Thank you for visiting Zebrafinch.com. Let me tell you a little bit about my avicultural history. My experience in keeping birds dates back to childhood, because my parents kept birds. As a teenager I started my own collection of cage birds beginning with Ringneck Doves, Cockatiels, and Zebra Finches. I still keep all of these and much, much more! In 1980, I named my bird farm Acadiana Aviaries. After all, I grew up in Acadiana (the heart of Cajun country), and my entire family is comprised of native, French speaking Acadians. I too understand and speak local Louisiana French. My choice many years ago for the name of the farm, Acadiana Aviaries, sounded good then and it still does today! I thank my family and friends for all their support thoughout the years.
Currently, there are many buildings which make up the bird farm. The largest building is 130 feet long and 30 feet wide; it houses an untold number of birds (several thousand, seriously!) which occupy 76 walk-in flight cages under one roof! These flights are home to finches, Diamond doves, Exotic doves, and Button Quail. The farm has several other buildings; the two largest each hold over 100 individual breeding cages for finches. In these cages are Society Finches, Exotic Finches, and some of the best and rarest Zebra Finches. you can find anywhere in the US.
I even have 11 large walk-in outdoor flight cages each 20 feet long, which house a variety of colorful domestic Pigeons, Jungle Fowl, Currasows, and Victoria Crowned Pigeons (read about them here) Around my main building is a yard containing a variety of domestic and exotic geese (which I love), Pomeranians, Brown Chinese and White Emdens and Pilgrim Geese (hatching eggs available, see below for more info) to name a few, plus there you will also run into Charmain, and Sweeny my two Pygmy Goats. They will follow you everywhere! And if that's not enough, in the back 40, you can visit with Dixie and Minnie Pearl, my former farm-hand, Raymond's, two Pot Bellied Pigs, they out grew his house and yard, so now they spend their days relaxing in a large yard on the farm. So you can see we have at lot of "stuff' that keeps all of us very busy! Just read my Favorite Poem.
If you want to, you can even take a tour of my Bird Farm and visit my tropical garden (it's a great place to get away from the birds :) see all of the buildings and look in the flights and cages. My current farm hands are Corey Guidry, and Evan Splane. Corey has been here two months now and is one of the best farm hands I have ever had, he is in charge of feeding all of the birds, which is no easy chore to learn. I takes most guys a while to master that task, and Corey has been the fastest learner I have ever had, he is perfect and a great guy to be around, Im glad he's here and he seems to like his new job a lot. Evan has been here for over a year and is in charge of all the water chores for all birds, he says few words, but he smiles a lot and I am glad to have him! They are great guys and quite an assest to have as farm hands. I am really glad to have them (Believe me the Farm would not run so smoothly as it does without their help. I get compliments all of the time from visitors about the farm and its due to these guys. I AM VERY THANKFUL!)
