2012 SEASON already underway

We have added several new species over the last 10  years, we have added to our macaw breeding collection Hyacinth macaws.

We house one of the largest breeding collection of MACAWS in the USA to date. blue gold,military,greenwing,hyacinth


We recently within the last 12 months added 23 more pair of African greys to our already large collection bringing the grey collection close to 100  breeder pair. This makes Royal Bird Company the largest breeder of this species in the USA .These are all red tails, we do have a few breeder pair of the subspecies Timneh as well.
We are working closely on our
SUN RED GREY rare mutation project, where we have several almost extreme red greys that we have managed to get to reproduce last year with amazing RED ORANGE color these birds are from the late DR. Bosher DVM  from California and moved to South Africa and  he was one of the first person to obtain and produce the mutation red african greys in the USA. These birds were obtained by Royal Bird Company from his estate in 2008 for a value of $175k, The project has already paid for it self 2 times over. These are extremely rare mutations.

With the addition of  new Pairs of militarys, greenwings,and more Hyacinths, we now boast more than 85 pairs of macaws.  More work,work,work.

We have almost completed the 11,000 square foot state of the art facility for the next phase of our GREY venture, with electronic full spectrum high pressure sodium lighting, filtered automatic water systems, natural misting systems,outside aviary connection, complete kitchens,      full 5 stage nursery areas,weaning rooms, full flight fly rooms, incubation rooms, ICU Rooms,down draft ventilation systems, one half retractable roof for full sun and rain and for our 17 acre compound we have some very mobile security measures with several Fully armed Kawasaki mules that are used to patrol our new massive breeding area ground perimeters 24 hours daily..Our new 12 foot solar electric fence went up in december that totally surrounds our 17 acre compound.

We have stopped several programs, we have stopped our breeding programs on ALL pionus Parrots as well eclectus, we have stopped our production programs on red sided,vosmarie eclectus. eclectus programs have stopped due to the species in our opinion are not suitable for companion birds for most pet owners since their population numbers are steady this species just did not fit into our programs here at the compound and we sold all breeding pairs of those species

We no longer are able to operate the avian consulting business due to the time we must spend here on our own farm.

We will continue to help several  conservation groups and the World Wildlife Org in Africa as we still help few conservation groups such as the Thick Bill Project on several programs.


Our incubation programs continue to play a very important role in our success. Many of our techniques have been adopted and used by several large US breeders as well the world renown Zaire Animal Research Foundation, Africa.  see left side panel

Many people ask "Why do you incubate the eggs and not leave them with the parent birds?" Well its simple, many times the parent birds will not set to full term and may leave the eggs at any given time. These birds may stop incubating due to many reasons like, thunderstorms, noises or may just be ready to start laying again. When the valuable eggs are in our possession we have more control from start to hatch. Since we control the eggs environment as well the newly hatched chick we can eliminate most common problems that plague other breeders birds such as bacterial problems.
These problems can start in the nest boxes, as the dark and often damp nest box is a fertile ground for bacterial problems.

We have learned that we can eliminate this by taking control and giving a much better and healthier start to the eggs.
The proof is in the pudding as we hatch and rear some of the healthiest baby parrots your money can buy, we guarantee it.

We believe one should do all they can do to prevent any problems as prevention is much better than a cure. Our breeder birds are much happier and healthier as well. The parents do not have to sit on eggs in a hot nest box for 25-28 days and then feed & brood chicks for months.

Our breeder birds only work for a couple weeks and then they are done for the year, Its the good life for all our birds
They are healthier and happy.

We do all their work for them. The babies also benefit as they are human imprinted and the babies think they are people.
This creates the best human socialized companion baby bird possible.

Our incubation systems are the Alpha Genesis. 
These are without a question the most highly sophisticated machines in the world. We own several and have invested over $10,000 into these machines with the last machine has become the absolute dream machine and cost was $4200, this machine  and our laptops has total computerized control over the temps, humidity, egg turning, oxygen mapping, c02 mapping, cooling cycles to simulate the parent birds leaving the nest for eating, and double battery backup when power is out and so much more. These machines are controlled via upfront key pad, set it and forget it.  
Many of the incubation systems we have seen on the market today are mainly designed for the poultry industry and compared to AG are like a kids toy in our opinion. 
Most really do not even come close to whats actually needed for the PROPER incubation of parrots and other exotics eggs.That is, if you have the desire to do it right..

With our program we have been able to supply many super babies to people all across the nation. 


Our FULL health guarantee is now becoming the industry standard for excellence.
All our babies are DNA sexed, screened by the lab and each one comes with a certificate.

We no longer sell, Distribute the FEATHERLAND BIRD CAGES
and this has caused a stir in the larger professional avian community as we have supplied many trusted products to these Organazations for many years, and we are getting sometimes 10 emails daily from members from orgs such as AFA, North American Avian Society, North A.  Amazona Foundation in CANADA, Mike was invited to give a speech there last month, again, as he has for the last 10 years, some of the members wondering why we no longer supplied them with the cages as we have before and asking what cage will we be selling in the future,,we got emails from USA MACAW Breeders Org., Feather Heads Breeder Institute, 2 Miami Exotic Breeders Clubs, We actually was contacted by one of SEA WORLD Zoo Aviary Directors as to WHY? we no longer sold  the products,  He said that when they was ready to add cages to their nursery rooms he was told by several other zoos to talk to Royal Bird Company in NC about what type cages we sold or liked.  WE have sold 100's of brooders and other products to many zoos throughout the USA over the last 30 years and they know us very well..
Our customers are very loyal it seems...
I guess people care about what we say. It seems that over the last 30 years we have made quite an impression in the avian community  in the USA.
Some of the emails stated that they had purchased cages from us in the past and was ready to get another one and went to our site and saw that the cages were discontinued. And that bothered them as to why we discontinued them..and since they trusted us as many have done business with us for many years and asked what cage line will we be carrying in the future,,,,
This morning we got a call from our contact at the US Fish Wildlife Service, he purchases our metal nest boxes for the federal goverment and they needed a couple more cages and saw that we had discontinued the Featherland Stainless cages and would wait on us to see what we was going to do. They were satisfied with our service and like how we did business.
This is amazing, who would have thought that just by stop selling a product would create such a furry of questions and interest as to what we sell and what we say matters. We have supplied products to many breeders and pet owners for over 30 years, and also we have now seemed to gotten the nod from the US Federal Fish and Wildlife service since we have supplied them many products for several projects. We now are the top contract supplier to the US FISH and Wildlife service for avian products for their conservation projects, incubators,brooders, handfeeding diets,syringes,etc.  And as you might expect it is most difficult to get their attention enough that they would purchase supplies for years and trust us enough to continue with more contracts this year,
And this attention has also helped us in getting the proper documents for CITES so we could ship 5 of our baby HYACINTH macaws  this July to our good friends Dr. Habishi Alheridi III
Director ZAIRE Animal Foundation in Africa, We understand that these documents are almost impossible to obtain these days, But with good friends in Government it seems that we had no problems,,,
We welcome everyones interest in our company and breeder facility and our future. Our answer to the question why we no longer sell Featherland Cages?
Well, We have done business with Terry Gao, Caitec Corp  for over 20 years and we have purchased literally $$hundreds of thousands of dollars of products over the years. We have sold the Featherland Stainless cage for the last 8-10 years, When we started selling the cages, no one in the larger avian community knew about them, we spent $1000+ each month on advertise accounts to market the cages and were quite successful in our marketing as we were and still are number 1 and or 2 when searching for Featherland bird cages, stainless steel bird cages on google. Over the years we made several complaints about certain problems on the cages, hoping they would improve and I guess we complained too much as last year we purchased $50,000 of stainless steel cages from Caitec and we had some problems with the cages and had to return some to Caitec. After complaining about several things to Terry we were informed that we would not be able to purchase any more of the cages. So, there you have it. That was one way to stop our complaining and most likely stop a sizable stream of income for them.

We will still continue to do business with Caitec on other products and will have nothing else to say about the cages or The company. 
We will continue to sell and ONLY sell High Quality items that meet our standards.
We have been contacted by 2 large manufacture of cages interested in our business but we are not adding any imported cage lines right now as we are focusing on other projects that we can maintain and control the quality.
We still have some wheels for the Featherland Cages as well  few crocks that fit the large and small cages.
Call us if you need them.
