Lisa,
I wanted to take the time to drop you a line and let you know how thankful I am to have found you. You care for your clients just as good as you take care of your birds. Your birds are beautiful healthy and friendly due to all of your efforts. I would give my highest recommendation to anyone thinking of buying one of Lisa's beautiful pets.
Thank You for all you did.

Oh Lisa, thought i'd send you a progress report and a few pictures of the little green and yellow budgie i got from you a couple weeks ago. We LOVE Jack--his little personality is so charning and amusing. Everyone who has the pleasure of holding him, or watching him do his lovable "tricks" says they want a budgie just like him. Who knows, maybe some of my friends will contact you--i've certainly told enough people about you.

Jack likes to be "swept" by the broom--no lie--and when i stop that, he chases the broom away, running after it as long as i keep sweeping.

The most endearing thing about him is how he likes to lie down (!!) to nap in the crook of Art's arm or in my lap or in our fists. It's absolutely sweet.

And the most outrageous thing, and what makes us laugh right out loud, is how he bathes. I have a little plate with a lip on it that i put in the kitchen sink under a dribble of water. He USED to love to splash around in that dish, under the drips, but just two days ago, he tried something that scared me to death. He was sitting on my shoulder as i rinsed out the sink with a full spray. He jumped into the sink and stood right under the spray, immediatley drenching himself. I shut off the water, thinking he would drown. He went nuts, scolding me and sqawking like i spoiled his day. So i turned the water back on and he stood there, wet to the bone.

Weird weird little thing--and we just adore him. Keep up the good work with your breeding, Lisa. Jack is truly the nicest bird we've ever owned. AND i think he's going to be blue-green...his new feathers are coming in and they are gorgeous.

I attached a few pix ...he's sleeping with Art, in each pic... And oh! i forgot to tell you, we took him along on a road trip to southern utah--he LOVES travelling--good cause we do lots of it.

Thanks so much for this adorable bird--I never thought anything could replace our beloved cat.

Lisa,
If you only knew what you've started! We are the proud family of 3 of your amazing birds (and see more in our future!)
Lola, our beautiful Pied Peachface Lovebird believes she rules the house! What she lacks in size she makes up for in 'spunk'! Her favorite activities include her own version of soccor with her jingle ball and the dizzying loops she does around her perches. She has been a delight.

Oscar our White Bellied Caique and second addition from you is the most amazing guy! He does so well with our 5 year old Daughter Marissa, dancing and playing her with all day long. He is so patient with her as she interacts with him, and has the most amazing personality. Oscar loves to hang upside down while out and being held. It is also common to find him hanging onto a toy by one foot upside down, while using the other foot to grab food out of his bowl and eat it, still while staying upside down! He always has us laughing with his antics (sliding around the bottom of his cage on his back, dancing, standing on his head in his food bowl etc).
Oscar is so affectionate and takes so easily to visitors to our home. We constantly have to make sure they are not trying to smuggle him out the door since many have fallen completely head over heels for him and threatened to do so! I have been surprised with Oscar's talking abilities since I never expected a Caique to talk, his clarity has improved and his vocabulary is getting larger! He also has my cell phone ring perfectly mimic'd and I find myself looking for my phone throughout the day only to find a smiling bird instead! Oscar is so cuddly and loving, he really loves to be held and scratched on. We think he is such a gem!

Pookie, our Pacific Parrotlet and third addition from you is the cutest little guy! He is tiny but full of personality! He also is so good with our small children. Pookie loves to be cuddled and is content to fall asleep in our hands or against us. He loves to play games (like peek a boo) and is also totally happy to just sit on a shoulder for hours at a time.

It is obvious to us and everyone who meets our amazing trio of birds that you are absoloutly the best at what you do. You raise not only stunningly beautiful Parrots, but more importantly- incredible little family members. The joy that these birds have brought to our home is absoloutly remarkable! You can count on us coming back for more of the amazing babies you produce! Thank you for taking the time to create such lovely family members for us and always being such a wealth of knowledge! We appreciate you more than you know.
Much love and respect,
Emily from Provo, Utah
Just a note to thank you for the green English parakeet I bought from you about 3 weeks ago, I really am enjoying her, she already says pretty bird, and whistles that whistle you would do at a pretty girl. she loves to be up under my hair when I sit and watch TV and I can cup her in one hand and scratch her neck, around her eyes and under the beak, she and I are pretty good pals, my husband even likes having a parakeet around that is nice, and is not mean. My grand daughters call her tweedy, she I think that will probably be her name. Again I want to thank-you for our sweet parakeet. She is starting to be quite a little character. I plan to keep your number handy, and will surely highly recommend you to others. Thanks again always........ Cindee from Kaysville, Utah.
 
I wanted to send you a note to thank you for the linnie you sold us. Little Zuzu is a loving member of our human flock. He speaks a few words and some phrases and loves his time out. Thanks for the little birdie.

Lisa, just had to update you on the little girl I got from you.  She has been the best classroom pet ever!  What a personality she has!  I was a little worried about the adjustment from home to school with 23 little adoring bodies, but she loves being at school!  She has full roam as long as students are at their seats, (and she makes good use of that time...attacking pencils, crayons, and any paper left on the floor).  If things get a little hectic all I have to do is "cluck" to her and tap the floor and she finds me and comes running.  I can keep her on my shoulder much of the day and she isn t a distraction to the learning.  At the end of the day we are both ready to go home. Initially I was worried about transporting her in the cold, but I put a hand towel over her and put her on my chest.  She is a perfect little lump until uncovered.  Not only has she adapted to the classroom setting, she has done well in my very hectic home.  Thank you SO much for the work you do with your babies before sending them out into the world!  She is an absolute doll! (My son dubbed her "Princess Leia", and he is wanting to get a "Han Solo"!)

Thank you again!

Hey Lisa,

I just thought that I would give you a quick update on Cooper.

The longer he is here the more everyone loves him.  He is doing very well and is totally settled into our life style.  Both of my parents love to come home from work and get him out and play with him because he is such a goof ball.

Thanks again for an awesome little guy!

Hi Lisa,
Where do we begin to thank you for such a wonderful experience?!  We are SO happy with our new baby linnie, Starly. She is beautiful, adorable, sweet, curious, playful, and just a great little bird.  Shipping was NO problem for her....she seems to have taken the journey in stride and stepped out of her carrier with confidence, and curiosity. Didn't seem stressed at all! She had lots of food, fruit, millet, and a comfy perch, and seemed very happy and relaxed in her carrier.  She has been a joy already to us, with her endearing personality, little beeping noises, and friendly little nature.  You did an awesome job of raising her...she seems so confident and comfortable and ready to explore her new home!  And, we so appreciate all you did to get her to us...you went above and beyond, to get her across the country to us as quickly, safely, and smoothly as possible.  Also, we LOVED all the emails, photos and updates about our baby as we waited for her to be ready to come home. You were AWESOME about communicating, and making us feel a part of her life, before we even met her.  This whole experience has been a wonderful, exciting, and thrilling one for us, and we cant thank you enough for helping us to bring our dream birdie into our family.  She will be loved and cherished here for her whole life.  And, I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know who is looking for a friendly, healthy, well socialized companion bird to join their family.  Thanks again...you are the best!!

Lisa from the get-go has been a true pleasure to deal with, even though we re on opposite ends of the country.  She has been super responsive and helpful through the entire process.  We received our new baby girl White Bellied Caique and couldn t be happier with little Bella.  When I picked her up at the airport she looked relaxed and was chomping away on one of the many treats Lisa shipped her with.  After getting her home, you would have never guessed watching her wander about that it was her first day in a new home, much less a new state!   I honestly feel this has everything to do with the way Lisa takes care of her birds and Bella would not be this well socialized and willing to explore. 

Bella is most definitely a sweetheart of a baby, she s very gentle, knows how to step up and down, and she truly wants to be around us. 

This was our first time getting a bird shipped and Lisa really took care of us and Bella! I would reccomend Lisa without reservation, if you re thinking of getting any breed of bird Lisa has, you should definitely get in contact with her!  

Happy to have Bella as post of our family!

We love love love our little Linnie! He has made himself very comfortable at our home and is one of the biggest cuddle bugs. He will roll his head back and forth just to make sure you don't miss anywhere he needs scratching.  He is also so patient with my children as they try to get him to play with every single one of his toys at once.  Things are great and we are starting to understand his little needs when he wants to play, or be left alone to relax.   I'm so glad we found you! We will keep you updated and are looking forward to someday adding to our flock.
