We have been successful in the reproduction of species such as the Red-tailed Cockatoo, of which there are no records of reproduction in captivity in Mexico. PROFEPA (Mexico's Federal Environmental Protection Agency) made a donation to us of a couple of Palm Cockatoos.
And we have been also been able to raise Picoduro Terresi Parrots, work that require extreme care and dedication.
Research plays a major role, and as we are working under well-conceived guidelines, Avix is a source of first rate biological information. Nowhere else is it possible to control data such as periods of breeding, diseases, treatments, food preferences, development of young birds, and other information, as easily as it is here.
This privileged information may be used to improve conservation programs of birds in captivity and also to promote conservation programs for endangered species in nature. We are thus contributing with a scientific methodology for the reproduction of wild birds, national and foreign.
Adding new equipment for bird reproduction, such as incubators, artificial climate, hatchers and food chambers, among others, has enabled a consistent reproduction of species.
