I have recently purchased and collected my conure from its a bird thing and im glad i did very professional, helpful and honest. He was honest and said my conure was semi tame and was happy to go through the best way to tame and only after a few hours of being at home my conure has come on really well.I would highly recommend to anyone looking at purchasing a bird weather its their first time buying or have had birds before.He also has a facebook group and has regular updates on there.I would also like to say the 2 bad reviews on here are completely fabricated and i would not listen to them.If you want to get an accurate review i recommend going on to the facebook group.Thanks again its a birds thing i couldn't be happier with the experience and advice aswell as my beautiful conure.

I had been after a handreared cockatiel for months but I couldn't find one near me. I found Lee on one of the bird groups. he was friendly answered all my queries quickly and advised me on all his birds and he sent me pictures of the handreared cockatiels I ordered one and he arrived this morning, he is beautiful he has already let me scratch his head and give him cuddles he has already slept on me I'm so impressed with how tame he is! me and my partner adore himThe negative comments on here are no way true, my pumpkin is so tame and he's not skittish or scared at all he's completely calm. If you want a beautiful hand reared baby Lee is your go to man for that.Thank you Lee for our beautiful little Pumpkin 🎃

My partner went over at the start of the week and came home with our first Alexandrine. Lee has been absolutely fantastic with sharing knowledge and advice even with our other birds we have purchased elsewhere. The set up he had was lovely and clean and even had food, perches and a carry bag for us to purchase to bring him home in. Our new baby has a lovely temperament and has been looked after to the best he can be. It's clear how passionate and caring Lee is about his birds and that's all you could ask for. Would not go anywhere else now.

Well, what can I say about Lee and his feathered friends?Our daught...

Well, what can I say about Lee and his feathered friends?Our daughter is autistic and has been bird obsessed since the age of 4. Fast forward 6 years and we finally caved and agreed she could have a bird. She was very specific about what she wanted, that being a Lineolated Parakeet - specifically a blue one. My knowledge on the subject was minimal, my only experience being that my grandparents had cockatiels and an African Grey while I was growing up. Our daughter however had done her research. So I embarked on locating a breeder, which brought us to Its a birds thing.Lee was fantastic from the outset, knowledgeable and flexible in us visiting. Completely unphased when told I’d be bringing my daughter who may ignore him. We travelled an hour and a half and while I’m sure he had better things to do, he spent ages letting her pick the blue birdy she wanted, answered all our questions and was just genuinely lovely and patient.Blueberry was purchased and settled in well. Worried he may need a friend, we then returned a couple of months later and banana the very tame cockatiel joined us. We then got an even bigger cage as our daughter wanted them to have more space and toys. Our daughter absolutely elated with her new found feathered friends, wanted budgies as well. What she actually wanted was a pair of parakeets, a pair of cockatiels and a pair of budgies.So yet again we went back to Lee who as per the norm, was exceptionally helpful. He sent us a video of all the budgies he had so that our daughter could choose the ones she wanted and he then reserved them. On the day we went to collect them, we left with the two chosen budgies and another cockatiel. Had he of had any parakeets left, we’d have left with one of them too! Alas we will return when he has more of them.So, why have we returned twice after our first purchase? First and foremost, Lee is a genuinely lovely chap. The cages are clean. The birds all animated and doing their bird thing, as one would expect from healthy happy birds. Lee’s knowledge is vast and comes from a wealth of experience. He was patient and kind in relation to our daughter. He isn’t pushy in the slightest in relation to sales. He keeps in touch and answers any belated questions. All of the 5 birds we have purchased are healthy and thriving. He has a wide variety of birds to choose from.Prices are very very reasonable.You can also buy from Lee, everything you need for your new friend, including cages!So, would I recommend him? Absolutely. People don’t invest the money and effort he quite clearly has, to make a quick sale. He clearly has the welfare of his birds at the heart of what he does. We will be paying him another visit when he has more parakeets. There’s every chance I will purchase a conure for myself at some point, when I can sweet talk my husband!Go visit him. Go see the birds. Be warned however, you will likely end up with an aviary like we have!We have a very happy daughter who is as invested in her birds as Lee. She reads to them, plays with them, feeds them and loves to play them music. I’ve no doubt they will keep her happy for many years to come.

Highly recommend buying from it's a bird thing! I've been using Lee's company now for a few years, and I would never buy from anyone else now. He's an expert in his field, and he has a huge collection of beautiful birds! Not only can you get hand reared birds (that definitely helps to tame your new feather baby), but you can also go back to him for help or advice anytime after you've purchased! He's given me advice many times, long after the purchase, and that's invaluable me, and also to new & experienced buyers.I've attached some pics of some of the birds I've had over the years, all purchased from Lee.Anyone looking to buy a bird should 100% buy from here. There's loads of beautiful birds to choose from, but not only that, you can get everything you could possibly need. From cages, food, toys, and anything else you can think of. All in all, I'd strongly suggest coming to a reputable seller, instead of any shop where there's nowhere near the amount of care involved, and you'll have support way after your first visit 👍 10/10.

When I got there to have my bird, he shared everything he knows about it and assured me he's here to help afterwards as well. I messaged him twice afterwards and he was prompt to answer and really helpful. My conure came with a ring so I didn't have to deal with it either.
