Pricing.....
People sometimes ask me if my prices are negotiable. Here is my pricing philosophy.....
I believe I am 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 weekends off or vacations. I often
work long hours and sometimes all night long. I am on call
24/7 for my clients.
Yes I am sure you can find a bird cheaper elsewhere, however
you get what you pay for.
I know very few pets shops that feed 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
actually 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 and offer payment plans and discounts for purchasing more than
one bird, but my prices are not negotiable.
Thank you!

Pet Peach Face Lovebirds
For Sale...
Peach Faced Lovebirds are considered to be the most popular of all the
lovebirds. More than likely it is due to their wonderful personalities and their
beautiful appearance. They come in almost all colors of the rainbow. You can
even say they come in so many different color combinations that it is sometimes
hard to pick which you like the best.
Basically this is a large parrot in a little body. Like the larger parrots it
does have the ability to mimic and will imitate noises and whistles. They do
not, however possess a great ability to speak. It shouldn't
be said that don't speak, they can speak but it is very difficult to make
out at times. With practice they get quite good at speaking short sentences.
Unless you are willing to teach your lovebird to speak you should not
expect it. These birds love to climb and will often be seen hanging upside
down in their cages they also love to preen. They are little clowns. A preener
toy is essential for these birds.
Lovebirds are small birds that do not require much space. However they do
like to fly so the larger the cage the better. A wider cage is better than a
taller one as it provides more room to fly and for toys. Consider getting them a
play gym and make sure they have time outside the cage to flex those wings.
Cage bar spacing should be no more than half an inch a part. Lovebirds are not
nearly as messy or as noisy as a parrot which makes them an attractive apartment
pet. The can even be potty trained. With proper care the Peach Face Lovebird may
live over 20 years, though the average is around 15 years.
An all pellet diet is generally considered too low in fat for a Lovebird so a
high quality seed should also be included in the diet. Lovebirds should be given
fresh vegetables. Favorites include corn, peas and string beans.
The Lovebird has gotten a bad reputation as being mean. That cannot be
further from the truth. What you get out of your bird is comparable to
what you put into it. I will admit however, that it is my opinion
that all lovebirds will nip their owners once in a while. I am not saying
a "make me bleed" kind of bite, but they will nip here and there.
They will also sometimes become more aggressive after reaching sexual maturity
at approximately 10 months old. They seem to go through stages. You can
minimize the times you are bit by recognizing the signs and I will be happy to
share the techniques I use to maintain dominance.
Lovebirds make cheerful friendly loving companions when bonded with people.
They can be easily taught many tricks and thrive on the attention you provide.
It
is not true that lovebirds must be kept in pairs. The best pets are those
that are kept alone with lots of contact with people. If you do not have
the time however to spend with your bird, it is wise to get it a companion
for its well being. They are social creatures by nature.
Our Lovebirds are pulled from the nest box at approximately
fourteen to eighteen days old. They are then handfed and remain in the
brooder until feathered out. After that they spend almost the entire day
playing in birdie village or on someone's shoulder. It is at this time they are
listed for reservation and usually only spend time in the cage at night to
sleep. They are used to being bathed and grow up surrounded by the normal
goings on of family life. They accompany me on errands, are introduced to
new things everyday and each and every one spends quality alone time with me.
They are well socialized!
We take great pride in our birds and the
offspring they produce. We strive to make the perfect pet and believe
that the time
and energy we put into our babies is what makes us
stand out.

$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
us.
You decide what to pay and when with our payment plan.
Simply press the make payment button under your reserved bird
and you can enter the amount you would like to pay at that
time. Payments are made through Paypal ( which does not
require you to have a Paypal account) by major credit card or
Paypal account.
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
currently eating and a loot bag full of goodies.
Update pictures until your little darling is
ready to go home
Extended visiting time
Informational emails so you may prepare for
your little one to come home
A loyal loving pet to enhance your life
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.
Male pearl cockatiels will likely lose their
pearling after the first molt. An exceptional pearl male will keep small
amounts of pearling.
We ship birds through Delta or Continental.
Buyer incurs cost of shipping and 35.00 transportation/carrier fee
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! Especially from the commercial pet stores.
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(s) 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!
I then book the flight. I email you the exact
time, flight number, reference number and shipping fee
On Shipping day the bird is put into the carrier with
food and drinking source and taken to the airport to catch the flight.
Shipping is 125.00 and the transport/carrier fee is 35.00 this is required to be paid in full before I book the
flight!
You go to the airport and pick up the bird(s).
Sometimes they are passed over the counter and other times they are at the
Cargo building.
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.
