The Bird of the Month this month is the majestic Hyacinth Macaw! There is a beautiful glass beaded necklace and earring set currently on auction, with a Buy It Now option on eBay.

There are also three African Grey pieces, a bracelet charm, a charm with a "leash", and a magnet, as well as an Umbrella Cockatoo choker. They are all on auction for the next week, with Buy it Now options, take a look!

On August 1st I began accepting VIP (Very Important Parrot) & Rush custom orders through my website. This option was put into place due to the demand that I was receiving from those of you willing to pay more to have a custom order worked in quickly, instead of waiting for a chance in my monthly "lottery drawing".

I've been surprised by the number of VIP orders I am receiving, and as a result, the number of monthly "lottery" requests that I take on the first day of each month is reducing as I give the VIP orders priority.

Because of this, I wanted to give you a bit of a "heads up" notice if you were thinking about placing a VIP order. The closer we get to the holidays, the tighter my schedule becomes with gift requests, and the less likely it will be that I will be able to accommodate all of the VIP Order requests.

If you planned to order a special custom gift in time for the holidays, please place your VIP Order as early as you can. More details about how the VIP/Rush Custom Orders work and the Order Form can be found here: VIP Orders.

Can it really be that time of the year already? It doesn't seem possible, but the air is getting crisp, leaves are turning, and the holidays are just around the corner! Killian, Kaleena and I hope that you and your feathered friends have a fun Halloween!

Talking about Halloween, I have created three special one-of-a-kind pieces to celebrate this month's holiday: a Sun Conure Pumpkin Pin (or Magnet), Congo Grey Pumpkin Necklace and Timneh Grey Witch necklace! You can check them out on eBay this week on auction.

Earlier this year I was introduced to the magnificent Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos of Australia by one of my wonderful ornithologist customers! I had never seen photos of them before, or even heard of them before for that matter, since they are very rare here in the US. I was itching to sculpt something new that I've never created before, so I chose the male of this species for the October Bird of the Month!

The male Red-Tailed Black Cockatoos on auction for the next week include the following: bracelet charm, choker necklace, pendant on cord, and a glass beaded necklace/earring set!

Killian and Kaleena would like to send out a BIG "Thank you!" to those of you who voted for our entry in the Pampered Parrot Giveaway! I recently was informed that my "bumper sticker slogan" won, so the birdies will be getting some new toys and goodies soon, what fun!

Talking about Killian and Kaleena, it's molting time here, and they have been very generous with some lovely feather contributions, so I have created an assortment of earrings! :) You can check them out on eBay this week on auction.

Three Goffin's Cockatoos and a new Congo African Grey Pendant are on sale in auctions this week on eBay! There is also a new one of a kind jewelry set features a vibrant parrot that was hand sculpted from leftover scraps of clay, all swirled together. I love making these "scrap clay birds", you never know what they will look like!

I have created three unique beaded necklaces in my whimsical "Flights of Fancy" style, in shades of purple!

The birds featured are a (non-specified) parrot, a cockatiel and a Goffin's Cockatoo. Please see each auction, as there are many special details that do not show up in these preview photos!

Beautiful glass beads and amethyst stones really make these sets lovely. These would make fantastic gifts for someone who enjoys one-of-a-kind jewelry!

These necklace/earring sets are on sale on eBay for one week on auction, but please note that I have listed these with Buy It Now options! This means you can snap a set up right away if no one has bid yet, without having to wait for the auction to end!

There is also a new African Grey "Flights of Fancy" Necklace/Earring set (shown below) and matching bracelet (not pictured) in grey/silver/red/black beads available this week.
