Becks Bird Barn

Most of our barns are over 400 years old, and only ever been used for cows, so each year we have tried to re-new a new section, as funds have allowed. Firstly, was obviously the shop, which stocks thousands of different toys, feeds, medicines, cages, playstands, books, nesting materials, gifts etc, anything for the would be parrot owner and breeder. We now have 2 quarantine units, where any hand reared babies bought in from other breeders are housed away from all other stock until they have been tested for PBFD. All our existing breeding stock has been tested by our Avian Vet, Mike Stanford (Birch Heath Veterinary Clinic, Tarporley) and we are as certain as we can be that our own raised babies enjoy a disease free environment. We have altered another building to house our babies whilst they are being reared. They are behind glass so customers can see them clearly but they are protected from anyone unwittingly bringing in any nasty bacteria or viruses. Visiting your baby as it grows is something we encourage here. Some people like to keep a photo diary of ‘Egg’ as it progresses through the weeks. Something for you to keep and look back on. And each time you visit, any questions you have, can be answered by our experienced staff.

For those of you who don’t know the story of how Beck’s Bird Barn came about, here follows the story so far…….. Cows and milking are now firmly in the past for us, such a lot has happened over the past 7 years, since the last of the milking cows walked up the ramp and Beck’s Bird Barn was opened to the public. We constantly count our blessings that we are able to turn our hobby into a thriving and still growing business. We have a lot of friends in farming that have not been as fortunate.
