Dr. Friedrich Janeczek was interested in parrots and parakeets since his fifth birthday when he got his first budgie. He soon started breeding them. To become a veterinarian specialised in parrots and parakeets was just a logical further step. In the following years he extended his breeding efforts to Lovebirds, Cuban Amazons and other large macaws, cockatoos, and Grey parrots. Due to his father’s illness, the own breeding collection stopped in 2000.
