our handfed handraised
loveable red rump babies for
sale. Each one of our babies has been raised in our home with lots
of tender loving care.
All our babies are closed banded and
socialized.
They are weaned to roudybush niblets, cheerios, spray
millet, cornbread, seed and a variety of fruit and vegetables
.
Life is too short......Have you hugged
your bird(s) today?
Little Wing Aviary sells on a first come first serve basis.
I do not hold birds unless a non-refundable deposit has been made and
we agree on a paid in full date in advance
Pricing.....
People sometimes ask me if my prices are negotiable. Here is my pricing philosophy.....
I believe I am just as, if not more deserving, of retail pricing for my birds than
the pet shops. I do not get to close my doors at night and go
home. I do not get sick days, weekends off or vacations.
I often work long hours and sometimes all night long. I am on
call 24/7 for my clients who are often at my home.
Yes I am sure you can find a bird cheaper elsewhere, however
you get what you pay for. You will be hard pressed to find a
bird of the quality you will get from me.
I am not aware of a pet shop that feeds the very best high quality seed
mix and Roudybush pellets. I know none that actually cook for
their birds or provide fresh fruit and veggies.
Very few shops allow the birds to remain outside of the cage,
where as my birds live cage free for the most part except at night.
My birds are socialized, get medical attention and are not forced
weaned. They are happy jolly souls.
I
have purchased high quality breeding stock, provide accurate lineage
information and continue to improve my bloodlines.
I do occasionally have sales. I offer payment plans and a discount for purchasing more than
one bird, but my prices are not negotiable.
I make amazing pets for people....that is what I do!
Thank you!

Pet Red Rump Parakeets For Sale....
The Red-rumped
parrot is a common bird in
Australia and
quickly gaining popularity here in the United States. They make wonderful
lively pets that are social, intelligent and loving. They are known to be quite
hardy. Averaging approximately 11 inches in length, they are comparable in size
to a cockatiel but with a longer tail. They do not produce the dander that
some
other species produce, making them a better choice for someone with breathing
difficulties. They come in quite the variety of mutations with the male being
more vibrantly colored.
Red Rumps
are relatively quiet birds with a few distinct calls. The sounds these birds
make are very flute like or chime like. Some breeders say they have the ability
to speak while others say they can only whistle small tunes.
If cared
for properly and given the correct diet the red rump parrot can live up to 15 to
20 years. Diet being the crucial key in their longevity, these birds love
broccoli, squash, cauliflower and corn in particular. They happily devour Roudy
Bush pellets, rice and bean mixtures and seed.
These
birds
love water…I cannot emphasis this enough. Bathing in the water bowl happens at
least once a day if not more. Supplementing them with a water bottle is a good
idea so that water is available at all times.
Red Rumps
can be quite aggressive to other birds, in particular other red rumps. Although
if provided with enough space they can coexist with other birds of the same
size, they will attack any weak or sick birds. We recommend only keeping one of
these gorgeous birds unless you are planning on breeding them.
The larger
the cage the better with a maximum ¾ inch bar spacing. A wider cage is a better
choice than a tall cage as it leaves more room for foraging on the cage bottom,
flight and toys.

WAITING
LIST
- To make things perfectly clear, if your name does not appear
on this list I am not holding or planning on holding a bird for you. The
waiting list fee will be deducted from the cost of your Little Wing Aviary bird.
What are the
benefits of being on the waiting list?
- This guarantees you get the choice of passing or
taking the next Little baby that becomes available (from Little
Wing Aviary babies not babies being listed for friends) for sale or
reservation. Once contacted an appointment must be set up or
your decision to pass or take the baby offered must be made in a timely fashion
(within 4 days) or we will be forced to move to the next person on the list. All babies that will be sold will be offered
to you first to pass or take as you prefer. This is a
great way to get a baby in a particular mutation or get first
dibs on babies in the nursery.

DNA SEXING
-
Want to have your bird DNA sexed? This fee is added to
the price of your bird. This requires me to send a blood
sample to the lab and takes approximately a week to get the
results.
$35.00
Discounts and Payment Plans:
We will be more than happy to deduct 25.00 for each
additional bird purchased while your first bird remains with

You decide what to pay and when with our payment plan.
Simply press the make payment button under your reserved bird

time. Payments are made through Paypal ( which does not
require you to have a Paypal account) by major credit card or

Can't seem to choose which one you
would like?
Instead of you choosing your bird why don't you
let the bird choose you. We have found that our birds, if given the
chance will often choose who they want to be with. There is some sort of
connection that is visible if you just look for it. Come to our home and
visit with them. You can sit and play with them in birdie village until
it is obvious who wants to be yours or you meet one you just have to have.
Simply email us and we will be happy to arrange a convenient time for you to
visit.
What will your purchase get you:
A healthy, socialized, weaned bird
A Pedigree showing your pets lineage
A sample of the food your new addition is

your little one to come home
A loyal loving pet to enhance your life
Free wing and nail clips for your purchased bird as long as I am
breeding birds.
My support - I am only a phone call or email away for any questions or
concerns you may have.
A place for your bird should you have to part
with it. Little Wing Aviary will take back any
bird we sell at any time. We feel responsible for what we bring into
this world and will provide for your bird if you cannot.
Things that you should know....
Little Wing Aviary
does not sell
un-weaned babies
We offer a health guarantee on all our birds
and test our flock on a routine basis.
All Sales are non-refundable and final.
However, should a situation arise we will work with you to make sure the bird
you purchase is a good fit for you and your family.
We will let you know when your reserved baby is
ready to go home. Any bird ( reserved or buy it now) remaining longer than seven days will
incur a fee of $15.00 per day. Any bird remaining longer than ten days
(unless other arrangements have been made in advance) will automatically be put back up for sale and your payment forfeited. We do
this for the benefit of our birds. The time to bond with your new baby
is when It is young. The longer they are here the more they bond with us
and the other birds and the more difficult it is for them to acclimate to you.
Although some of the time the sex of a
particular bird is obvious I cannot guarantee it without a $35.00 sexing fee.
It will then be DNA tested.
We ship birds through Delta or Continental.
Although rare, sometimes we become aware of a
situation that we are not comfortable with. We reserve the right to
choose not to sell our birds to anyone at anytime. In this case you will
be refunded in full.
Why would you ship a bird and how
does shipping a bird work?
Sometimes it just makes sense to ship a bird in from another place.
If you cannot find a breeder near you and you want a particular kind of bird,
or a sweet handraised baby, shipping just makes sense. This bird
is going to be part of your life for a long time and you should not have to
settle for what is available in your local area. In fact that truly is
the key - DO NOT SETTLE!
Get what you want. Shipping birds has become very common and airlines are well
aware of the precautions that must be taken to ensure the birds safety. I have
shipped many birds and have not lost any. Considering the lifespan of
the bird is the extra 160.00 that it costs to get what you want
worth it or not? Only you can decide.
The bird is introduced to the carrier slowly over
time so that it gets used to it.
After payment is received the flight is booked on a mutually
agreed upon time. I will need your full name, address and phone
number and the airport of choice.
I DO NOT SHIP COLLECT! Shipping is required to be paid in full before I book the
flight!
I then book the flight. I email you the exact
time, flight number and reference number
On shipping day the bird is put into the carrier with
food and drinking source and taken to the airport to catch the flight.
You go to the airport and pick up your bird at the specified time.
Should you fail to pick up your bird, after a period of
time, approximately a day or two, the airline will automatically ship it back
to me and I must pay the return shipping fee. I cannot stop this from
happening. If this occurs your ownership of the
bird ceases to exist and any payments you have made will be forfeited. In all
my years of breeding birds I never thought I would have to put this kind
of policy in place. It is a shame that one person had to ruin it for the
rest. The airlines will not open the carrier and give food and water to
these sweet birds and for them to remain in the carrier for that length of
time is just wrong. To me, this is animal abuse and I WILL NOT
sell any of my animals to you in the future!
Shipping/Transport/Carrier Fee
-
Want to have your bird Shipped? Then it will require a
airline approved shipping carrier and a flight. Shipping will be arranged
after this fee has been paid. This fee is paid only once
per flight, no matter how many birds are shipped on that
flight.
