A report from the Science Daily Research News states that there is a real possiblity that macaw parrots could soon be extinct in the wild.

17 macaw species exist – one is extinct, one is extinct in the wild, and seven are on the endangered list.

Habitat destruction, the pet trade, and native hunting for feathers and food are leading to the decline.

The report states that despite their fame and popularity, very little is know about the habits of the bird. Studies are underway to learn more about the parrots, leading to better ways to preserve the remaining species.

Whenever I recieve an enquiry, I like to post it here to see if any bird breeders in our online community can help out. This one is a little out of the ordinary, but extremely acheivable.

I’m needing to find a particular type of bird for a photograhic shot we have coming up in November. It needs to look something like a Raven or Magpie it can’t be cuttsey or cuddley looking, it needs to have a long sharp beak if you know of someone you can put me onto that would be great.

Can anyone suggest a bird variety that would fit this description? Dose anyone have a pet Magpie that is not cutesy or cuddly? If you have a bird fitting this description please contact us and we will pass the message on. If you could suggest a species, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post.

I have started to add a few Frequently asked questions to the FAQ page.

The first few relate to the issues surrounding adding your listing. A lot of people are not adding their company name correctly. It should probably say “breeders name”,  or “listing title”, because that is what it will be used for. Unfortunately, we cannot approve any listing that doesn’t contain a proper company name. The listings must be easily searched, and a good company name is vital.

We are starting to see a few people signing up for the Breeders Market Directory. There are only a few free premium listings left, and then it will be up to you to upgrade your own listing.

To all those that have a listing – don’t forget to log into your user area and add your descriptions, images and products.

Your description lets everybody know what you do, what birds you have and any other details you want them to know.

Your images can be of anything related to your listing. It could be a photo of you, of your birds, or of your aviaries. Just follow the size guidelines.

When you have birds for sale, tell everyone about them, by adding your products. This will not only show up in your listing, but when people are searching for products for sale.

The Breeders Market Directory offers you a great way to reach buyers, and all it takes is a little bit of time to get the most out of your listing.

And Remember… If you need any help, dont hesitate to ask.
