All our babies are vet checked, hand fed, hand tamed,
and properly weaned. They're clipped only after their first solo
flight. We believe it's natural for the birds to want to fly
and letting them have this freedom before clipping allows them to
experience it at least once. We recommend all companion
birds be kept clipped for safety always. We've found clipped birds to
be more managable companions. Note :: Keeping the bird at or below your
level helps to keep the bird from thinking it is the boss and
developing behavioral problems.Birds with the ability to talk, will sometimes know a few words. Our babies will understand several commands which you'll reinforce and expand upon. They have the capability to know how to behave, when they're being bad and to respond when they're given commands that they've learned. Its up to you to work with your bird to maintain good behavior.
Their birth certificate & papers, along with our guarantee, and any special nutritional needs will be ready to bring home should you decide to make a purchase from us of a companion bird. You'll be given a starter pack of food that the baby has been weaned on. Afterwards, you'll decide whether to keep this diet or modify it. We reccommend that you keep the diet as explained to keep the bird from undergoing stress and sickness.
Your bird can optionally be DNA-Sexed for absolute confirmation of
whether its a Boy or Girl at an additional cost of $25.00 currently.
(Aug 2007) At BBN / CP we'll be happy to put you on the waiting
list for future companion birds. Once that type of baby becomes
available we'll call to let you know.We also have a lay-a-way program during the weaning period. An initial deposit is required to hold a specific bird and weekly payments are required while the baby is weaning to keep your hold on the bird. All deposits & payments are nonrefundable. During the weaning process we ask the customer, if at all possible, to make several visits before taking their new companion bird home. We found this method of socializing with their new owners to be very good for the owner and the companion bird. It gives the new owner one-on-one contact and a time to ask questions about their new parrot. It also allows time for the bird to get use to other people handling them. The visits, of course, need to be made by appointment only. In this way they get to know you and you, them. You can take this opportunity to take pictures or videos of the new family member growing and changing weekly during the first three months. The companion bird needs to be paid in full when the weaning process is complete and ready to go to its new home.
