Shal's Pals
Welcome to our aviary, this is information about our flock.
We have birds of many species and
Sully & Boo
Sully and Boo, both turquoise blue, are fantastic parents. They are Cinnamon deep Turquoise Pied split Spangles, resulting in two variations of babies in appearance. Some have pied feathering in the tail feathers, while others are fully blue without pied. Kakariki, although having short attention spans, can be sweet amazing companions, living up to 20 years. Below Sully are a couple of their babies.
3 Years old Turquoise Kakariki's
Moana
8 Year old Blue-Throated Macaw
She is small for a macaw, and we are looking for a mate for her would be willing to discuss trade options for a male. So if you have an adult blue-throated macaw please send me a message.
She is a playful escape artist. She spends most of her day following us around the house, to the store, etc. She is our ambassador for new people despite her size. She is a silly sweetheart.
She loves to meet new people, and will let most pet and hold her. Any chance for scritches!
Oliver
7 Year old Guyana Toucanet
Oliver was a rescue, and will be here as a pet and our forever bird. He is not hand tame but loves to hop up onto a stick and come talk to you in the mornings. And steal my tea! Baths are a must have, and a sight to behold! He eats mostly fresh fruit and veggies. Blueberries are his favorite. His diet is a bit more complicated than other birds with as little iron and vitamin c as possible!
Zazu & Jewel
9 Year old Quaker Parrot
He is such a sweetie, loves to cuddle and play and romp around with his favorite human. Favorite foods are broccoli. Tells me every day I'm a good boy. Their male babies are blue-split ino. The girls true blue. Babies are super sweet, expecting soon. This one below is Dot -->
Kronk
9 Month old White-Bellied Caique
Kronk came to us fearful and scared. I work with him daily, and we have learned to step up. Now taking treats and stepping up, but still a bit reluctant.
He is ok with me being in his cage which is miles ahead of running into cage bars because someone was in the room. He is very sweet and playful and enjoys playing with the other members of our flock, and is more comfortable on my shoulder because he still thinks hands are a bit scary. He will get through this little at a time and become very affectionate over the next few months. ​
Bean
2025 Quaker Baby
Bean is a wild child! Like all people they all have different personalities. Bean is sweet but doesn't care for people since he loves other birds, we figured we would get him a girl. He gets to meet Cheese once she is healthy enough. Bean's parents are Zazu and Jewel.
Cheese
Lutino Quaker
Cheese has recently come into our care. She is a very sweet bird, who was under fed and very ill. With treatment she is showing signs of a full recovery. We are so happy to have her here. We are hoping to pair her with bean, if she will take him!
She likes to step up and preen our hands and call to the friends downstairs in the aviary she is not yet allowed in! (We have to ensure she will pass all her disease testing before she is allowed to interact with the flock this is important to ensure they do not get sick!
Mulan & Mushu
Blue & Blue Pallid
We have wonderful blue Quaker Parrot father with a opaline female. Babies if female it will be blue, but males will be blue, split opaline. They are sweet and snuggly just like mom. Dad will pal around with us, but isn't quite as cuddly, but his babies are amazing nonetheless!
They are nesting at the moment.
Kuzco
White Bellied Caique
Kuzco is a silly clown bird, who loves nothing more than to try and accomplish and some times successful acrobatic tricks! He likes to play, dance, sing and talk. He is the only animal we have in this house that is motivated by love not treats.
Chocolate & Chip
Opaline and Blue Quaker Parrots
Zazu and Jewel have had a beautiful baby boy (Cottonball), this little man was beautiful hand fed and ditched me when he found Q-Tip and fell in love, she is a new blood line into our aviary making. This is just fine with us! These two will be producing babies likely starting 2026:
Males: Albino or While the others appear Blue they will carry the ino gene.
Males: can also be Albino
