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 rare color varietyes Society Finches, and my favorites, the Zebra Finches.
For over 25 years I kept and bred Victoria Crowned Pigeons (read about them here), I no longer have them but I sure have good memories of many years with them. 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 of some Geese, see below for more info) to name a few, Plus I use to have both Charmain, and Sweeny my two Pygmy Goats. They are both gone now and I do miss them very much, they use to follow me around everywhere!
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 Isacc & Dammion Williams and Wesley, they are absolutely among the best farm hands I have ever had and quite an assest to the entire operation. (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!)
