Laurie has been very helpful getting my small aviary set up with her beautiful birds, they are so vibrant and healthy and are adjusting so well! I have learned a lot from her already and plan to add to my flock, I will defiantly be going back to Laurie for more birds and advice!

Laurie has always been very responsive to my questions. I have ditched other breeder who did not have patience for my questions. I was finally able to purchase 6 birds form her and they arrived all well and safely package.
p class="style2">Look forward to future transactions and growing my flock with Laurie a valued partner.
Thank You,

I am a first time finch owner. It is reassuring having Laurie as a resource. She is very knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. I was able to visit her bird sanctuary. Great variety of birds and all look very healthy. My guouldians and owl faced finches (Rapunzel, Eugene, Belle, and Beast. My two year old named them) are doing great in their new home. Thanks Laurie for the great birds and all the help.

Laurie,
Just want you to know how pleased I am with my new Gouldian hen, Lucy! She is a healthy, happy and vibrant bird with beautiful colorization. Having dealt with you before, it's good to have a trusted breeder to go to when there is a need. I also enjoy coming out to your place and seeing your facilities and learning from conversing with you on my visits. Keep up the good work!

I recently received Quite a few birds from Laurie and was very happy with my purchase. I could tell she took excellent care of her birds at they were beautiful...the Gouldians were some of the best I have seen and the Normal Javas were a pure strain with not one white feather under the chin or out of place. The Shaftails are in great shape. Everyone who comes in my bird room comments on how lovely the Owl Finches are. I also appreciated her very reasonable prices and her incredible records on each bird. I look forward to buying more birds from Laurie.

I
ordered three Gouldian's and a pair of owl finches from Laurie and they are AMAZING birds! I have ordered birds from other breeders and the birds do not compare. Not only were they beautiful, but the care she took to ship them to me was outstanding! Most breeders just put the birds in the box with some seed and water. Laurie took the time to add bedding to the bottom of the box and added screen to the top, so they weren't flying around and possibly getting injured. I will be doing business with Laurie again next year! I would love to have another pair of her owl finches.

I recently purchased two
Gouldians from Laurie. They
are beautiful birds that
look and act so healthy.
Their color is very vibrant!
They are tight feathered and
they are active. I also
purchased owl finches from
Laurie last year along with
a European society and
another society finch. They
are doing wonderful! All of
the birds in her bird room
looked healthy and happy.
Her bird room is bright and
very clean. I feel very
comfortable dealing with
Laurie and will definitely
buy more birds from her. I
know that I will be getting
really good birds!

Laurie,
We got our finches (Sonny and Cher) home without any problems and they adapted
quickly. They have been great birds and we are
enjoying them every day. Thanks for your help and

Laurie,
The birds are doing great! Both pairs of haftails have gone to nest and have fertile eggs already. The male gouldian and his new mate are getting along so well, they have 5 babies already!
Thanks so much! As always your birds are top quality. Will most certainly buy again from you!

I recently purchased 7 owl finches, July of 2009. Laurie was prompt answering any questions
I had and the birds arrived safe and sound. The packing for their trip was obviously thought
out and well prepared. All not only arrived safe and sound, but were very healthy! I have my
own microscope and did random fecals for several days...I found no pathogens and received
some of the healthiest birds I have ever purchased! If I were to need any more of finches,
this is where I would go! Healthy birds, trustworthy person and did what she said she would do!

I purchased 2 Java's from Laurie in July of 2009. I was only going to get one but her birds are so nice and healthy that I decided to get two birds. I was so impressed with her building, the cages and how clean everything was. Her bird records are just amazing. I will be buying more birds from her in the future. You can not go wrong with Laurie's birds!!

I just bought two pair of finches from Laurie.
She was very easy to deal with answering my emails quickly. I actually only
intended to buy a pair of Owl finches, but when I got to Laurie's aviary, I
was so impressed with her other finches that I also came home with a pair of
shafttails and put myself on a waiting list for another pair. All of Laurie's
birds look healthy, and I was impressed with how clean her aviary was.
If you are looking for a pair (or more) of healthy finches, Zippy Finch is the place to go!

I contact Mrs. Schuneman regarding a Java finch. She immediately reply to my email.
Also when I visit her aviary she was extremely polite and gentile with me.
Her birds are in great shape and the aviary is clean and neat.
The Java finch I bought from her is healthy and very happy.
Definitely is a great source!
Thanks Laurie!

Laurie is great in helping a newcomer into Birdland! Not only did she help me learn about Gouldians, she followed up with phone calls to make sure the birds were doing ok. I look forward to shopping with her again and for using her as a primary resource when I’ve got questions. She’s the best!
