White Back Mousebirds (Colius colius) are native to Africa and make delightful household pets when handraised. They love to play and be cuddled, and rival the affection of any pet parrot. Mousebirds are softbill birds who eat fruit and pelleted diets - no seed. Here at the Davis Lund Aviaries we have been raising mousebirds for almost twenty years and have worked with five of the six species. To learn more about mousebirds, check out the book "Mousebirds In Aviculture" by Kateri Davis published by Birdhouse Publications.

  • @whyismykittyabutt55 Thanks for the compliment! Finding mousebirds can be tricky, but we raise a few every year and I know a couple of other breeders to recommend as well. We ship birds around the USA so being close to your area is not a problem. Contact me privately at DLAviaries@aol.com if you would like. - Kateri

  • Beautiful bird. I've been wanting one for quite some time just can't find any breeders who are close to my state.
