So excited, getting 3 aracari :)

[srtiels]

I just express mailed the check out for the Acarari today. If he (Miguel in CA) gets it tomorrow he has another shipment going out late Fri and he'll send them so that they arrive early Sat. He prefers the late night flights when shipping coast to coast. I'm on the fence on 'possibly' asking/getting an unrelated weaned male for the little girl, if one is also available. Kirby already has plans to have the baby as a constant companion and velcro bird....which I don't think I can wait til there are babies next year from the pair for my pet....sigh...

Really....he is handfeeding some 2 week old babies now. I asked him to hold a male for me to be a companion to the baby female I am getting.

Invest in Aviclean. Trust me on this one.They are WONDERFUL...But the mess, ohhhh the mess. You will always wonder how papaya ends up on your ceiling...its fun! All (serious) kidding aside, Congrats! They are well worth the time cleaning up after!

Thanks Shawn....I have found out with the mousebirds hydrogen peroxcide works the best for quickly breaking down the fruit and mess from them. I heard that aracaris are good at slinging food.

The will arrive here at 12:30 on Sat....can't wait.

On the ceiling!?

On the ceiling!?

-----------------------------------------------------

Yes...it would get on the ceiling if they were flinging and shaking their beak to get excess food off. Whereas mousebirds rub their beaks on the cage bars to clean them.

This is a pix of her as a baby and later on I'll post more pix.

A question....what do you all use as a sleepbox for your aracaris.....it was suggested from the breeder to use a cockatiel or lovebird box.

Threee are coming in Sat and then I'm waiting on a little boy to be weaned out (he's 2 weeks old now)

 

[NikkiCat]

Aw, so cute!
And it is kind of impressive food can be flung that far.

Big congrats Susanne, what sweeties! I can’t wait to see more photos and hear more about them.

 

[waterfaller1]

So...where are you? I wouldn't be able to sleep!
