Handraising feathered family members in Plymouth, MN
Hello everyone! My name is Anna Kai. I'm a bird enthusiast from Plymouth, MN. Several years ago I moved to Minnesota from Europe, bringing my passion with me overseas: companion birds.
I handraise several parrot species: Lineolated Parakeets, Cockatiels, and Bourke's Parakeets. I believe these species make the best feathered companions, especially when raised in a loving environment!

Lineolated Parakeets
Next nesting − spring 2027
Adorable little birdies native to South America. They are considered apartment-friendly due to the low noise level. Some (like Jade!) are great talkers. Loving and very calm when hand raised.
Possible offspring:
Green, Lutino, Turquoise, Creamino

Lineolated Parakeets
Next nesting − spring 2027
Our second pair of lineolated parakeets. Sputnik comes from two green split turquoise parents and Laika's dad is a green bird as well, ensuring that this pair has healthy offspring.
Possible offspring:
Turquoise, Cobalt

Lineolated Parakeets
Next nesting − spring 2027
Fog is a richly colored cobalt male, while Hedgehog is a sweet and steady single factor dark green hen.
Possible offspring:
Green, Turquoise, Dark Green, Cobalt, Olive, Mauve

Cockatiels
Next nesting − fall 2026
This well-known Australian species makes a wonderful family addition for first-time bird parents. They're extremely friendly and gentle and may be good at mimicking noises and whistles.
Possible offspring:
Normal/ Pastel Face/ White Face
+ Cinnamon, Pearl, Pied

Cockatiels
Next nesting − fall 2026
Our second pair of cockatiels known for producing chicks with impressively big crests.
Possible offspring:
White Face/ Cream Face Pied
+ ♀Pearl

Cockatiels
New pair
This pair is part of our long-term project developing strong, well-marked pied lines. Nimbus was hatched and hand-raised here in our aviary.
Possible offspring:
White Face/ Cream Face Pied
+ possibly ♀Pearl

Bourke's Parakeets
Next nesting − spring 2027
These bright pink parakeets look almost unreal. Their unique coloration originates from Central Australia where they blend in with the reddish soil. They're the most laid-back birds you can dream of, very friendly and quiet as well.
Possible offspring:
♂ Rosy
♀Rubino

Bourke's Parakeets
Next nesting − fall 2026
Our second pair of Bourke’s parakeets is truly striking. Jasper lives up to his name with his bright plumage accented by streaks of green and blue. Flare, a lutino hen, complements him beautifully.
Possible offspring:
♂ Normal
♀Rosy, "Rainbow" Rosy

Bourke's Parakeets
Next nesting − spring 2027
Both Onyx and Amber were hatched in our aviary and selected to stay as part of our breeding program. They are exceptionally sweet birds with a great color potential. We’re excited to see the babies they will produce together!
Possible offspring:
Normal, Rosy, Lutino, Rubino
