CAGE AND AVIARY BIRDS

We stock the largest selection of birds in the area - in the summer we may have thousands of birds ranging from finches up to exotic parrots.

The bird section is looked after by Neil and his staff who have kept all sorts of birds for over 30 years.

We offer full advice on all aspects of bird keeping; our bird specialists have over 60 years' experience dealing with them.

Aviaries for your garden can be built to any size and erected if needed.

Everyone loves budgies and canaries and we always have plenty of babies in stock ready to go.

If it's the more exotic finches you're looking for then come and see what we have or give us a call.

All the seed and accessories you may need for finches to budgies to parrots are stocked, including nest boxes, cages, stands and lots more besides.
