About the Nursery
These guys are sooooo tiny! Our nursery page will showcase babies that are too young to be made available, but everyone is always asking for updates on what’s happening in the love nest! Our nursery is reserved for Breeder’s Choice: Polly’s Little Crackers have 20+ years of birdy experience, but until now, we’ve always worked with other breeders and their flocks! So, many of our 2021 breeders are first generation parents in our flock. Because of that, our nursery babies are held for Breeder’s Choice. This means they aren’t made available until after they’ve weaned. This let’s the babies mature just enough for us to decide which birds we will…
“Cookie”
7/24: Nursery babies are starting to get their colors! We’ve nicknamed this one “Cookie”. Tiny little blue colored feathers starting to show on his/her tummy, too. Sooo cute. Between 2-3 weeks old. (Baby of Penguin & Noel)
Society Finch
Status: AVAILABLE. We love society finch! Super friendly aviary birds. Have you ever seen a small flock of finch stuff themselves into one tiny nest until they look like one giant ball of feathers with ten beaks? You will with…
“Digger”
This little bird’s family name is Frost, but he soon earned the name Digger! As a new chick, Digger was always nose down in the baby bucket, digging to bottom until he was buried. Wood chips were thrown across the…
“Falcor”
Falcor looks just like his/her mother. Teal and white body with charcoal colored wings. Falcor is a sneaky baby, but with majority handfeeding.
“Jellybean”
This little guy is super tiny! Bar far the smallest budgie we’ve had born in our flock to date. He/she is very mellow. Jellybean is being watched carefully for any developmental delays, and will not be made available at this…
“Loki”
Once upon a time, there was a family of rainbow birds who had a large clutch of babies. Mama-bird became overwhelmed. The smallest baby was the only blue child, and for whatever reason, Mama and Dada decided that he was…
“Snow”
Both of Snow’s parents are clearwing budgies, and his/her mother is mostly yellow. When both their clear genes come together into one blue/white-based bird, you get Snow! When Snow puffs up, he looks like a little cloud sitting on a…
“Blueberry”
Blueberry is in no hurry to wean. He/she is a tiny little TANK. If birds could be described as “body builders”, then Blueberry would take gold. And boy, can he EAT. Blueberry is a stunning violet factor blue budgie, just…
“Hawkeye”
This beautiful clear-wing, recessive pied budgie is the oldest in his/her clutch. We just love how he reminds us of a mini (and very colorful) bird-of-prey. So Hawkeye has set the big-bird themed names for his and his future siblings!…
“Violet”
Violet was an unexpected color from his/her parents. This violet gray base and gray-wing marks was unique to her clutch. (Her mother is yellow and her father is a blue-based rainbow!) Violet was a Sneaky Baby, but has a very…
“Biggie”
Somewhat independent, Biggie was the oldest in his clutch from Big Mama (our Eng. Budgie mix duo). He is a recessive pied mutation with a type2 yellow face, which gives his feathers an ivory appearance compared to the other white-pieds.…
“Dusty”
Dusty loves the camera! He/she was born to Big Mama and Popples (our partial English Budgie duo). Dusty is very gentle, but also has a drive to be with other birds. Now that they are older, her clutch-mate, Biggie, is…
THE FLOCK
The majority of our flock is, by far, made up of budgies! But their rainbow plumage isn’t the only thing that have caught our love. At various times in the year, we also breed Bourke parakeets, English budgies, canaries, society…
