Our family-run business began breeding exotic birds commercially in 1970. During our career we bred numerous types of parakeets, cockatiels, canaries, finches, Conures, Amazons, Macaws, African Greys, Cockatoos, Rosellas, Australian Kings, and Toucans. Our special emphasis was on breeding Caiques and the endangered Cuban Amazon.
We were also commercial exotic reptile breeders, under the business name Lima's Herps, specializing in Australian Bearded Dragons. The reptile business was managed by our son, Chris Lima.

In association with Roger Bringas, of Mutations Unlimited, North Hollywood, California, we had experience breeding a large number of very rare parrot color mutations.

Beginning in the early 1970's, we successfully bred and raised over one thousand Caiques of both varieties, exclusively
for the wholesale pet market. All of our babies were raised utilizing artificial incubation
and hand rearing to ensure a premium quality
companion pet. The caique makes an outstanding pet and is at the top of the
list in this category.
For information on caiques, refer to the 1996 March/April issue of the American Federation of Aviculture's (AFA) bi-monthly journal, the "Watchbird." This issue contains an extensive paper that we authored titled, "The Care & Breeding of Caiques." This paper was originally presented in 1995 at the AFA's National Convention, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Click here to view paper.

After 35-plus years in the business, we have officially retired and no longer sell from our private collection. For information and availability of mutation parrots, please contact Roger Bringas directly at RogerBringas@yahoo.com

In our "retirement," we will be dedicating our efforts to our Plumeria, Bromeliad, and Orchid collection.
We maintain over 100 Plumeria varieties and every year, during the months of June through September, we offer potted Plumerias to our local customers. Plumerias are available in 2-gallon, 5-gallon and 15-gallon sizes.
We do not ship Plumerias and do not sell cuttings. Please feel free to email your name and email address to be placed on our summer Plumeria Sale Mailing List. During our Plumeria sale, we usually also have available various types of Bromeliads and Orchids.
