Hi, I'm Kathy Greaser a small breeder and Hagen Tropican food distributor. I
like to keep the breeding small so I can give my birds the individual
care that I feel they should have. I've been breeding since late 1992 and I breed Cockatiels,
Lovebirds,
and Green and Blue Quakers.
Below are some of their pictures. We have a pet lovebird, Jelly, and
an umbrella cockatoo, Tori. Our first pet, Hon, a male tiel is how I
got into breeding. My daughter, Kelly, thought it would be so cute to
watch Hon be a daddy. So I got into it for her, now she's grown and
gone and I'm still breeding. The birds are the lights of my life and
I enjoy it tremendously.
I belong to NACS(North American Cockatiel Society), ALBS (African Lovebird Society),
PBAV (Pet Bird Association of Virginia)and my local club PCBS
Pennisula Caged Bird Society). I'm a board member, the
Lovebird Director, and the previous Cockatiel Director, for this club. I also
maintain the breeder list, do the "for sale" ads in the newsletter and maintain their
web page along with the web page for BCA (Bird Clubs of America). I'm was also on the Board of BCV (Bird Clubs of Virginia)for 4 years.
I run the Peachface and Masked Lovebird Breeding Partnerships under
Bird Clubs of America, link provided below. I've been using Hagen since I had to
change pellets a few years ago due to many deaths of my breeders and a couple of my babies
. This article can be read many places on the net but also here. I've finally gotten the
opportunity to sell Hagen's wonderful products. On Line Store
Hagen granules are in their cages 24 hours a day and they get the equivalent of
1 tablespoon per bird of one of the foods listed daily:
The flight cages look empty right now because most of the birds are
set up for breeding. I also had to take all the toys down to be able
to take the picture of the birds. My husband built these cages for me
styled after Corners stackable breeder cages. You can see more about
the aviary itself here.
As you can see I have many mutations and they are available all
year. Six different pair of lovies, 3 pair of quakers and 2 pair of tiels are set up at all times so I usually have a
variety. The little one in the tank is Tuesday, the first quaker baby
I raised. Here's a pic of my first Blue Quaker, Shamus. I just wish the quakers bred as easily as the other species.
For information on how to feed breeder birds go to my breeder site. I've set that site up as a training course for new breeders. So if you'd like to breed please visit that site.
I pull my babies at 14-17 days for hand feeding.
They are banded with African Lovebird Society, North American
Cockatiel Society and L&M bands.
They are well socialized every day. They get
played with and cuddled daily so that when you get them they are so
tame you can do anything with them. They are brought to the dinner table to be taught
a few manners. From the time they are 3 weeks old they are offered all the foods
mentioned above so they will eat anything that you offer them when they get to you.
All babies are trained to drink from water
bottles. No more poop soup! I do not ship. I don't feel
it's worth the expense to ship one at a time. I also don't sell
unweaned babies and all the reason why are here.
