Stella & Jack had their first clutch!

-

Stella and Jack, our pied zebra finches, had their first clutch. The three georgous babies hatched on June 18, 19, and 21. Just yesterday, the eldest ventured away from her nest, followed by her younger-by-a-day sibling. The youngest baby is still chilling in the nest, waiting for more feather coverage before she expores her surroundings.

The dotting parents are absolutely amazing, tenderly caring for their babies day and night. We supply them with fresh veggies, fruits, high quality fortified seeds, and hard-boiled eggs. Quality nutrition is essential for both the babies and the parents. Bird parenting is a very stressful job, and to minimize any impact on the birds' immune system, it is important to provide them with the best possible conditions.

It will take a few more weeks before we can tell whether the babies are males or females. We do know, however, that two are the pied mutation.

Little Angels Aviary has relocated!

We would like to announce that our aviary has relocated the majority of its operation to Southwestern Ontario. This change has been rather bittersweet for us. While we are happy to expand our finch family to SW Ontario, we are also very sad to leave  Nova Scotia behind.   We will continue to provide lifetime support for our finches sold anywhere in Canada, and also hope to keep in touch with all our finch parents, no matter where they are. We look forward to the new adventures for our flock!

But for our beloved society finch, Tulip, that is his reality. Tulip is completely blind due to old age, but that hasn't stopped him from living a happy and fulfilling life. Tulip started losing his sight about two years ago, but he adapted to his new way of life. He memorized everything in his cage and learned to navigate his surroundings using his other senses, such as hearing and touch. Despite being blind, Tulip can still perch and navigate flawlessly. It's truly amazing to see how resilient he is. It's remarkable to see how Tulip has adapted to his blindness and continues to live a happy and fulfilling life. He reminds us that even in the face of adversity, we can still find joy and meaning in our lives. Tulip is a testament to the power of resilience and the beauty of the natural wor...
