Although we raise German Shepherds we enjoy and love all animals.
 

We thought it would be nice to add a Parrot page to our site for everyone to enjoy!

We own 2 beautiful Hawk-headed Parrots, Ruby & Diego.

 They both have been with us and were hand raised since they were just a few weeks old.

Anyone ever seeing a hawk-headed parrot, will always say, "they will take your breath away". They surely do, there really is none more magnificent, in the parrot family.

 

 Hawk-headed parrots (Deroptyus accipitrinus) are magnificent birds from South America, commonly called the Brazillian Hawk-Head. These Parrots are excitable and dramatic. Hawk-heads are excellent companions for the experienced bird keeper. These highly intelligent parrots are very affectionate and many are excellent talkers.  Hawk-heads are active and a cage full of toys IS a must for these birds.

Hawk Head Profile

Hawk-head Parrots are very unique. The elegant feathers of rich maroon edged in electric blue,
form a crown of glory which frames the entire head. The hawk-heads beauty does not stop there. The crown of color extends down the back of the head circling the neck and extends down the
entire belly. These rich colors frame the face of sable brown flecked with champaign.
The wings, back, and tail sport a rather contrasty emerald green.
 Life Span 30 Years.
