The Philosophy of the Sanctuary
Cape Parrots are one of the most endangered parrot species in South Africa. We breed them with conservation values — carefully, selectively, and with the health of the species in mind. Each baby placed is an ambassador for a bird the world needs to know better.
-
/
Conservation Mindset: We breed Capes thoughtfully and track lineage carefully — responsible breeding supports the long-term health of the species in captivity.
-
/
Gentle Hand-Raising: Cape Parrots respond deeply to early human contact. We begin handling from hatch, building trust before any fears can form.
-
/
Right Home, Right Bird: Capes are not for high-turnover homes. We take time to match each bird with people who understand the commitment.
-
/
Lifetime Support: We are available to every Cape buyer for the life of the bird. This species is rare enough that we take ongoing ownership seriously.
-
/
DNA Sexing: DNA sexing is available on request for $30 per bird. If you want to know your Cape Parrot's sex before the bird comes home, we can arrange it without turning a simple option into a mystery.
“A Cape Parrot is not just a pet. It is a privilege.”
The Hand-Fed Bond
Cape Parrots are known for forming incredibly deep, loyal bonds with their people — often described as dog-like in their attachment. Hand-raising from hatch is what makes that bond possible.
Socialization
Our babies are introduced to household sounds, multiple voices, and gentle daily handling — arriving well-adjusted and ready to settle.
Patient Weaning
Cape Parrots wean slowly. We never rush the process — a confident, fully-weaned Cape is worth the wait.
Health Guarantee
Our health guarantee runs 3 to 5 days from pickup or delivery, with 5 days on weekends. It covers undisclosed pre-existing conditions diagnosed within that window by an avian-certified veterinarian, not a general-practice vet. Depending on the situation, the remedy is replacement or refund. It does not cover injuries after pickup or illness caused by exposure to other birds.
