Hello! Red-crowned kakariki are hatching at New Eden Avian Conservancy. Two babies have yet to be reserved. They are being hand-fed now and should be ready to go to their new homes in mid-April. Babies will be tame, taught to step up, and weaned onto a healthy diet of seed, vegetables, fruits, and sprouts. They will be closed-banded with the year, aviary name, and a unique serial number for identification purposes. Bird in photo is the mother. Both parents are normal green, a color which has become exceedingly rare in captive-bred kakariki.... (read more) Photographs of parents can be provided upon request.

We believe testing the parents for disease is important, thus the pair has been disease-tested for psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD), polyomavirus, bornavirus (PDD), psittacosis, Pacheo's disease, and bordetella avium (lockjaw). Paperwork showing proof of testing will be provided upon request.

A list of references (customers who have previously bought birds from New Eden) is also available upon request.

A $200 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a kakariki until weaning. We offer a one-week health guarantee. A full refund will be administered if the bird does not survive the first week and a certified avian veterinarian performs a necropsy and finds the cause of death to be due to disease, infection or injury incurred prior to your aquisition of the bird.
