KAP AVIARY

KAP Aviaries specializes in exceptionally sweet handfed exhibition/pet cockatiels, Congo African Grey parrots and Rose Breasted Cockatoos that not only enjoy, but seek human interaction. Since we are hobby breeders we do not raise a large 'quantity' of birds as we breed for quality. Our specialized breeding program in which babies are selecively bred from Champions and Grand Champions is the foundation of our success. 

Our 1500 sq ft indoor aviary is adorned with beautiful tropical plants and soothing gurgling fountains to maintain a healthy level of humidity. The aviary has it's on ventilation system that brings in fresh air 24 hours a day.  Our birds bask in a combination of full spectrum artificial light and natural sunlight to promote healthy hormonal functioning.  Closed circuit monitoring systems allows us to keep tabs on the activity in the aviary and inside the nest boxes. It provides a unique opportunity to increase our knowledge base as we observe the breeding and parenting behaviors of our beloved Parrots and Cockatiels!

The birds are housed in large  6' x 12' flights to exercise and take part in flock behaviour. Adults and babies are exposed to all the normal sights and sounds of a very busy, noisy household. Our birds are provided with lots of attention and have many toys to play with. Once fully-feathered, babies enjoy playtime after each evening feeding and are often seen interacting with the other birds.

KAP Aviary babies are weaned to a diet of pellets,seed,fresh grains and veggies. They are also given sunflower seeds and millet spray as treats. In order to make the transition for the baby as smooth as possible we can wean to the food of your choice.

KAP Aviary is fortunate to be able to work with birds from some of the best cockatiel breeders in North America. Our foundation stock has been hand selected from famous breeders across Canada and the United States. Pedigrees include such famous names as Carl Helton, Carter Attwood, Keith Reimer, Julia Allan, Keith Jennings, Elise burgin, Linda Greeson,Don Dunn, Lyold Bailey, Bill Rau, Pam Thompson, Kathy Short, Phil Feret, Alyssandra Young and Jane Gillespie. * Please see links section for more info
