Nunawading Birds & Pets

Fantastic place with a friendly, knowledgeable owner who takes great care of his birds!

We're so happy with our purchase today. Got our little son a budgie, a cage with food and other accessories for the bird. The gentleman who works there was so helpful in such a professional & friendly manner. Would recommend this store to anyone.

Dropped in to have a look, and after visiting other stores with budgies I will admit I wasn’t expecting much. I was impressed by the range and quality in store and admittedly took a while before finally settling on two due to the large selection of great stock. There was also a wide variety of other birds and plenty of bird related products available too.

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 .

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

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.

Have just gotten my new family member here :) the shop owner is very chill and helpful. My little budgie is well tamed and healthy.

I boarded two birds for a month, Michael took very good care of them and provided a clean and safe place. Highly recommended for parrot boarding 👍👍👍

Very good quality birds and accessories...

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.

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 !

Love this shop, got everything for bird lovers.

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.

I've been going to this long-running, heritage business to buy my Avigrain Budgie Blue seed mix and calcium and mineral blocks for my budgies for about a year, and in my experience, it's always been clean and stocking healthy birds. There's usually a decent selection of birds of various species on offer too. Michael the owner has been great to deal with.

I purchased the Amazon Parrot this week and can’t thank Michael enough for his genuine expertise and knowledge. He was so helpful and it’s obvious he had a love of birds. Such a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to purchase a very well cared for hand reared Parrot! Thanks for a wonderful experience- I’m in love with our new family member “Sally” she is going to be a great addition to our family

Great shop and the best place to go for anything bird related. Staff are amazing and really know their stuff.

Absolutely brilliant place! The birds are amazing! Service was fantastic! The shop assistant on Saturdays is so friendly and helpful, Answered all our questions and spent the time with us that we needed in purchasing our Cockatiel. Highly Recommend!!! +++++++
Prices are extremely reasonable, such quality too!
We have had our bird for a week now and I had a few questions so I phoned the shop and the owner was very happy to speak with me and was so helpful.
I just can't speak highly enough of Nunawading Birds and Pets. We will definitely be back and will be sending our family and friends!

The ONLY one stop bird shop I go to in Melbourne. The staff are always friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable on all things bird. They always have a wide range of birds. I've been going there for several years and the bird always appear healthy, the shop is always clean and tidy. The staff are keen to share their knowledge on the birds in store , with prospective customers to ensure the right match with owner and bird, so their future home is a success.

Five star knowledge and experience with the birds. Been looking for a cockatiel since May and kept in touch with Michael since then. A few weeks ago we purchased a hand tamed bird on Saturday with Johnny 's help. Totally happy with our purchase and have a new family member now. Michael has been a great help and reassured us as new inexperienced owners with none of my questions being too stupid for him to answer!

This gentlemen cares enough about his birds to suss out his clients before he places a bird in their care.

After this initial consult he was so helpful, knowledgeable and gave us a great discount. All his birds were in great health and I recommend him as a professional.
