This page is dedicated to all the GREAT people who have bought birds from us.
NEW!! Crimson Bellied Conure
Sunny was a baby Congo African Grey who went home with Jeannie C. in early August. They are loving Sunny and are pampering their new peep!
|
Hi Beth,
Sunny has captured our hearts with his wonderful personality and antics. He takes a shower with me everyday and is so funny to watch. He will lift his cute face up to the water and close his eyes as he gets misted with cool water. He also lifts his wings so I can use a washcloth to get under them. After the shower he gets wrapped in one of his baby blankets and rests on Mommy's chest for a few minutes while he drys. My husband just marvels that "a bird" can behave this way.
We have
also been taking him for a couple of daily walks in
his very own stroller!! I had a new stroller that
my dog wouldn't ride in and it is perfect for
Sunny. It is screened in and I put a little table
perch in it along with crocks for water and treats.
He LOVES it!! It will be perfect for our outings
with Christie to the park when the weather cools.
I can put his flight suit on and he will have his own
little area. Here is a photo of his stroller:
I am so
grateful to Pampered Peeps (Beth, her husband and
delightful daughters) for the love and care they put
into raising my "Sunny" from a baby to a now priceless
member of our family. I feel like I have just adopted a
child. They took the time to play with him, take him on
outings, let him learn to fly, taught him how to eat
healthy food, etc. etc. I feel blessed to have found
this wonderful family who don't raise birds to sell ....
they love baby birds till they find them a "forever
home". Thank you so much!

One Yellow Sided Green Cheek, Libby, went to a very, very sweet man in Minneapolis St. Paul. Mitch has been an absolute DOLL to work with! He sends awesome descriptions of "Her Libbyness" and "gives all the credit to Beth and her wonderful daughters of Pamperedpeeps Aviary!!! He bought Libby from us in mid-July and has absolutely loved her:
|
Libby is quite the little bird. I let her climb out of that
marvelous
shipping crate on her own time. Her first flight was to the
top of my
head. She stayed there quietly "quacking" for about 15
minutes then
flew off to perch on each curtain rod in the living room.
And what a
sight she saw cars, trucks, motorcycles, and pedestrians.
At one point I thought I saw her head turn all the way around. She
steps up
right smartly (quality breeding for sure), but does have a
curiosity
for tender flesh. Funny thing it doesn't really hurt until
she lets
go ;-) Your wing clip was right on. If she works hard
enough she can still get where she wants to go, but I can
tell that she's putting out 110%. So far she's pooped a few times, snacked on 12 grain
bread
(from my hand), had a few choice seeds, and drank from a
water dish.
Right now she's exploring the acrylic cage (looking for the
hidden
escape hatch more likely). We've spent some time reading
the manual
for the digital camera together. She seems to feel that
it's her job
to sit on the manual while I try to read it. I did take a
few pics,
but there's software to install in order to move it to the
computer.
I think that'll have to wait until tomorrow. Thanks once
more for all
your hard work raising my little sweetie.
He sent this to us a few days later saying, "I got Libby's flight suit on for the first time today!"
Beth, This is a picture that he sent us of Libby in her suit on his "custom made" perch that he rigged up off of the headrest of his car:
|
He
made Libby the coolest acrylic cage and sent us a
picture of her in it!
She
is on her little perch with her food cup underneath!

picture of her with her favorite toy!!!
Jan F. bought Shiloh from us in August, 2006. As you can read from this email, she had a bit of a struggle getting Shiloh's Flight Suit on at first. But, she won the battle and she has bought two more suits from us so that Shiloh can "wear different clothes each day we go walking." Read more about Jan and Shiloh's struggle by clicking here.

Dear Beth and Family,
When we had the
burning desire to acquire an baby African Grey, Pampered
Peeps was mentioned to us. At that time, I called you,
Beth, and knew right off this that this is where we would be
getting our new baby from.
We want to thank you
and your family for raising the most beautiful, highly
intelligent grey that we have ever seen! And of course, I
am speaking about Shiloh!! Shiloh is adjusting well to her
new home with us, and the rest of our family, consisting of
a very jealous twelve year old CAG, a pussywillow yellow
nape Amazon, and a nasty but adorable blue front Amazon,
plus three kitties. She has fit right in, and is queen of
the domain!! Anything Shiloh wants, Shiloh gets! Sounds a
little spoiled, don't you think!
We wanted Shiloh to
settle in a little before tackling the flight suit thing, so
waited two weeks. Boy, that was a mistake!! The first
couple attempts were a disaster, with her taking control and
me totally frustrated. She seemed very pleased with herself
at that point. The next day, after a phone call from Beth,
Shiloh was in her suit and visiting all of her new neighbors
in the neighborhood. I finally got to show off my new baby
to the world!! I don't know who was more proud, me or
Shiloh, as she sat on my shoulder just showing off her new
rainbow suit to everyone!!!
None of this could
have been done, without the loving care that Shiloh received
from Beth, Bill, Lisa, Anna and Jessie. Without them,
handling, feeding, playing, and encouraging my baby, I would
have just another grey, that I would have to mold from
scratch. This one came to me with a built in
personality!!, and, all of the basics to create a wonderful
bird that will be with our family forever.
Again, to all of your
family, thank you so much for your loving and caring way of
raising these wonderful babies!
Always,
Jan, Mike, the
Kitties and Flock!

Jane bought Peanut (a darling Blue Crown Conure) from us and she also bought a Flight Suit about 2 years ago. Every day, she Flight Suits Peanut up and takes him for a walk around her neighborhood! At first, he greatly resented the Suit, but now, loves the Flight Suit, because it means going on a walk. She says he literally "jumps into his Suit each morning to go outside!" This is a great example of what happens if you put your baby in a Flight Suit every day and are very persistent!
|
This is what she
said after Peanut had been there for 3
weeks:
Hi Beth and The Girls:
Peanut is just daily blossoming into one
terrific little bird. He has a little
attitude that is just adorable...he is
now starting to get on my shoulder when
I walk over to the cage and pat on it
for him. He is still only saying "What"
alot, but he is young and he listens so
intently he will get going when he is
ready...and of course that is not a
problem with us whether he does or not.
He does not seem to like his pellets at
all, throws them on the bottom of the
cage. I figure I will still keep at
it. He absolutely loves grapes and
yams. The sweet stuff! But I continue
to give him a variety, he will in time
start to eat it all. He is a little
piggy...he has also started to bathe in
his water dish, what a riot! So I
constantly am changing his water. He
gets bottled water by the way....nothing
but the best for Peanut.
When I take him to bed for the nite, he
hangs on to my neck and flaps his wings
and calls to the flock, he is such a
delite. Then after he gets settled in,
if we go in to the room, he makes little
squeaky noises...I sent away for a
couple of those cubbies beds. I figure
when I take him to Lakeside he will want
to cuddle up in those at night. He
sleeps sometimes in his sleep bed, but
most of the time he sleeps on top of
it. Will get some pictures this weekend
when my granddaughter comes over....take
care and have a wonderful weekend.
Much love,
Jane
And her next
email was after he had been there 6
months:
Hi Beth:
Well,
Peanut turned 6 months old
yesterday. My time has literally
flown by, hasn't it?
I
took your advice and started putting
his play stand away from the cage
and put him on that during the day.
He of course hangs on me part of it
too. And he is not as prone to bite
when I get him out of his cage
now....so that was the problem,
getting territorial. He is a love!
When I get him up in the morning I
hold him close to my cheek and he
kisses me all the way down the hall,
then when I put him in his cage, I
tell him to go poopie and he does!
What a bird!
He is
a good little eater, and he loves to
climb up my curtains and sit at the
very top. I think he is spoiled,
don't you? He is still not showing
too much interest in talking much,
but that is okay, I told Rich if all
he ever says is, What, What, What,
it is still so cute and we love
him. And he just might be a late
talker.....time will tell.
I
don't know how we ever got along
without him. He is a special bird,
and thank you again for letting us
purchase him from you.
Hope
you and your family have a wonderful
week.
Warm
regards,
Jane
and Peanut
And
another email.....
Hi Beth & the Gals:
Just a quik Peanut update....he
is now making kissy sounds like
I have to him...he said the word
"Peanut" the other day clear as
a bell....has not said it since
however. But he is getting the
message. He is an absolute
little piggy when it comes to
food. In the morning he dives
right in making sounds like he
is starved to death. He loves
Nutri-berries!!
One day I came home from being
somewhere, he had figured out
how to get out of his cage,
gotten on the windowsill,
chomped on some of the wood
around it, spilled sand (I had
some colored sand in decorative
little bottles), nipped all the
artificial flowers off the
stems, just a regular little
mischief maker he was. I can't
for the life of me figure out
how he was able to open that
door!
But, he can do just about
anything and still get kisses
from me. When I am out of the
room, many times he will come
flying looking for me. When he
lands on the tile, it looks like
he is skating on the floor when
he walks. It's hilarious!
Every afternoon he sits on my
shoulder and we both take a nap
in the chaise lounge. He
snuggles up to my neck as close
as he can get. He is our little
doll!! He is still very laid
back, he is not a noisy bird,
not a bit scared of anything, I
can hold him anyway I want and
he looks at me as if to say,
"Whatever you want to do with me
is okay by me!" We are heading
up to Lakeside today and we are
going to be there 10 days. He
rides on my shoulder in the car
the entire way, looks out the
window, eats whatever I am
eating, he is the best little
traveler.
I can't express to you enough
how happy I am that I found you
with this special little bird
you allowed me to bring into our
home. Rich tells everyone how
concerned I am that Peanut
doesn't smell anything that can
harm him, and how he eats better
than we do. He loves him to
however, Peanut sits on his
shoulder every evening when he
comes home from work. He likes
to nibble on Rich's face, I
think it's the whiskers he's
after. Never bites us ever!!
Well, this has gotten to be
longer than I thought it would
be. Attaching a picture I took
this AM....Peanut likes to sit
here and look out the window and
play with the little gems that
hang on this. You can see he is
chewing on the edges. I'll have
to get him another one. By the
way, what size did you get that
Santa suit? I would like to get
Peanut something like that. I
put his harness on regularly to
keep him used to it, he does not
particularly care for it though,
he has shredded parts of it.
Take care and have a wonderful
2005.
Much warm love,
Jane and Peanut
As you can see, Peanut is getting better every day! Hi Beth and the Girls: Hope you all are fine, I know you stay pretty busy, we do too over on this side of town. Just wanted to touch base so you know Peanut is doing just fine, cute as a button and his little personality is just blossoming day by day. He is really a low-key bird, he is so content to entertain himself alot of the time, I always put him in my lap in the morning to feed him his breakfast. We both look forward to that, I think I get most of it on me. :) He is a good little eater. Then in the afternoon he sits on my shoulder and we both take a power nap in the recliner. He snuggles just as close to my neck as he can get, and then tucks his little head in my ear and makes squeaky sounds. I love him to pieces!! He sleeps in the little cubbie bed I got him. That is sooo cute! If I can get a picture of that sometime I will. It's at night, so the light is off and I don't usually disturb him. He still says What, What, What all of the time, but I am hopeful for more words as he gets older. It's funny sometimes he says What at an appropriate time when someone is around and asks a question. What a riot! He absolutely gets soaked when he takes a bath. I bought a bigger dish for him and I put warm water in it around 11 AM, and he literally dives into it. Has great fun....I have gotten some interactive toys for him, ones that he can take out of the holes and put back in, he loves those too. I am attaching a picture of him just hanging in his cage. Not doing much, but you can see he looks content enough. Take care and hope all is well with you and your family, birds, horses, dogs, chickens and all. Warm regards, Jane and Peanut

beth,
we love her!!!!!! she is so much more than we expected, she gave me about 3 kisses right off , and flew straight to my husband on the couch, she loves the blue crown i see what you were saying about the way she likes to play and pick at the blue crown kinda looks at her and she kinda pushes and nibbles him they are more than i imagined all send you a picture in a few minutes, as soon as i find my camera. i couldnT wait to hold her, at the cargo department the ladies had to see her also, so they shut all doors and we opened the box they fell in love with her, but who wouldnt? della A few years later, we asked Della for a reference letter: Hi, I would like to say anyone purchasing a avian friend from the pamperedpeeps family won't be disappointed. It was a Blessing that I found them when surfing the internet for a Handfed Baby Sun Conure. My family and I were un-educated on parrots and types of parrots. Beth, being the caring person she is, gave several educational sites to read about Sun Conures before I put a deposit on one. Which was extremely helpful to our family Considering we were unfamiliar with them .She also warned us they can be quite loud at times . Well we decided we wanted one from this family. They kept me updated on my baby such as weight it was gaining ,feathers it was staring to get and pictures couple of times a week . It was almost as if we where there watching it grow into a beautiful bird. Beth and her girls are very dedicated to their pets health and the homes their babies go too. I couldn't put it in words what joy our little sun conure brought into our lives. The Girls had named her Cello we kept the name , our Cello is still as sweet as they day I brought her home from the airport. I would strongly recommend Beth and her girls to anyone wanting to purchase a loving sweet handfed parrot. Della Fuson Harlan Kentucky 606-573-0856 |
Angel went home with a Phoenix family who sent us this email just a few days after her being there.
|
Hi Beth,
Thank you so
much for allowing us to purchase Angel!!! She is settling right
in.
She has
become part of the family and even my husband has a soft spot
for her. I am so impressed with how friendly she is and also
quiet. Every now and then she will squeak I think to get our
attention and she lets us know that she prefers our shoulders
over her cage. We have had to work a bit on the biting thing
but wow she is nothing like our previous Margarita ;)!
Will send
some pics when I get time to take them!
Thanks again
we just love our new Angel.
Denice
We also asked Denice for a reference letter: To
Future Bird Parents,
I highly recommend Beth and
her family who have Pampered Peeps as a reputable
source for purchasing your new family pet! She came
highly recommend to us when we were looking for our
new pet bird and we can't say enough about her and
our "Cricket"!
Beth was very patient with me
and all of my questions, I was especially concerned
about aggressiveness and birdie health. After having
several lengthy conversations with Beth, and
becoming more informed about the differences in
birds and behaviors we decided to purchase a Yellow
Sided Green Cheek Conure from her for our daughter
(10yrs) as a pet, we know we made the right decision
as both of our children can take Cricket out of her
cage and handle her without fear and worries!
We are so pleased with
our bird that we will be buying another from Beth in
the near future!

"Angel" ended up belonging to Loren, Denice's little girl. After getting to know Angel, Loren wrote us.
| hi, my name is loren. Angel is my new best friend, I really enjoy her. My whole family loves her. Angel has made a friend with my dad & my dad loves her. today I bought a harness for her, I can't wait to try it on her.I am sorry my tiping is a little bad. loren |
As you can tell, everyone in the family fell in love with Angel. They emailed us a few months later and said they renamed her Cricket. She would mutter under her breath and sound like she was saying "Cricket." All Green Cheeks do that...it is so cute!
These letters are courtesy of Denice J. of Gilbert, AZ. Denice also raises Miniature Horses and her website is www.winningminis.com .
Little Emmy, a Yellow Sided Green Cheek, went to live with Teresa A. and her son Tyler of Payson, AZ.
|
Emmy is awesome!
Tyler has a hard time putting her down... She is like a little
magnet - she insists on sitting on his shoulder. If he sits her
down on the playgym she will fly right to him and cuddle up with
him. She fell asleep last night in the palm of my hand. I'm
having a hard time keeping my hands off of her! We ended up
putting her and the cockatiel together in a very large cage.
Please add me to your
list for babies when they come around again next season! I
think I would like to have another little yellow sided girl or a
pineapple for myself... Please tell your girls how much we
appreciate all that you do for the babies. It really shows!
Emmy is just sooo
adorable!
Thanks!

The next is a short 'series' of emails that were on bird lists. (Two great lists are arizonabirdtalk@yahoogroups.com and PyrrhuraConures@yahoogroups.com ) A 15 year old boy wanted to know if we were reputable breeders and emailed these two lists asking that question. Here is what was responded to him.
|
Vicki (www.caiquecapersandmews.com)
referred me to Beth at Pampered Peeps and I now have
an amazing YSGC named Lily.
Beth (and her daughters) raise
the BEST baby birds! I couldn't be happier.
I have attached a few pictures
of Lily.

The next person to respond was Vicki, the lady who Dawn referred to in her email.
| Macaulay, I can tell you firsthand that Pampered Peeps has wonderful, well socialized, healthy babies. I have a YSGC, Kriket, that is a sweet bird. I have referred many people to Pampered Peeps for birds and I don't know of anyone who has had any problems or been dissapointed. In fact, everyone that I've referred and others I've talked to have been extremely pleased with the birds from there. I would highly recommend Pampered Peeps to anyone looking for a healthy, well adjusted, happy bird. You can also check out their website at: www.pamperedpeeps.com for more information about the birds they raise. Good luck and enjoy your new green cheek. Vicki Johnson & Flock Phoenix, AZ. www.caiquecapersandmews.com
Vicki sent us a reference letter saying: I am writing this letter as a reference for Beth and her family. I just have to say that she and her girls are absolutely wonderful with their birds and other animals. I completely trust them and their judgement in caring for their adult and baby birds. The girls are the most well behaved children I have ever met and they are very respectful towards myself and others. Beth has done a terrific job of instilling responsibility and teaching them the proper way to care for all animals. I am amazed every time I go over to visit them that their house is always spotless and the cages are always clean with fresh foods, water and plenty of toys. Of course the birds are outside their cages most of the time and they get plenty of interaction with all family members. I truly enjoy each visit with Beth and her family and am always impressed with the way they treat and respect their animals. I look forward to getting a yellow sided green cheek conure baby from Beth as soon as she is weaned. I would highly recommend Beth and her family (and have) to anyone who is looking for a happy, healthy bird to adopt. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Vicki J. at

Maranda bought a Cinnamon Green Cheek from us and wrote us this:
|
Dear Beth,
I just wanted to show you a cute picture of CinCin (Hannah) at home with us. She is such a treasure and we love her very much. She gets her mash everyday and lots of out-of-cage time. Thanks for your devotion to companion parrots it really shows in her. I am constantly amazed by her personality. She is truly a part of the family.
Lots of Love,
Maranda

Below is an email from a lady in Tucson who bought a Sun Conure from us a few years ago!
|
Susie E. has been a dear friend for years. She bought a baby Sun Conure, a Cockatiel, and Finches from us. She raised horses when she lived here and she has given us two horses, a dog, many chickens, etc. Just recently, she moved from her house down the road to Litchfield Park. It was a blessing to have her about 10 doors down for so many years:
|
Good Afternoon to all concerned,
I’d like to take a moment and introduce you to a special friend of mine, Beth and her wonderful family. We have been neighbors for a little over 8 years. Not much time goes by that my children and I don’t scurry down to their home to see one of their new additions. These new additions can include, but trust me not limited to, horses, dogs, and birds of every kind, kittens or any others that might stray to their home. All are accepted and loved and cared for.
Their home is blessed with 3 very precious daughters, whom I have grown to love dearly. With the knowledge and guiding hand of their mother, I have watched these girls delight at the sight of a new egg in a nest, to lovingly learning the art of hand raising these birds. These family raised, hand feed birds are wonderful, trusting, and sweet creatures, perfect for any family or individual. I should know I’ve purchased my fair share. I purchased a beautiful young Sun Conure for my son, and the most enjoyable part of this purchase was to watch “Chevy” grow from birth at their home to hand feeling to the day my son called her his own. I also bought for myself a sweet hand fed Cockatiel who I named “JT” who was the crowning king in our home. Not a dull day went by that JT didn’t make us smile.
The animals and birds who call the home their home are quiet special indeed. This is a wonderful place to live or to visit or grow up in or to just hang out for a little while. I love to watch the birds and I’ve learned a lot about raising and caring for birds there as well. I’m sure my purchases will not be limited to those of the past; I think the future is calling for a new family member.
If you are interested in purchasing an animal or bird from this home, be assured that you will always receive a healthy, trusting, loving creature.
Please if you have any questions what so ever, feel free to call, I’d love to talk to you about any of our purchases from Beth and her family.
Thank you, Susie E. and Family |
