Forever friends move on to their FOREVER homes!

We thoroughly enjoy all the babies we hand-raise. Even though species have common personality traits, each is unique and special. We had a great time hand-raising Unah (Congo African Grey) and Hoku (female Solomon Island Eclectus) and met an amazing family in the process.

This post is dedicated to two forever friends.

Unah (Cherokee for 'friend') and Hoku (Hawaiian for 'star') now live in Rochester, WA with their new parents. They love next door to each other (on the same property) and hopefully will visit each other often. The Ledl's have a spread in Rochester and raise miniature horses.

Knowing that Unah and Hoku would be friends and family, we made sure that the two birdies had a chance for some playtime. Here are a few snapshots for your enjoyment - pictures as babies, playtime and then go-home day. Enjoy!

Hoku 7 weeks (not sure which is Hoku)

We help all our babies get off to a great early start with lots of love and affection, enrichment and a high quality diet of pellets and fruits and veggies. For customers who cannot come to visit us often (which I suspect will be the case with Hoku and Unah given the busy lives their parents have) we have an on-line bird supply store called Rosie's AvianOutfitters and offer a extensive, high quality, high value selection of birdie essentials so your birdies will never be without what they need.

Well that's it for this post.... Happy trails Hoku and Unah!!!!!
