I am extremely interested in breeding in the future (before you come for me it’s not about money) I am extremely passionate about parrots and find them extremely fascinating. I’m in the process of looking for a macaw and so many breeders do… questionable things. I want to bring excellent birds to the market. I am looking to learn more in depth things as I know the basics.
heres some things I’m prepared to do.
I am comfortable handfeeding from day 1 but if everything goes smoothly I’ll pull at around 20 days.
I will have an incubator in case of emergency.
I will not clip personally I am very against it.
I Will abundance wean.
Im really looking to produce well socialized birds with basic training and such.
while my main focus is macaws I’m also interested in African greys and eclectus parrots.
My main concern is I want hands on experience and I’d love to “apprentice” under a breeder but it seems that’s not really a thing as far as I can find.
Another concern is where to source breeding stock. I barely find anything online and when you do it’s breeders selling “stray pairs” which signals to me something wrong (they don’t produce, don’t incubate their eggs, harm young, etc)
I’m probably forgetting more questions of mine
I’d love some good reads about breeding though! Online or books
