Bird Shop

Feathered companions - colorful family members!

In our ornamental bird shop you will find large aviaries, healthy main food, natural snacks and a huge selection of play and activity options for small zebra finches, cuddly lovebirds, singing canaries, chattering budgerigars, whistling cockatiels and demanding parrots.

We have a bird - or several of them! But not in our heads, but in our aviaries and bird enclosures. There aren't many pet shops that stock ornamental birds any more.

But as the managing director (Therese Schumacher), I bred birds myself for many years, so I simply can't imagine a shop without the chirping and chattering. I have also compiled school documents on the subject of bird keeping and taught students from all over German-speaking Switzerland on this subject for many years. As you can see, you've come to the right place when it comes to keeping ornamental birds. When it comes to enclosures and aviaries, we focus on size!

Because the basic need of a bird is to fly, and it cannot do this in small "cages"! The decision on the size of the aviary therefore always depends on whether the bird still has free flight in the home. If it has to stay in the enclosure, then please choose one that is large enough. The bird enclosures and aviaries are on display in different versions on the upper floor.

The bird food must of course be suitable for the species purchased. Our range includes suitable grain feed, but also extruded feed (all the necessary components in pellet form), sprouted feed, crackers and feed panicles, red and yellow millet, limestone, cuttlefish shells, vitamins and additives round off the nutritional range.

Sand and grit is not only a litter, but is also required by birds for digestion and it is therefore a legal requirement that all bird species that are granivores receive this. This can also be offered in a bowl. In addition to sand, beech wood shavings or forest floor (Chipsi Forest) can also be used as bedding. JR Farm has a range of great litter trays.

Feeding and drinking bowls, a bird bath and a feeding spike so that fresh food can be hung up are part of every basic set-up. You will need natural branches in various thicknesses and shapes for setting up. This ensures that the birds do not have to sit for years on the same diameter of plastic or wooden poles that are supplied with the enclosures. We have various vine branches and coffee tree roots in stock.

We have the largest selection of play and activity options in Switzerland! Customers who regularly visit us from far away tell us this time and again. Wooden ladders, swings, toys to destroy (= activity), balls, climbing nets, small and very large hanging toys - the birds' eyes would light up if they could fly past us. But as a loving bird owner, you can choose the best for your animals. Birds also need light and, above all, UV rays. These cannot pass through our windows and a light source is recommended for communication (birds see colours differently with UV light) and also for their metabolism with calcium. We have various models in stock in our shop,

For breeding you will find nesting material, nesting boxes, exotic and canary nests, colour rings for marking the young and rearing food. Please only breed if you have buyers for the young animals - we are against the uncontrolled reproduction of animals!

We look forward to welcoming you to our bird shop - see you soon!
