Hi there! I’m Shane, a lifelong avian enthusiast with 40 years of feathers, chirps, and joy under my wing. From rehabilitating injured hawks to raising chatty parrots, birds have been my teachers, companions, and endless source of wonder. Over the decades, I’ve shared my home with dozens of feathered friends—parakeets, cockatiels, macaws—but my heart truly belongs to conures. Their fiery personalities, rainbow plumage, and knack for mischief never fail to brighten my day! This site is my way of sharing the wisdom I’ve gathered—from nurturing baby chicks to creating bird-friendly gardens—so you can build deeper bonds with these incredible creatures. Whether you’re a first-time bird parent or a seasoned birder, let’s explore the avian world together! Fun Fact: My very first pet was a rescued green-cheeked conure named Mango… and the rest is history! 🦜 Birds are not hobbies—they’re family.
