cape parrot
hi all! we are waiting eagerly to hear word that jasper is fully weaned, prob-
ably another 3 weeks. our breeder says capes are not known for their love of food so it is very important that he is well and truly holding his own weight-wise. the breeder is a very small aviary, Wingnuts Aviary in Indiana.
she seems to be wonderful with her babies, and thus far it has been a pleasure dealing with her. capes seem very hard to come by, other places we tried said we would have to go on the list for this fall's clutch, with those
babies not being available til spring of 09 :(. just this weekend i saw one available but at almost double what we are paying. i know that over the life of the bird it would average out to not much more, but it was still a tremendous amount all at once. if you are seriously considering a cape, i would start looking around so that you might get your name on a list.
susan- we are in nj as well, morris co. where are you? i laughed when i saw bailey's name, i wanted to name jasper that, but my daughter said that she
would like to name a baby that, (she is currently single) so i gave it up
with the hope of future grandchildren!
i will keep you posted
