Where to order supplies? (handfeeding formula, boxes, etc)

Post by DanteD716 » Fri Aug 23, 2013 1:04 am

Not sure of any good hoobkill supply sites, all the ones I know of are directed toward finches.. Anybody know of any good sites where I can order the following:

Nestboxes (lovebird, tiel and budgie for now, hope to get conure, and linnie pairs soon)

Leg bands? (I tried looking on L&M but it is all too confusing for me, and NFSS doesnt carry hookbill sizes that I know of..)

Handfeeding formula (I will be handfeeding the lovebirds, and tiels.. Need to know where to by formula!)

Thanks in advance!

Dante, you have to call L&M to order, can't do it online. When you call they are very helpful and can guide you in the direction you want to go regarding bands.

As far as boxes go, the larger ones you can find at some of the pet stores but your best bet are the shows. The weight of multiple boxes being shipped can get costly. The only wooden boxes I ordered were from ladygouldian.com...open faced society boxes.

Lovebirds, linnies can use a tiel box or an 8x8...conures it depends on the size of the conures.

8x8 and tiel boxes I have found at Petco in a pinch.

Zebra, Gouldians, Java, CBM Shaft tail & Grasskeets
