Places for Supplies

Sutton Aviaries

Simply the best shop in town. Although they no longer breed and sell babies, their knowledge is outstanding. Their toys are some of the best around. The birds housed at Sutton Aviary are permanent residences as they are the owner’s companions. What a treat to see such clean cages. Trays of the cages are cleaned three times a day! Plenty of fruits and veggies for these guys. Sutton Aviary boards birds and carries toys, food, cages, stands and much more.

33rd and Bird

Chances are that if you can’t find a particular food or weird supplies they’ve got it. Great for supplies, but know what your looking for.

Places for Birds

Petco (17th St. Union Square)

Believe it or not this place has great birds. The staff is knowledgeable and their birds come out of their clean cages daily, get fruits and veggies, and have lots of toys. These birds are well socialized and look healthy. Their babies are hand fed on sight and come with health certificates and polyoma vaccinations.
