Nunawading Birds & Pets

I’m so happy to have a beautiful sun conure within reasonable price, Michael is very good person and friendly, all the best mate!

I bought a 3yr old Quaker female from this place back in mid March this year. She was apparently surrendered by her previous owners. The gentleman who sold her to us must have done a fabulous job caring for her in the meantime, as she is well socialised and hadn't lost all trust in people - we've managed to build trust with her very quickly!She did have some feathers missing on her left shoulder, but i realise this was probably 'stress-preening' from when her previous owners suddenly surrendered her out of the blue.The gentleman who i take it runs the show did seem standoffish at first, but when i expressed my interest in buying a bird that day he was very informative and helpful in letting my partner and I have a hold of the birds before purchasing. He is very knowledgable. What impressed me the most was that he tried reaching for a younger bird that we were having a keen interest in, but was very skiddish and clearly didn't like people. He could have very well sold that bird to us that day but gave up on catching the bird and informed us that some birds are just not mean't to be pets.I've read the other reviews, and its a shame that others had a poor customer experience. I get the sense that perhaps one too many people have walked into his store and were frivolous about buying a bird, and bought a companion bird out of the novelty of it - and so he chooses to not oblige anyone that he suspects might be a time waster .

Some beautiful birds here, and the owner is quite knowledgeable. However, even the larger birds are kept in relatively small cubicles with no greenery or items of entertainment.

The most abominable living conditions for birds I've ever seen. Cages were filthy, baby birds were nesting in bird droppings, too many birds in small cages or too small to support big birds. Birds are intelligent and the mistreatment and neglect was disgusting to see. Don't buy from here or support the continued mistreatment of birds.

I have been here a couple of times in the past, and every time i go the conditions of the birds get so much worse.you have around 13 budgies in each box (im saying box because it is way too small to even fit one budgie.) usually theyre all huddled together, and you can pick out atleast one in each that doesnt look well. along with this there is only two DOWELL perches, which most definetly has caused bumble foot in the majority of said birds. dirty water and dirty floors of cages, with absolutely horrible conditions for the majority of the birds. the only good conditions is the large aviarys that only some of the birds are in, and the rest of the birds are sidelined.the macaw (their only selling point) has a cage that is way to small, and is only around twice its size. the entire store is genuinely so deppresing, and it isnt even like “every bird store is like this” because it isnt, go anywhere else and it is so much nicer. the owner is sometimes alright and sometimes really bad.in the end, dont support this man. the cages are seriously overpriced, and once again, no, those arent normal prices. go anywhere and youll see.

On election day, we got a BIRD! a very unique budgie in color (a mix)according to the expert bird guy in the shop, his name is Johnny. He is amazing! He is so knowledgeable about birds, he is friendly, helpful, patient, humorous, funny and he just got everything to make our first bird purchase experience unbelievably wonderful! He even gently re-assembled the bird cage that my friend gave to us and make sure the bird will be living in a nice and comfortable one. Another bonus point, Thank you for the mum called Sherrie in the shop. She gave us a LOT of information about how to raise a bird(routines, tips etc). A really informative and real-life orientation for us to start a journey for petting a bird. Thank you Jonny and Sherrie, you made a GREAT DAY for me and my daughter !If you go to this shop, please find Johnny, I heard he is also a bird judge on bird shows. We went another day and met another guy, I was told he was the shop owner, very unpleasant experience.Find Johnny, if you can bump into the mum Sherrie, you are really LUCKY !

I purchased an Aus x English budgie mix from here a few weeks ago and a couple of days ago he died of an internal parasite that he had had since we got him. If you are going to purchase a bird from here I implore you to get it health checked before its too late! Here's a picture of Dobie the day we got him #justicefordobie

Definitey recommend leaving your birds at Nunawading Birds and Pets while you are away on holidays. Their price per day is reasonable and their service is great. We were away for 34 days and Michel took great care of our baby cockatiels while we were away. He fed them, cleaned their cage and my birds loved the company of all the birds in the bird shop. Will definitely leave my birds with Michael when I go away again.

The best place to buy a hand raised baby bird. Very Happy with our new pet galah bruiser, he loves his adventures around our home, The best part is bruiser picked us out with his kisses and needy scratches. He now knows how to shake hands and has a growing vocabulary after just a few weeks. Such a sweet boy will happily except pats from anyone who visits which is unusual I hear.

I went to this shop today and I’m really happy with their service.I never had birds and first time I went to a bird shop. He explained everything clearly and guided me the best birds to buy.He was really kind and professional.Most surprising thing is, he gave me some birds free of charge as a compliment.Thank you very much and happy to come back again.
