Welcome To Aviary Exotics
"The happiest parrots come from Hampstead"
Here at Aviary Exotics we provide each baby conure with the individualized care and love that is needed to become a happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted pet. The specialized care that each adorable baby receives assures our customers a loving pet that will bring joy and happiness to their lives for many years to come.
Handfeeding- All of our birds must get a good start in life, both nutritionally and psychologically. Each of our babies are given hand-feeding formula that is best suited to green cheek conures. we expose them to a variety of foods beginning at an early age, this allows them to explore and experiment with different tastes and textures. Our babies are weaned onto a pelleted diet, fresh fruits and vegetables, cooked rice, pastas, and nuts.
After your conure comes home- When you purchase a conure from us it doesn't have to mean our relationship is over once the bird is home. You may have questions about the adjustment period or finding a good avian vet. We'll still be here for many years to come! Also, we'd love to receive photos and videos of your feathered baby!
Fledging- What's that mean?! We believe baby birds are more confident and happier when learning how to fly before they are given their gradual wing clip. It also builds strong muscles that are important at this young age. Each of our babies can fledge naturally and will be homed with full fledge abilities. We do not condone nor reject your decision to clip flight feathers, however we will not provide this service.
For the safety of our family and the health of our animals, no visits are allowed. While this is disappointing for local adopters, it allows us to make sure your new family member is disease free. We are in coordination with the Carroll County Department of Health and hold our permit up to date. Our facility is cleaned daily to prevent common diseases that affect many aviaries.

Parrot Health & Nutrition Information
Seeds, pellets and nuts should account for no more than half of your parrot's intake. Alone, these foods will not provide adequate nutrition for your bird and deficiencies as well as ill health become more likely. The remainder of your parrot's diet should consist of grains, fruits and vegetables to give them a balanced diet. Parrots also enjoy eating "human food" however, not all are safe for them to consume.(Always have pellets such as Zupreem Fruit Blend for Cockatiel available to them at all times.)
Typical foods to feed your parrot:
Seeds & Pellets: Safflower, millets, oats, buckwheat & canary seeds. (Sunflower seeds should be given in moderation as they have high fat content).
Nuts: Almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, shelled peanuts, pecans, pistachios, walnuts.
Grains: Cooked grains such as barley, brown rice and quinoa, oatmeal.
