Hi Joey,
Yes, my wife Cathy and I bred and raised parrots for about 20 years. Still have about 20 big birds as pets. At one time with all the breeders and babies we hade well over 400 Tiels to Macaws. We started out with Finches and Lovebirds and moved to Cockatoos and Macaws. Now we have a Tiel, African Greys, Cockatoos, Blue and Gold Macaws, a Greenwing Macaw, a Military Macaw, and a couple of Yellow Collared Macaws. In my sig line is a link to my pbase account where there are pics of a few of them. Glad to see someone else who is a bird lover here. Corry, one of the Mods here has or had a B&G macaw also. My favorites are the big Macaws, Cathy's favorites are the Cockatoos. Great gentile giants all. When I started going into Kidney failure again about 5 years ago, we started cutting back on the breeders while keeping the pets. About a year ago I received my second transplant but don't have plans as of yet to get back into breeding the birds. A lot of that space will be a studio soon I hope.
