Hello, and thanks for the invite. I see some I already know. :)

My name is Shelly and I am located in SW Michigan on Lake Michigan, about 35 miles from the Indiana border and 90 miles from Chicago. I own/operate Avian Antics which includes 2 online stores. Avian Antics Parrot Boutique which alternates between a line of toys that we manufacture and wood, lots and lots of wood in a variety of sizes. I spend most of the Summer months cutting, drilling and dyeing wood which is shipped to customers for use as toy parts. In the cooler months, I make toys.

We also have a full service supply store, Avian Antics Bird Toys & Supply and we carry pretty much everything; toys, food, perches, carriers, and literally hundreds of accessories and supplies.

For more than 20 years I bred/raised parrots, macaws and cockatoos. In 2002 we shut down the breeding operation, I retired and began to channel my efforts toward parrot rescue and sanctuary.

I also breed, raise and show Doberman Pinschers. Married the love of my life in 2007 and between us we have 5 grown children, and 5 Grandchildren with number 6 on the way.

There you have it. Me in a nutshell. Nice to meet you.

Welcome to the flock here Shelly! :th_greet13: Your feathered kids are gorgeous and your Dobermans are awesome!! You'll have to post more photos of them all. :th_biggrin:

I will have to check you toy parts out. With having 3 macaws who can turn a toy into toothpicks in a matter of minutes, I make my own. :th_LOL:

Thank you. I had to laugh, Wheeler and Lola are anything but serious. They are actually rather silly, somewhat goofy and big, loveable dopes. :th_biggrin:
