About www.birdkeeper.dk

 

Welcome - Willkommen - Velkommen 


Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus).

This website is a non-commercial hobby based website that conveys knowledge and shares experiences about keeping and breeding of parrots (belonging to the order Psittaciformes) in human care.


The aim is, based on the parrots’ natural living conditions, that we collectively can become better equipped to create the most optimal comditions for our parrots and to encourage aviculturists to work purposefully for the preservation of species-pure specimens (optimally at the subspecies level). This is done through systematic breeding to ensure the future of these magnificent birds, as it is no longer immediately possible to import parrots from their countries of origin.


Briefly, www.birdkeeper.dk stands for the following:


  1. Information about parrots' way of life in the wild
  2. Experience-based knowledge sharing in order to increase the health and well-being of parrots in human care
  3. Breeding of selected parrot species from a systematically clinically disease-tested stock
  4. Selective sale of parrots to aviary conditions.


Under this tab you will find information about the website itself, including:



The website was originally created as a purely Danish-language website on 23rd December 2009, but in line with increasing interest from abroad over the years, in-depth articles in English about selected parrot species have been published, particularly from 2021. Since an increasing proportion of the articles that have been published at the same time have been with specialists and nerds as the target group, it has been decided, with few exceptions, to gradually change the website's status to an international website with English as the communication language from 2024. However, a number of the website's original articles and publications are still in Danish and are reserved for Danish readers and these will successively be provided with a Danish flag.


Happy reading!


With best regards,

Jørgen Petersen
