Welcome to Sissy's Bird Colony. You might be wondering about the name of my business. Sissy is my nickname. My brother always called me that, short for sister. Now that my brother isn't around anymore the name means a lot more.
I have always had a love for animals. As a young child my dad and I raised a variety of different birds, like: Bantam Chickens, Turkeys, Quail, Pheasants, Chukar Partridge, Ducks, Geese, Ringneck Doves, Fantail Pigeons and a lot more. My dad really taught me a lot about birds. We had a blast taking some of these birds to shows and we did some traveling to get to some of them. Winning trophies and ribbons as a young child was very exciting. Now that I've gotten older I still love raising different kinds of birds. I've passed the excitement down to my children on showing birds. And boy do they love winning, especially if they beat me. That puts a smile on my face to see that smile on theirs. My dad still gives me a lot of advice on different things and I thank him for everything I've learned. I take really good care of all of my animals. Maybe too much care. I always make sure they have the best food. I mix a lot of the food myself. Fresh water and anything else that they need. One building has it all, from a/c to heat, running water, refrigerator,and wall to wall carpet. I've even added some of my art work to the walls and ceiling. I love to paint and this was something I can add my special touch too. Right now I have over 400 birds. Wow..right? This is a lot of work for one person to do, but I love it. This is the list of birds that I raise right now:

Once in a while I will take a small brake and go drag racing. My husband and I both love running our 1970 SS Chevelle. We will make time to be at every Super Chevy Show in VA. I even got my picture in the Super Chevy magazine in the Aug 2010 issue, vol 39. Page 129. There are a few other pictures in there too of my husband running the car. It's a lot of fun.
Take a look at the New cages and supplies that I have to offer.
Thank you for visiting my site. I hope I can help you find the perfect pet and supplies that you need.

I also take in rescue birds that need good homes and help them find a forever loving family. I want to help make it easy for people that need to give up their pet and let them know that with me the birds will be well taken care of and loved. Doing all of this is very pricey. So any donations will greatly help. Doing that will also help me to be able to help others. This has always been my life long dream to work with birds and help them find a loving family.
Welcome
