birds. We have a
number of brooders to offer. Some are of our own design and we also
offer two Brinsea models for those who prefer a more high-tech
unit.

Cage'N Bird Brooders
e take pride in
our hand-crafted products. Cage’N Birds’ Avian Pediatric Environments are
extensively tested and continually in use in our own nursery. We have
hands-on experience and have been continually working with these brooders
and heaters since the mid 1980’s.
Beware of copies and knockoffs.
These pirate companies who have attempted to reproduce
our brooders DO NOT have the experience or expertise to understand the
Cage'N Bird brooder concept.
Wanda Barras'
20 Year experience in Avian Pediatrics is behind each Cage'N Bird brooder.
Simple design adjustments and material
changes have been made over the years to improve and simplify an already
successful concept. Water Nannies, Baby Corrals Baby Nurse Cuddlers (water
heaters) and BHW’s are used and recommended by breeders, veterinarians, zoos
and REHAB facilities all over the country. Our
Cage’N Bird’s brooders are unique
and successfully based on proven scientific principles. Our brooders are
different, but that difference is what makes them technically superior,
extremely easy to use, portable and safe. All CNB brooders are shipped
completely assembled with easy to understand instructions.
On receiving your brooder give us a call and Wanda
will answer all your questions and help you get started.

CAGE’N
BIRD’S OWN WATER NANNIE BROODER
 The
WATER NANNIE “Jr.”, “Orig.” and “Deluxe”
are Designed Primarily As A Day One Brooder.
Larger units do better with babies over 1 week old.
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.”,"Deluxe" & “Special Mama”)
are completely portable. 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" &
"Deluxe" can be
easily converted into a convenient hatcher. Pipping
eggs are safely hatched inside the Water
Nannie using our Hatcher Kit and following directions. Complete instructions
are included with this kit. WN “Jr.”, WN “Orig.”
& "Deluxe" are recommended for day one to
approximately 2 to 3 week old hatchlings.
The "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, also a handy
stem thermometer that can double as a formula
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

The One and Only
 Cage’N Bird
BABY CORRAL
Beware Of Imitators &
Knockoffs!
Wanda Barras' 20 Year experience in Avian Pediatrics is
behind each Cage'N Bird brooder.
All New Streamlined Design
Our
New Baby Corrals
are 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 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. We have
included a Baby Platform and Birdie Blanket Towel Drape accessory to be used when
brooding those babies 2 weeks old and under .
Baby
Corrals are constructed of easy to clean, unbreakable molded plastic. The unit
consists of a large hood or cover with
a large Plexiglas door 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 a
Baby Platform & Birdie Blanket
Towel Drape (included
but not necessary for operation). This darkens the brooder interior and intensifies
the warmth surrounding the heater (recommended for use with
babies 2 weeks old or younger , Platform
& Towel drape are visible
in above photo (Baby Corral cover is optional when using
Platform & Drape). 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 newly designed, large 3 qt. Baby Nurse. Each Baby
Nurse heater includes
a washable
cloth cover and
interior mounted thermometer.
A
second 5-1/2"
stem thermometer is conveniently
mounted on top of the outside cover of the Baby Corral for easy temperature monitoring.
Thermometer can also double as a formula thermometer and comes with calibration
instructions.
The
Baby Corral has been in production since 1988! This unit is truly the safest and
easiest to maintain brooder on the market.
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,
smaller Amazons and T. Grays.

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.
Order one of our Sweet Beak and Feet Training Perches for
inside your BHW. . see bottom of page.
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.

Ideal night light for aviary or pet birds.
These
high quality industrial bulbs are the bulbs used in our BHW brooders.
These bulbs are extremely durable and last a long time. The light of
choice for brooders that require light bulbs as the heat source. White or clear
bulbs are entirely too harsh for young birds. Red lights are more soothing and
seem to encourage weaning. These bulbs are also recommended as night lights in
aviaries. The muted color does not disturb roosting birds and prevents night
fright. available in 3
