We no longer breed and sell birds!

 
 
 
John and Cindy Hollingshead
have closed a chapter in their lives. We are moved the last of our wonderful birds to their new home and we are on to new adventures.
Thank you all for a wonder 30 years of breeding birds and working with bird lovers form all over the world.
With fond memories,
Cindy & John
