🐦 Do you allow visitors to your aviary?
Short answer: No — and it’s for the safety of my flock.
I operate a closed aviary, meaning I do not allow visitors into my home or bird areas. This protects my birds from outside pathogens, stress, and — unfortunately — theft. Florida has seen multiple aviary break‑ins, and I won’t risk my birds’ safety.
But don’t worry! You’ll receive photos, videos, and updates of your baby as they grow. You’ll get to watch their personality bloom long before they come home.

🪶 Do you clip wings?
I do not clip wings on babies. Flight is essential for confidence, coordination, and mental development. If you choose to clip later, that’s your decision — but your baby will leave here fully flighted.
