Where does everyone shop?

I was sitting here thinking I need more bird stuff (wow, shocking, isn't it?) and wondering which store/site to go to this time and started wondering if there were places I should know about out there. I'd love to hear all of your favorite stores/sites for bird food/toys/accessories. Here's mine:

General: Drs. Foster and Smith online
I get food, mostly, and stuff for the dogs and cats (flea control prices are good)

Toys: Busy Beaks and eBay for parts

When I need it now: Pet Supermarket when I can't wait for food from an online order...we also have PetCo, a discount place, and PetsMart, but Pet Supermarket seems to have a decent selection and the best in-store prices

So how about you all?

Julie Riley

Mybirdstore.com, which is also where I go in person, but they are like 2 hours away. If I need something right away, I go to the local pet store or to Pet Supplies Plus. I also do Ebay.

We've got some links to various sites in our link directory (although we are still looking for more!). Just an idea of where you might want to check out for some extra ideas.

I found a new place for toys called Parrot Angels Toys. I heard about this site from a member here. The prices are great and they give part of the money to different bird organizations.

Sydney's food, toys, etc. come from Omar's or Bird Stuff. Occassionaly on-line @ Foster & Smith's.

Absolutely refuse to shop at Petco & Petsmart. Prefer stores that cater to fids only.

I get a lot of stuff at Bird Paradise. It's not to far from me so I drive up; otherwise there is the website: Bird Paradise Shopping Cart.

I also visit two local bird stores, Fancy Feathers (in Blackwood, NJ) and Valle Birds (in Turnersville, NJ). They're right down the road from me so it's handy to run in and pick up pellets and toys.

I shop mainly at pet stores. I have 3 main ones that I go to. Each one has something different or the price is different.

Bird fairs, mostly. I plan on ordering from drs foster/smith and Aquarium Supplies, Pet Supplies and Pond Supplies by That Fish Place - That Pet Place They both seem to have pretty fair prices. I like ebay, but I am always cautious to make sure everything gets washed well because you never know where it's been or whose touched it. Bird fairs are my favorite as they have great prices and are just about every month.
