Additional Comments

We have parent fed Normal Bourke's Parakeets from three different sets of parents. These are the wild Australian color and all were hatched and raised in our home. They are gentle, quiet birds familiar with all usual household noises. Their clutches all included siblings of several other colors. The natural wild color is the healthiest and most active of the Bourke's Parakeets. Unlike Rosies or other Bourke hues, Normal colored males exhibit a small line of blue feathers over their cere (nostrils) so their sex can be determined once they are mature....

Bourke Parakeets are our specialty. We've raised many other small exotics, and now focus on our favorite, the Bourke Parakeet. We raise many colors, including Opaline Rosy Bourkes, Pinks, Normals (wild color), red-eyed Lutinos and Rubinos, as well as Opaline Fallows with red eyes. Many might be split to other colors, producing beautiful mixed clutches. We often have hand-fed babies available too. All youngsters are healthy and raised indoors around people and household noises, leaving them calm and interactive--even those that are parent-fed.... (read more) It helps that the parent birds are very tame as well. All young birds are banded with our initials (EGL), the state (OR), year of hatch, and their own specific, sequential number.
