You've got to see it to believe it!
The Trained Alexandrines have been performing faithfully for 15 years here at Parrots In Paradise, and prior to that we traveled all over for 5 years.
They have happily worked for many bus groups and visitors over the years. In that time we used positive reinforcement, rewarding them with praise and treats after a trick. Our parrots were never punished when they did not perform.
Knowing the birds are having a ball is great fun for the young and old. The bird's ability to solve puzzles and evidence of cognitive thought has to be seen to be believed.
But time has taken it's toll on not only the parrots but also on the humans.
So it was decided to do one final show for a professional vidographer in order to capture all of the show in spite of our losing one of our parrot team to a stroke and another to cataracts.
The Videographer was able to cobble in the missing performers tricks thanks to old videos.
So now when you visit you get the show in it's entirety. Nothing is missed.
We can do nothing about Lena who was taken by the stroke. But Kelele, who has cataracts will, once he is fully blind, will be given an eye operation, because this bird gave faithfully of himself for 20 years, and he will likely live at least the same again, so he deserves to be able to see in that time. So we are saving to get the $4000 for his operation.

Papua New Guinea roratus polychloros
The Standard Native Animal Keeping licence is all that is required and costs around $65.00. For 5 years, so you renew in 5 years. Don't quote me on the price as this seems to change regularly.
BUT you are NOT allowed to breed on this licence.
It pays to register online when getting your licence.
Remember the baby you are buying is no different from a 2 year old child and really needs to be treated in much the same way. In the wild, Mum and Dad would do everything necessary to teach their young to survive and thrive.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
Many breeders sell parrots without making clear that, while these birds make fantastic companions, it is through the youngster period they are at their best. When the bird reaches adulthood the problems that come are simple, yet can be devastating.
Humans invented celibacy for humans. We are not able to neuter parrots, so when parrots reach sexual maturity they need to breed.
If the bird has been brought up in a
loving caring family without any feathered companions the chances are
this bird most likely thinks it is a human. This is called imprinting.
Sadly this results in parrots becoming hormonal, stressed and in some cases aggressive. It can start plucking or even try to mate with a human. It is at this point some members of the family start to find the bird difficult to live with.
It is not long before the poor bird is sent to spend more and more hours
in its cage, or is found a new home. Sadly it is by this time that the bird's brain is so messed up that it is no good for breeding.
The point is if you are thinking of getting a parrot for company, then please give a thought to its future and factor in a partner at some point, well before the bird reaches maturity. You'll get twice as much affection and will have a well rounded and contented Parrot.
