Click here to see the video of Jasper who is only 3 months old. Brad has taught Jasper all these tricks in a very short time. We are very happy with the parrotlet we purchased from Linda. It's very obvious to us that she does a great job of raising the babies from when they are hatched. Our little guy was obviously used to people and was very comfortable with the whole family after only a little while. He's full of personality, friendly and a joy to have around. He loves to spend time with his family and there is no doubt that this is due to the way Linda cares for her babies. Even after we took him home, Linda was always very willing to answer any questions we had about him. We highly recommend "Linda's Parrotlets."

I bought Nemo from Linda in September 2006. He is a real sweetie although can be quite bossy at times. He’s not afraid of anything, not even of some of the larger pets around the house. He’s full of personality, loves everybody in the house, and has brought me tons of entertainment and laughter. Recently, he has learned to imitate sounds really well and can even say “step up” in that little robotic voice of his. I’m trying to help him expand his vocabulary now. He was my first bird and is just so fun to be around with. Everyone who comes over always comments on how beautiful and spoiled he is. All in all, I had an excellent experience – both bird and breeder alike!”

This is where Pippin and Beanie live. As you can see I have put a few branches inside for them to climb on and chew on. The coconut that is hanging in there is where they sleep at night. As the clock nears 9 pm or if I turn out the lights they head for their little bedroom.

In the evening as the clock approaches 6pm Beanie starts to chirp then if I go into the kitchen he flies in and lands on the play area and waits for dinner. I give them some veggies they like peas, broccoli, and sprouts.

Beanie likes to hang upside down and reach for food his food. This is apparently a natural way for Parrotlets to eat; we all found it very amusing when they did this.. After a nap they usually get busy, they both start climbing around the cage exploring from the floor all the way up to the ceiling.

They like to explore but are never far from their cage, or other bird areas in the house. One evening I came back into the room and I didn’t see them so I called, “birdies where are you?” No they didn’t answer, they were both resting on top of the thermostat right beside the cage. They’d never been there before so I wasn’t looking for them there.

Hi there! It's been several days since I got the bird from you! She was very shy and still is! She's learning though and getting very accustomed to our home. I haven't given her a name yet, because I don't know her personality yet.  Thank you again so much for raising such a wonderful parrotlet! Oh, and she loves her tent. However, instead of sleeping in it, she sleeps on top of it! It's really weird! So, anyway, once I get my camera working I'll show pictures of her in her new cage. Thanks again, and if I have any problems, I'll be sure to know who to ask.

WOW Linda,
They look amazing!!!! Everything went well. You did an EXCELLENT job with the shipping crate! We are so impressed, thank you so much! We will let you know how they do over the next few days. Thank you again soooo much!

Hi Linda,
I just wanted to thank you again for our little charmer Pacific Blue Parrotlet - his name is Blueberry Timbit, and he has definitely become a large part of our family...chatty and curious - needs to be in the middle of everything that happens around the house. He spends little time in his cage, and prefers riding around on shoulders. He gives kisses and flies to my finger if I call him. He comes with me to work, and visits with the children - they all love him too! You most certainly did a wonderful job raising him - a big Thank You!
Now my teaching staff want to get their own parrotlet...ha ha! I know you had a yellow male there when I picked Timbit up - is that a common colour (I haven't seen any yellow ones before), and will you have any more of that colour in the next few months you think? I think Miss Hanna would like a male as well...
Thanks again Linda

Hi Linda:
Just thought I would give you a little update on Molly as she is nearly 4 months old. She has been with me for two months now and what a little sweetheart she is. I take her out of her cage and into the den where it is just her and I for private time. Her new trick is to fly towards me with her feet extended like an eagle. She grabs onto the bridge of my glasses and dangles down my nose. She thinks she's being funny. I let her dangle there a minute before moving her. You can only have so many feathers up your nose. Thanks again for allowing me to purchase her. She is a delight.

I also wanted to thank you for breeding such healthy babies. I have had no problems with Molly and Nigel and both are active robust birds bursting with energy and curiosity. There is also no problem with them eating their "veggies" and "fruits". You obviously exposed them to a wide variety of foods. Thanks to your great customer service, I know where I will be getting my next parrotlet.

Hi Linda,
Everyone is doing great. Llewys is a real sweetheart, she is on my shoulder as I type. You were right, as soon as I got her home, she didn't want to be off my finger or shoulder. She is a big hit with everyone that has met her...even non bird lovers.

Hi Linda:
Re: Skyler’s first vet check and ride home.
Everything went great! Skyler was fairly well-behaved for the vet (only a little nippy - considering the indignity of the examination) and she was very happy with his condition, and everyone was most impressed with his colouring. Dr. Schild trimmed his wings a little more (to keep him grounded for now), and all his vitals were normal. Next check-up will be in one year. She recommended "Harrison's" organic pellets (not widely available, but we got some at the Langley PetSmart Pet Hospital) and Nekton-S vitamins (only available through Vets).

Skyler was not stressed by the car-ride, he just sat and preened and nibbled millet. Occasionally, he squeaked and David raised up the carrier, so he could watch the scenery go by. He is settling in at home nicely. He's met our son, and been introduced to the play-gym and to his cage. Just a few minutes ago, David read aloud to him before we "tucked" him in for the night (he was soooooo tired). Now, all is quiet and we won't disturb him until late morning. Everything seems to be going just fine.

I'll send a picture of him (on his play-gym) once he's gotten used to us and his new environment. Thank you again for such a beautiful little boy.
Sincerely,
Dianne & David


Dear Linda,
I just wanted to write you a quick letter to let you know that the parrotlets are doing wonderful. They had no problem adjusting to anything, and are getting sweeter and sweeter by the day. Kamiko (Miko for short) is the boy, and Mina is the girl. They definitely love each other very much, and cuddle and preen each other every chance they get. The kids love them, and Cary is more attached than I thought he would be. The dogs also, are intrigued by the birds, and will sit in front of the cage silently watching them for hours. I couldn't be happier, and they have fast become a part of our family.
Thank you again so much for everything that you have done, and for all of your time.  
Sincerely,
Danielle, Kamloops, B.C.


The first time I saw a parrotlet in a pet store I fell in love. I had never heard of them and headed to the internet to do some research. After reading more about them, my husband and I decided it sounded like the perfect pet for us. I wanted to buy directly from a breeder who handfed, and found Linda through the Canadian Bird Breeders website. A few days later, I was on a waiting list for a little Blue Pacific male, and Linda kept me updated by e-mail with pictures and stories during the weaning process. When he arrived by plane a month or so later, those little chirps coming from his shipping crate melted my heart. He has settled in well, or taken over our household completely, depending on how you look at it!

He loves to be where ever I am, snuggled up napping on the couch, or on my shoulder while I'm at the computer. He even showers with me on his own little perch! He also enjoys bathing in wet spinach leaves, he opens his wings and runs through them like a child playing 'air plane'.
 
His vocabulary of sounds is growing steadily, and he has picked up quite a few in his seven months with us, including hilarious wolf-whistles, microwave 'beeps' and a tendency to sound like our leaky faucet.

He is able to entertain himself well on the days I am at work or when I'm gone for the day, as long as he has a small fortune in toys that he can shred to keep him occupied. He can hear my keys in the lock and I am always greeted with plenty of chirps and whistles as he waits for his 'I'm home!' snuggles. I could go on and on. I had no idea just how unique these little birds are, and am so glad we made the decision to get one. I would recommend one to anyone looking for a smaller bird with a gigantic personality, as you will not be disappointed. The saying goes 'betcha can't have just one', and it's true. As soon as we have a bit more space we are looking forward to adding another!"

Linda,
Just saw your new site and WOW, I love it!! The colorful Parrotlets against the black background is amazing! It's by far the prettiest bird site I've ever seen. And all the pictures are too cute! I can't say enough good things about it, LOL. You did a good job!

Anyway, I'm always on the look-out for new toys for Nemo and I noticed that you'll be selling toys soon. I'd love to buy some off you when they become available -- please drop me an e-mail to let me know then
Thank you!

Our pride and Joy, Chico is possibly the most loved Parrotlet in the country. He has a wonderful and affectionate personality, always wanting to be close to us.  He loves to chew paper and spends lots of his time with us watching television and climbing around his playgym and cage. He is 4 months old and a pleasure to own. Every day is something new. Either a new chirp, or new and adventurous, playful activities!
Chico brings us lots of joy and turns a bad day into a good day just with his cute mannerisms. From the first little chirp he lets out when he hears the key in the front door, it’s impossible to not to smile.
Did I mention that he LOVES head scratches? It’s like his whole life revolves around searching for the ultimate head scratch! He also loves to have his beak massaged. If given the chance he would sit there for hours getting a head scratch.
We often take our 'son' into the shower with us. He loves to sit in the warm shower and once he is in there it’s hard to get him back out again. Chico is also becoming toilet trained and is getting better at talking with "Chico" and "pizza" the two words he is working on the most.
Thanks Linda

Hi Linda
Regis is the the baby parrotlet we purchased from you on the 24th March 2007. This is our third parrotlet and is by far and away the friendliest and most social. He is in excellent health, totally energetic and he loves to play. We have no doubt that your expertise in hand raising your birds is the reason we now have an outstanding pet. Our only regret is that we hadn't met you sooner. It is with great enthusiasm that we recommend to anyone who wants a parrotlet that there is no better place than yours.
With thanks and kindest regards,
Ian, Vancouver, B.C.

My little green Parrotlet Koolaid is 2 1/2 months old now, and is already starting to talk! He says it quite quickly but you can tell he's saying a human word. He says "kiss kiss" and "good boy." He was chasing after the budgie while saying "kiss kiss." I hope he just wanted to say hi!
I purchased a playgym recently as well, and he likes to hang out on it and chat to himself while I'm busy resting on the couch. But the minute I call his name, he flys over to me to sit on my shoulder to eat my hair. He also loves to snuggle inside my hair and fall asleep.
Everyone just loves Koolaid! They love his color and cute mannerisms. They especially think it's so adorable how he fluffs his feathers to be scratched when I say "scratch scratch" even though I think you trained him that first :) He's also very good with eating his veggies, and just starting to eat some fruit. And of course, he always comes over to try and take a peek at what I'm eating too. He's brought a lot of enjoyment to me and everyone that he meets in the last couple months. I know you're doing such a great job with raising these parrotlets to be tame and maintain their cuteness factor 110%. I'm very glad I bought him from you. Thanks again!

Vancouver B.C. to St.John's Newfoundland is a long way for a small bird! You cannot get farther apart within Canada. However, thanks to the obvious care for the wellbeing of the baby parrotlet, the flight was a success. The green pacific parrotlet was sent with plenty of food and water, and even some little pieces of apple and spray millet. The little girl is very sweet and tame, and enjoyed being scratched on the head as soon as she arrived. Also, she understood right away to hop up on my finger when it was place near her. I had a male parrotlet already, and they were getting along very well right away when i introduced them to one another. Linda definitely loves these little birds very much, and you can see this because of how docile they are. Aside from the bird, the service was great. Within 24 hours of paying for the parrotlet, it was on a flight and on its way across Canada. I couldn't be more pleased overall. Thanks again Linda, and you can count on hearing from me if I am interested in getting another variety in the future.
Best regards,
Jeremie, St. John's, Newfoundland
