Who We Are
Welcome to the Cuddle Nest. Our nest is full of baby Parrotlets, hand raised in cooperation with their Parrotlet parents so they get the best of everything. We are a small hobby breeder located in Los Angeles, CA. Our current Parrotlets come in American Turquoise varieties with beautiful pastel shades. They are hand-tamed and ready for cuddles & kisses. Our breeding practice stems from over 25 years of experience with Parrotlets. On this site, you can find information on our current babies available for adoption, register for our Interest List and our Waitlist, and get more education on these fascinating feathered friends.
Parrotlet birds, also known as pocket parrots, are pint-sized bundles of energy. Despite their small size, these feisty avian creatures possess personalities that are larger than life. Bursting with enthusiasm, parrotlets are known for their spirited behavior and playful antics. With their vibrant plumage and lively movements, they captivate their owners and bring a joyful ambiance to any room. Parrotlets have a knack for being cheerful and full of life, and their energetic personalities ensure that there is never a dull moment with these delightful feathered companions. Whether engaging in acrobatics, chirping gleefully, or exploring their surroundings with curiosity, parrotlet birds are sure to keep their human companions entertained with their tireless enthusiasm.

Babies at the Cuddle Nest know human hands and faces from day one. They get to experience the bond of being raised by their feathered parents until they are old enough to fledge. They get the best of both worlds, receiving vital, loving care from their parents while at the same time establishing trust and bonds with humans right from the start. Although we are handling the babies from birth, we typically don’t intervene with feeding a clutch until they are nearly weaned and fledging. Then the supplemental feedings we provide are more for bonding than anything else. After fledging, depending on the clutch and how Mama feels, we pay close attention and remove them when she lets us know she’s not interested in having slumber parties in the nest box anymore. At that time, they move to their own apartment just next door to their parents, where they continue their family communications while transitioning more full-time to training and taming with humans. We cater to each bird and try to provide the best environment for them to grow in their own time and begin to display their unique personalities and show us who they are.
