All of the Happy Birds were hatched and raised in the United States, and never taken from wild. The birds were raised with love and compassion.  Great care is  given to assure the heath and happiness of our friends. The Happy Birds diet consist of Harrison's Bird Diet, organically grown fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts (no peanuts). Their housing area is cleaned daily. Each bird receives daily fresh filtered water and food bowls filled with leafy greens supplemented with fruits and other vegetables...corn on the cob is their favorite! The Happy Birds dishwasher is in constant use to sanitize their food and water bowls. Our methods of training are encouraging; never forced. The birds are never harmed, abused or "made" to do anything. Anyone that has had a parrot in their life knows that they are strong willed and can not be forced into something they don't want to do.  They are trained with positive reinforcement (and a lot of patience :-).

Parrots are extremely intelligent and complex creatures. They need mental stimulation. In the wild, they would spend a good part of their day looking and foraging for food. Domestically raised birds also need mental and physical stimulation to assure good health. They do not possess the correct environment, skills or need for searching for meals since everything is provided for them. At Happy Birds, all of the birds have the opportunity to learn behaviors both natural and trained, which stimulate and enhance their daily life. Teaching and training gives the parrots a sense of purpose for good mental and physical health.
