Letter
Hi, Just wanted to let you know that I am (trying to) raise Kakarikis! I got my first pair 3
years ago, now have 3 pairs, but so far no babies! I just got the other 2 pr and they have laid
one egg, so hopefully I will get to experience the "joys of parenthood"! I think it was you who
responded to my post about rosy bourkes, thanks. I know how to sex the normals, but have heard
it doesn't apply to the roseys. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. What types of birds do
you raise?

Great! Kaks are really cool birds and they don't even have to be handfed to become tame.
Yup it was me. I think it has something to do with the blue coloring (do rosies even have blue
coloring?). You might want to go to a bird mart and ask a vendor who has them.
Budgies, cockatiels and kakarikis. I used to breed button quail but they weren't worth the
trouble. I'm just now getting back into breeding, I couldn't last year because I was living in
the dorms. My pet birds include an Indian ringneck, green-cheek conure, a kakariki and a duck.
