We pride ourselves on the work we do with our birds. Both our domestic species and our non-native species are housed in the best possible conditions. We occasionally do tours of the facility, if you are interested in a tour, please contact us by e-mail at one of the above addresses.
In this site you will find:
- Updated lists of species and breeds we are keeping and working with.
- Articles on numerous species we have worked with.
