Dear Chris,
"...I bought a baby from you about three weeks ago and we are in love. She is extremely affectionate and more.
Not only is she sweet tempered, she is also quite healthy and active. We spend hours each day cuddling and
interacting. This baby was clearly hand fed as demonstrated by her loving personality."
As for the care you provide your birds, it appears to be quite high quality. Your cages and aviaries impressed
me as sanitary and spacious. The babies were kept in warm conditions and given lots of attention. In addition,
you demonstrated knowledge of nutritional and feeding needs, as well as concern for entertainment by providing
seeds and pellets, mineral bars, cattle bones, tire, and so forth.
Perhaps most important of all, it was clear to me how much you love your birds. You knew each one intimately
and developed a unique relationship with him or her. You made sure as best you could that the new owner and
the baby bird would have a similar loving relationship. You ensured that I had time to get in know my new baby,
you even went so far as to encourage me to come and visit several times with the baby before taking her home.
In other words, it appeared to me that you did everything in your power to see to the health and happiness of your
birds both while in your care and when in their new homes.
To me, you are the ideal breeder because you have obviously given so much of yourself to the birds in your care.
Any buyer who goes through you is lucky to have your expertise and genuine care on his or her side."
Sincerely,
Maha Silva
