New discoveries, updates, and information will be listed here periodically.
October 2011: As of October 22, 2011 one pair of Pekin Robins is still available for purchase. Contact us!
September 2011: During the breeding season from April to September, 20 Pekin Robins were raised to independence.
May 2011: NEW DISCOVERY! mealworms can be used to raise broods of pekin robins by coating mealworms once a day with halibut liver oil and then dusting them with crushed calcium tablets. Both products are available for human consumption in drugstores. Evidently the higher provision of Vitamin D is pivotal for calcium absorption in pekin robins and bearded tits, aside from ensuring that more of the calcium adheres to the insects when fed by the parent birds.
