Gem Birds

Gem Birds has been around for many years, but has only recently relocated to Paddy’s Market. I don’t recall much about the previous location (which was a little further down Main North Road), but I thought I’d check out the new store.
The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the fact that he front of the store seems very cramped with cages on either side of you. It’s quite claustrophobic, but when you walk to the back it’s a little more open with larger cages and consequently larger birds. The problem with the cramped front end of the store is that the cages tend to smell. I understand this is normal when selling animals so I’d hardly call it a criticism.
The staff really know their stuff when it comes to birds. They are happy to discuss your situation and which bird would suit you, as well as options for raising and possibly training your new feathered friend. To assist with the training they offer a wing clipping service so your bird will stay grounded while you teach some tricks to impress your friends.
Cages are available out the front of the store for all sizes of bird, as are toys to keep your little friend entertained while you’re not around. Once again, staff can advise you of appropriate cage sizes and toys.
Don’t let the initial smell put you off. If you want a bird or advice on how to raise or train a bird, this is the place to go.
