The Tropics Exotic Bird Refuge
Warning! Breeders Latest Tactics
It appears that now breeders are going so far as to not just sell unweaned babies, which I'm told is now illegal, but selling so-called fertile parrot eggs, and at bundle prices. BEWARE: To the untrained eye who would know if the eggs are even fertile. If they are, then you'd have to keep them at a steady temperature and humidity and turn constantly. If they were to hatch you'd have to wear magnifying glasses to find their tiny beaks to feed even one drop an hour 24/7. That's just the beginning! NEED I SAY MORE?!? Do not fall for the traps of eggs and unweaned baby birds! It's the breeders' ways of offloading unweaned babies where you take the risk of losing your money and the baby should something go wrong, and nothing more need be said regarding the eggs!

News from Mary
First let me introduce you to my newest handicapped bird, Sollie the Scarlet Macaw. She’s a DNA sexed female and has been here since July 10. She has neurological issues that I think are affecting her sight. It appears that she either can’t focus or has depth perception problems, or both. She is quite a Diva, tho, as the only food she will eat is, of course, Harrison’s the most expensive and hardest to find at good prices, but she gets it. She also loves home cooked food as a supplement.
Read Mary’s full letter here.
