Hya to Gary, San and Kim .Just to let you know that our African grey we purchased off you recently is doing great. Harry as he was named is lots of fun , daft as brush and doesn,t give Debbie a minutes peace , always craving her attention in particular. After all this is what she wanted in a hand reared baby . He has more toys than Toysrus and has his own little vocabulary at the moment.
Once again thank you all so much.

Hi guys!
Well it didn't go to plan, its safe to say that my mum didn't like her surprise present, so as a result I've let it stay with me. Called him (maybe her) Roddick! He's no trouble and is quite a character. Clings to me like there is no tomorrow though when I let him out. Loves his cage. Ordered a playstand for him so that he can see more of the house. I think my mum may eventually have him, she's already been buying toys for it so there is some progress on that score!
Many thanks for a funny bird!
Cheers, Mark.

Well what a sweetie! Our baby Senegal is the best. We thought you did a fantastic job on our pineapple Conure but you've really excelled yourselves this time guys. Our new little fella is so friendly and just loves a cuddle, the only problem we have is what to call him.
The progress updates and pictures were great, we really looked forward to receiving them.
Thanks a million guys you really have some great birds, we would recommend you 100%. Keep up the good work and good luck with all you future babies especially those Ruppells.

Hi Gary & Family,
Thank you so much for the most wonderful bird we have ever met! Corley ( Blue Cinnamon Green Cheek ) is happy, confident and has completely made himself/herself at home! It feels like we have had him forever. He sleeps in his tent which he took to immediately, he ate, played, had a drink and slept within hours of being here and loves nothing more than cuddling up on me and going to sleep!
We highly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of getting one of your beautiful birds!
Thanks again

Hi Gary, San & Kim,
Thankyou so much for our cheeky little Pineapple! 'Mango' has well & truly settled in- within minutes of her getting home she was eating, exploring & playing, it's like she's been here forever. She's already learned to step up on command & is just mastering laying on her back & rolling over! She loves her cuddles & will happily fall asleep on us.
We can't thank you enough, well worth the journey & will highly recommend you to anyone who is after a perfect little 'baby'!

Hiya Gary, San & Kim,
I am absolutely delighted with my baby Senegal Parrot Basil. He has settled in really well and everybody loves him, and comments on his beautiful colours. He has learnt the "Step On" & "Step Down" command already, & loves his cuddles. I can not thank you enough for all my weekly pictures and keeping in touch about the progress of Basil. I would recommend anybody thinking of getting a parrot to contact you as not only do you have beautiul hand reared parrots but brilliant advice too.
Thank you so much for everything

Hi Gary Sandra and Kim, firstly we named for our baby African Grey Jasper, hes doing absolutely brilliant. Within 2 hours of him arriving at his new home he was feeding, playing with his toys and swinging on his swing. Hes got a really cheeky personality and loves flying to people on command. He has learnt the step up command aswell. He has started chatting in his own way and it wont be long until he pronounces the words correctly. We were woken up our phone ringing yesterday only to find that nobody had called since the day before so we think that may have been Jasper fine tuning haha. He is brilliant with the kids. He loves roosting at the top of his cage and just watching everybody. We cant thankyou guys enough for our baby, your time and effort with him truely shows in his temperament. He is so relaxed and silly tame he loves being shown affection. We really are grateful for all your hard work and effort, we would recommend you guys as you have been brilliant and not just with the hand rearing and sale of our baby but we know if we ever need advice you are only a phone call away. Take care and have a brilliant christmas. Terrie, Rob and family x

Hi Gary, San and Kim
I just thought I would send you a quick email on Bumble's birthday to say what a lovely bird he is! We have had him for 10 months now and he is a complete tinker! Mischief is his middle name! We have fallen head over heels in love with him! He has travelled - he went up to Scotland and attended our wedding, as well as spending a summer holiday on a boat on the Norfolk Broads (he enjoyed both!). It has been interesting - he has gone through many phases, from being scared of his own shadow, to being obsessed with certain objects (which quickly faded) and finally the 'nippy stage'. The nippiness was directed at me and I found that taking up clicker training with him solved that, and he is now well socialised with everyone in the family - he loves my husband the best - but will take a head rub from anyone!
He can say one phrase.....which is a little embarrassing...that of PEEK-A-BIRDIE!! Something I shouted when I played peekaboo with him - he came out with it in the middle of our holiday pitch perfect!
I cannot thank you enough for breeding this wonderful Senegal Parrot - he is an absolute star, I cannot imagine life without him and would recommend you to anyone who wanted a hand reared parrot.
Thanks again, and Happy Hatchday Bumble!
I attached a couple of piccies taken this morning,
Kind regards

Hi Gary,San and Kim,
I just wanted to let you have an update on Ringo, the senegal i bought from you this time last year for my parents 25th wedding anniversary. He is now a year old and very settled. He is definately my dad's bird. If anyone sits in dad's chair he screeches and when dad goes away on business he sulks like a baby. He has a proper funny little personality! He still twizzies over in his food dish and loves eatying whole dried chillis.
Thank you for all of the support you gave me when i was choosing the right bird and your aftercare advice,
Speak soon

Hi Gary
Firstly, thank you for rearing such a wonderful Sennie! Bumble coped with the long journey admirably, he spent most of the time eating/destroying carrot and celery and then had a little sleep. The only time he looked panicky was when we stopped for lunch (Little Chef were very accommodating!). At home after some cuddles (what a sweetie - have already got the shut-eye-beak-open-rapturous-I'm-having-a-neck-rub-look!) he got to know his cage- plenty of tumbling about in there. We have a boingie rope inside and he roosted up the top of that and was still asleep when we got up this morning (he was partially covered and had a night light). This morning he definitely wanted to be hand fed, we had lots of begging and head bobbing, but eventually he did eat some seed, veg and fruit. Right now he is asleep, having spent the morning 'beeping', exploring, eating (and ok I admit some more cuddles). He really is far more chilled out than I expected - I think he is going to be one hell of a character and we both love him to bits already. So thanks again to all the family for your hard work, and the love that goes to your birds - it really shows.
Cheers,
Alex, Steve and Bumble (and not forgetting Homer the budgie)

My baby Sennie arrived this morning. I would like to say a personal Thank you to Gary, San and Kim for giving me a bundle of joy.
He has already nearly eaten a half of an apple this morning and is getting alot of attention from the ladies of the family, He knows it too, fluttering his eyes and all.
He loves the rope swing and the bucket has become very popular, sitting inside throwing the bits and bobs out and churping. I'm really happy and can never recommend you and your family enough as good breeders.
So from me and my family Thank you for a wonderful birdie Zack the Senegal Parrot.

Hi Gary
Just to let you know Tilly (Blue GreenCheeked Conure)has settled in .She is in to mischief every day on the go none stop.
The dog got in one day when tilly was out ,I'm panicking Megan will catch Tilly but she came at dog
and landed on her nose It took Megan a few seconds to realized dinner had arrived. She now gets her fur pulled by tilly who loves to run or dangle off her .I'm going to get Megan a muzzle to wear while Tilly s out so I don't have to worry about Megan hurting her.She is the funniest thing ,she thinks she's much bigger than she is.There is nothing she's afraid of , Her head goes down wings slightly out and she charges .She's certainly not are shy or retiring .My friends say she more like a naughty puppy than a little bird. Hope you like photo Tilly loves that fur cushion.So thank you to you and sandy and Kim for a very good job .
Best wishes Linda

Hi Gary, Sandra and Kim,
Well, our baby is safely home and doing well. He didn't seem to enjoy
the car trip very much although he was very good and quiet. When he got
home He ate really
well and then perked up a lot. He is so sweet and really enjoys
snuggling. We are all madly in love with him. He is still eating very
nicely and his poops look good so I have no worries in that department!
Liam has had his way and we have named him Smurf. He is really adorable
and well worth the long journey. Thank you so much. It was lovely to
meet you all yesterday. I will send you another email in a few days to
let you know how he is getting on and with some photos.
Thanks again for everything.
Best wishes,
Nikki and family.

Hi Gary, thank you for the email and so sorry for the late reply! I was not in the office for the rest of last week and I don't have email at home!!
Boo (Green Cheeked Conure) is absolutely lovely, what an angel!! We made it home ok, was a long trip but she was as good as gold. I left her in her cage that night and took her out the next day and she is adorable. She does not like being in her cage and always wants to be with me. She sleeps huddled up in my neck and one day she slept in my cleavage!! Was so cute. She also jumps around from me to my partner, jumps on our heads, chews anything she can find. Have to watch her what she chews!
I bath her every day, I put some water in a bowl and she jumps in and splashes around. I then wrap her in a blanket until she is dry!
She does get a bit nippy sometimes, but only when she has been in her cage and we have not been there. When we get home I take her out and she seems very annoyed to have been left in her cage. Is this normal? Should I teach her to be in her age like when we are sleeping?
She has been eating the food you gave me but she has been eating more seed than fruit. I did cut up some red apple, cucumber and cauliflower and she does nibble on it but is that normal that she does not eat loads of it?
Anyway, other than that everything is perfect and I am absolutely in love with her! I have been taking some pics and will send them to you soon- I just need to find the pc cable!!
Thanks again for everything and it was lovely to meet you and your daughter!
Chat soon.
Take care

Hi Gary and Sandra
Just a quick update on baby 17, who we've called Chloe!
She's adorable and has settled in really well. She is so chilled out nothing seems to phase her.
She's not bothered by the cockatiels, she prefers to be out on the settee with us.
She's taken a real shine to Vince, she likes his bald head and pecks at it, she also likes hiding under my hair.
She's a credit to you.
Thank you very much.
We know where to come if we want another one!!

Hi,
We had a strict criteria which had to be met or we wouldn’t buy. We are big on animal welfare and believe living creatures have the same rights as humans, hence we would not accept a baby from a “parrot farmer” or a pet shop.
We went to see Gary and Sandra in Cheshire and were treated to a feast of Senegal and Green Cheek conure baby’s that ran riot over us, we were under no pressure or obligation to buy and we left after what seemed like 10 mins but it was over 2 hours! sorry Gary and Sandra.
We left without choosing a bird and discussed all the birds over the next couple of days and the family vote went to a Green Cheek.
We have had “Maggie” a Cinnamon Green Cheek just over two weeks now she is simply amazing, she steps up on command and fly’s to however calls her, she is so gentle and loving never a sign of aggression what so ever.
As a family we would like to thank Gary and Sandra for there time and patience with us and even showing us round there birds. Such amazing birds you have there.
The highlight apart from getting our baby was getting our sons photo taken with a footballer who was there getting his baby conure as a present for his fiancée, see Gary I said I wouldn’t name names LOL
We would recommend Gary & Sandra to any one wanting a baby parrot there fantastic..
