Conures Conures Conures.....

[J.Thomas]

So its been a long time since I've posted and my oh my have things changed around here.....

Just thought I would post some pics of the conures being weaned.....





Right now I am hand feeding 117 Conures and theres more coming. Every mutation of green cheek , sun conures , rose crowned conures , blue throat conures , Golden conures , red throat conures , cherry head conures , white eye conures , dusky conures, black cap conures and the list goes on.....


Its been a great season so far.

Wow, that is a lot of conures! They are very cute.

 

[Cyreen]

Wow, how long does that take and how often? 117 babies!

 

[waterfaller1]

Where do they go when they are weaned?

 

[Renae]

Very cute, but man that is a lot of babies, are they all yours, or are you hand-feeding them for someone? I have anywhere from 3-8 babies at once and I thought that was a lot!

 

[expressmailtome]

Wow! There are so few breeders with blue throats. You are very lucky to be feeding some. Matt

 

[Kostakos]

OMG can i COME THERE???? Conure little babies!!!

 

[Anne & Gang]

they are very cute...where do they go once weaned? how do you manage all that?

 

[Pumpkin]

Awww so cute! You must be one busy fellow!!

 

[J.Thomas]

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes they are all mine. I have alot more species hatching as well. Most are sold before weaning through private sales. I do have a few awesome bird / pet stores that I work with when I have overflow ( which is not very often most sell to quickly ) The more rare birds normally stay with me or go into other breeding programs.

How do you feel about all the conures that are homeless?

 

[J.Thomas]

Moving on...... It looks like my Green wings are hatch today !

117 ... and is all that feeding by yourself? I hope you have help feeding! Plus more birds on the way ... okay, so you are basically hand feeding non stop! I know I only use to raise about 30 to 35 Pionus and Amazon babies each year and when chicks were young, I'd no more get done feeding and clean up and it would hardly be a breather for me then it would be time to get ready to feed again!! LOL!

 

[TextsFromParrots]

You sell unweaned babies?

 

[Mythreeiggys]

Just out of curiosity, how do you have the time to spend with them and socialize them? I'd imagine that would be really tough.

Are you going to answer Dianne's question? I think it was a fair one.

Yeah, like a full-time, around-the-clock job that literally leaves no time for anything else ever...

 

[Lady Jane]

Yes, it was a fair question that is on many people's minds but not said. I am not trying to be rude. Just curious.

J. Thomas I was also wondering why you would breed so many when there are so many birds in need of rescuing or re-homing. Instead of breeding so many birds wouldn't it be better to rescue the birds in need of good homes and then maybe help to find them a good forever home. Maybe foster care??? Probably more money in breeding though huh?

Lady Jane Grey guess he is too busy to be accountable.................
