what are the stores?
Wild animals are called 'wild' for a reason. Keep them that way. Adopt your pets, or buy them from a certified breeder.

I'm not a huge fan of the thingsforwings site. They're nice toys,s but they're of a style jack would just ignore.

The french site; I had a look at some of the prices, but so far it is more expensive per item than the american site i like.

I'll have to have another look at it, and the other one though. I'll have a closer look when i can.

Thanks!

BTW: The american site is...http://www.mysafebirdstore.com/

I've bought from thingsforwings.ca and picked my order up from the owner as we both live in Vancouver. Danita is a very nice lady and my birds enjoy the toy/toy parts very much.

Anywhere, really. If I find something I think he'll like, I buy it. I've got a few things online too but I really prefer to see something in-person before I buy it.

Don't have any more Canadian stores, do you?

Oliver's Garden has a toy that is literally a piece of string with a bead on it. And they want you to buy it for $2.50 each. The hanging rope toys are neat, but i dont have the place for them at the moment.

The French one is charging double the price of the american store. I refuse to pay 30 bucks for a bird toy. You should be able to find all the toys you liked about the french one, for half the price at that birdsafestore i posted.

The French one as you allude to has taxes included in their prices. The service is great and it's one of my favorite places to shop. Mind you, I do tend to go for her line of toys because I find them much more interesting than the "generic" toys.

I'm not particularly fond of shopping in the states regardless of the toys appearing to be cheaper but shipping rates don't always makes it so and you never know if you'll get nicked with custom/duty fees. It has happened to me in the past. And then, the toys that seemed cheaper end up costing more.

Things for Wings is my favorite place and I've never got anything there that my birds haven't enjoyed.

More Canadian Stores.
