Petstores in New York?

Are there any good pet stores in New York? Stores with lots of birdtoys?

I would be glad to get the name of the store and the street it's on.

I found a store on Manhattan. They had lots of birdtoys and the staff were very friendly. I wish we had stores like that here in Sweden.

I gather you are home, and all went safe? did you have any problems bringing toys home? I know I have had company here from London and Australia and they had to watch what they could take back.

Wish I saw this thread sooner. I know I'm jumping onto this thread a bit late but just thought I should alert anyone interested in this question to another great bird-specific store in NY. Everyone knows "Parrots of the World" owned and run by Marc Morrone. But in Mineola on Jericho Turnpike is a store called "For Birds Only." I can't say enough good things about this place. It's literally family run. They too have a very large selection of birds, everything from macaws (all kinds) to budgies, and bird supplies. The couple that runs the store have been in buisiness there for, I believe, just over 25 years. They care a great deal about their birds and are very hands on with them. So, the birds are usually very approachable. They don't ship and are not as buisiness-oriented so they may not have a website. But, if youre close enough to get to Marc's place then you can also check this place out. They are not much further away. I also happen to live a few blocks from "For Birds Only."

I cant remember the name of the store I was at. Somthing birds... they had the birds in large glasscages and it was quite near 95th street Broadway.

I just put all toys in my bag and it werent any problems. I dont think they even weighed the bag :s so i could have bought more toys :P they had a lot of big toys that i didnt think would fit in my bag :(

I just have to say that your clothes are very cheap =) and the people were very kind and helpful.
