Why choose MooreParrotAuctions.com?

The current process for auctioneering parrots is about simplicity for the auctioneer. They take your birds into a holding “bird area”. It’s hot or it’s sometimes cold and it’s always humid, cramped and has ZERO psittacine husbandry. For those of us around in the early 90’s, its trade craft borrowed from smugglers, and this is simply not healthy or beneficial for your hookbills. Housing arid region birds with hookbills of tropical origins is not healthy for any of the animals. Large birds, lotted and parked next to small birds, can create unnecessary stress on the animals. For most holding facilities, feed is simply whatever is cheapest and in abundance.

Carlos and his staff apply common sense while providing excellent care. Birds are reared and raised in a super clean environment. Tropicals are housed together and fed a measured amount of high protein feed. High quality air filters and a controlled climate are in place. Simply knowing that birds that come from arid regions have lots of feather dust that creates toxic polluted air for other animals is only part of the battle. With other breeders and auction houses, all the ‘lots’ are conveniently caged next to each other, stacked top over end as a matter of utilizing space, rather than affording the best care. At Moore Parrot Auctions we strive to provide the best facilities to get you the healthiest animal possible.

Here at Moore Parrot Auctions, arid region parrots are housed separately and fed an abundant low protein maintenance grain, like they are used to. Other tropicals and exotics are given the same types of consideration in their diet and housing. Those animals from a rainforest region are used to the cleanest air, while those from arid regions with lots of feathers aren’t necessarily concerned with the quality of air because the Australian outback is endless in space. However, once you cram a bunch of Australian birds with feather dust into a small holding area where you have tropicals from the rainforest, then lung infection for those birds becomes an issue. This is the part where we apply common sense. We don’t just take a bird from the rainforest and stuff them in a clamped closet for convenience sake. Birds that are used to the purest air in the world would get all that dust feather from the cockatoos. This kind of practice results in sick birds that can and will just kill over and die because of handling mistreatment.

It is one thing to say, “we are experienced bird handlers” and in all ways that is a true statement, but then so are smugglers.  The difference is that it takes experience and effort to employ psittacine husbandry that meets or exceeds the need of the hookbill and exotics at auction. Our knowledge and care create a healthy product, that both buyer and seller can appreciate. These are only a few of the reasons why many consignors choose Moore Parrot Auctions. You can feel comfortable choosing us because ‘your new bird’ was ‘once our bird’ and when you win your bid and receive your new animal you will be receiving the best that we can provide.
