Eclectus and African Grey parrots for

are certified as pure sub-species by
world-renowned Eclectus authorities. We
specialize in:
Biak Island Eclectus(Eclectus roratus biaki)
Solomon Island Eclectus(Eclectus roratus
solomonensis)
New Guinea Eclectus(Eclectus roratus
polychloros),
aka the Redsided Eclectus
Parrot
Avian
Elites will gladly answer any
questions concerning the parrots we
breed. If you have questions about other
species or sub-species, we will
cheerfully refer you to another
knowledgeable professional breeder
specializing in what you're looking for.
We are happy
to show off our fully disease-tested
aviary facilities, however, it is the
policy of Avian Elites not to
allow visitors into the breeding and
nursery rooms. Visitors can be a source
of contamination and a change in routine
can be upsetting. We do this to protect
the breeder pairs (who may be laying,
sitting or feeding), as well as the
babies being hand-fed (due to their
immature immune system). This not only
protects our birds, but also your future
pet!
A NEW POLICY & A WARNING
I am sorry to announce as of January 1, 2010,
Avian Elites will no longer be accepting credit cards or Pay Pal for
payment. I am very sorry for this action, but we have been scammed by 2
different individuals using credit card methods and through the Pay Pal
website. I guess nowadays people are able to use credit cards, receive their
items and then they are able to contact their credit card companies to stop
the transactions. Thus, they keep their items and their money. So again, I
am sorry, but the only way to protect my family is to stop accepting these
payment methods altogether. We will still continue to accept postal money
orders or cash when baby parrots, breeders or items are picked up.
I am also going to add the two persons names and information of the two that
scammed us, so that everyone is aware to be very careful doing business with
these folks. If they do this once, I guarantee they will do it again to
someone else. If anyone else has been scammed by these people, please
contact me as I do have more info that state laws do not allow me to post
over the internet about these folks.
1st- Rory Thacker from E. University BLVD Dallas Texas - Rory Thacker
purchased a few breeder pairs of parrots, paid using his credit card through
Pay Pal. Received the pairs and then contacted his credit card company to
cancel the transaction. Rory also uses Delta Airlines shipping into Dallas
Fort Worth Airport.
2nd- Mike Byelick website-
www.md-savannah-cats.com Email Address-
mikeb@mdcigars.com Mike Byelick is
from Yuma, Arizona 85367. Mike bought a Lyons Intensive Care Unit off of me,
that he paid for by a credit card and through Pay Pal website. He claimed to
his credit card company approximately a month after receiving the Intensive
Care Unit that he never made the purchase at all. Luckily, I keep all emails
for all transactions to prove he is a liar along with UPS shipping
documents.
Thank you for everyone's understanding in this matter.

HELP A GREAT CAUSE - GET A TAX BREAK!
The Eclectus Group is sponsoring a conservation
project in Indonesia to provide nest logs and reforestation activities to
help conserve the rare cornelia eclectus...the one where the female is all
red except for her wing primaries. The habitat on Sumba has been restricted
to the few forested areas remaining, primarily on hilly sites that are not
desirable for farmland. This restriction of habitat has resulted in the
eclectus parrots having to compete for nest sites with other eclectus pairs
and also with the citron crested cockatoos. Our trip to Sumba allowed us to
witness this competition first hand, as two pair of eclectus and one pair of
citrons all wanted the same nest hole.
We are able to have nest logs made to order, shipped by boat to Sumba,
carted into the forest and hauled up high into the trees for $100. each. So,
we are looking for people to donate ANY amount they can to this worthwhile
project. Donations are tax deductible because they are handled by a 501 c 3
organization, ABC, Advocates for Bird Conservation. See
www.abcbirdconservation.org The ABC site has a link to PayPal. People can
use Paypal and send money thru that means, or by check made out to ABC and
with accompanying information that it is for the project and mail to ABC %
L. Desborough, P O Box 2552, Middleburg, FL 32050. Every bit makes a
difference.
In early January we will be sending out letters for use with the IRS that
note the donation for tax purposes.
