Plans for 2011!

 

New Species!

We are cutting back on our Hahn's Macaws, and other New World species and focusing more on the Poicephalus birds. To that end, we are planning to offer Red-Bellieds, Orange vested Senegals, and Meyers Parrots as well as Timneh Greys in 2010-2011.

How do I find out if a baby is available ?

The easiest way to check is to look on the site. If the baby is still showing for sale, then it's most likely still for sale. The best way to be certain is to email me at tina@fofaviary.net to be certain.

How do I order a baby ?

In the navigational menu is a set of links on how to order a baby. Read through them, and find out if the baby you want is available. If it is, then submit a reservation form. You can choose to place a deposit using paypal, or send a check or money order for 25% of the price of the baby to hold it for you.

Do I have to place a deposit ?

No, you don't. But, I won't reserve a baby in your name if you don't have a deposit on that baby. That means you take the chance of that baby being sold before it's ready to go to its' new home. By placing a deposit on the baby, you're securing it.

If I change my mind, do I get my deposit back ?

No. I do not refund deposits unless a baby has died while still being hand-fed. You place a deposit at your own risk. We spend time and money on each baby, and keep a baby off of the market when you place a deposit. All deposits are non-refundable. However, if you want to change to another species before the baby is ready, you can switch the deposit to the new species. In some circumstances, such as losing a job or an illness, I will be happy to credit you towards another baby later on.

Why don't I get to visit my baby in person ?

We run under the MAP 'closed aviary' protocol. We do this to keep potential illness out of our aviary and nursery. This means that when a baby leaves here, it has not been exposed to potentially harmful diseases. You can read more about this under the link "Why are we a closed aviary?".

When will my baby be weaned ?

We abundance wean our babies. This means that we allow the baby to set the pace of its weaning. Some babies wean on their own fast, some are slower. We don't rush them as it makes a more confident, self-assured baby when they don't suffer from food based anxieties.
