Located
a short drive east of San Diego in the rolling hills of Alpine,
California, we welcome you to "The Beak". Pursuing a passion
for our feathered friends, we have been hand feeding and socializing
the ultimate "pet" birds for the past seven years. If
you are looking for that little Macaw that will lay in your lap,
a Cockatiel to be your best friend, a Ringneck to adorn your shoulder,
and much more, you have come to the right place. |

Enter our
site at your own risk, and be prepared to fall in love. In addition
to viewing the colorful mutations of our Cockatiels, exquisite
Ringnecks, Macaw clowns, and all our "Moms and Dads",
be sure to visit our "Things of Interest" page. Experience
the awesome birth of a Macaw and the interaction of our pets with
our babies. We are anxious to please and dedicated to helping
you select just the right bird for you. A
general "rule of thumb" is, if you want a talker, you
want an Amazon. If you want a lover, you want a Cockatoo. If you
want a clown, you want a Macaw.

Words
of Wisdom:
"Give
your new parrot as much time and attention in the beginning as
you will be able to give it down the road." This means, don’t
lavish hours of time and attention on your new companion bird
in the beginning and then when work, chores, family schedules,
etc. interfere, decrease the time you spend with your pet. Your
parrot will not understand and will view it as withholding your
time.
"A parrot
is not a domesticated animal." The vast majority of our companion
birds today are raised in a domestic setting. However, a parrot
will always be a wild entity. This means as simply as – keep
your bird’s wings clipped or he WILL fly away – to as
complicated as your bird always needing his flock (that’s
you). Most people know that a parrot is a very intelligent creature,
but it will serve you and your companion bird well to be aware
of his emotional needs as well.
