Our “staff” of birds typically numbers approximately 40 birds at any given time. With varied diets, costs to feed may be anywhere between $5.00 and $16.00 per week, averaging around $10.00 per week per bird.
These numbers do not include the costs of maintaining permits, travel for presentations, veterinary health, support equipment such as crates, mats, gloves, leashes and other safety equipment, cleaning supplies, and the individual living space each bird requires.
Most of our birds are natural enemies to each other in the wild — including birds of the same species — and require a solitary space to themselves. We exceed federal requirements by providing enough space for our birds to get exercise while not traveling for presentation.
