Testimonials

Grooming Services for a Senior Sun Conure

We took our Sun Conure Parrot for a nail and beak trim. The staff were very pleasant and professional and handled our senior parrot with ease. The prices were reasonable too. The drive was also lovely. Thank you 😊

Exceptional Bird Selection and Service

I've been coming here for awhile and have purchased three different birds from Exotic Wings. They are knowledgeable and have a great selection of birds and bird products. Their pricing and selection are also both way better than any of the chain pet stores. I also appreciate the requirement of an appointment to purchase a bird. It deters impulsive purchases.

Highly Knowledgeable Staff and Excellent Products

Love this store! Very knowledgeable staff who do not rush you and are happy to answer any questions. Lovely products, both with regards to feed and toys, and live animals. We've had nothing but good experiences here.

Nail Trimming for Budgies

Took the wee budgie in for a nail trim. Very reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. There's plenty of parking beside the store, and a couple of spots on the road in front. Appointments are necessary.

Trustworthy and Experienced Team

Best Birds EVER!  This team ensures safety and trust when you need to leave your Birds…I got my Amazon here in St Clements 22 years ago and they never disappoint.  Mark with his words of wisdom and Lisa with her patience and expertise and then the slick team who process orders and facilitate the business - let you rest assured you’ve found the right mix here.  They’re the best.

Going Above and Beyond

Absolutely top-notch service. They carry in stock hard-to-find parrot accessories. Easy to communicate, getting advice on the phone and making adjustments to an already placed but not yet shipped product. Had an exclusive situation where I needed them to go an extra mile to achieve the goal, and without hesitation, they were able to cater to my needs. Will definitely continue to buy from them. Thank you all!

Outstanding Grooming Services and Customer Care

My Dad and I took our Quaker Parrot and Goffin Cockatoo🕊️ to get grooming services done! I was so impressed with our overall experience! Lisa was so welcoming and especially kind and helpful in assisting us with answering our questions and recommending products that would be good for the parrots!

Highly Recommended for First-Time Bird Owners

My 13 year old son recently purchased a hand raised budgie, and it is absolutely the most wonderful pet we have ever owned. The pet shop gave us excellent care instructions as well as everything we needed to start off on the right road.  I would definitely recommend visiting if you are even just considering a bird as a pet. They are fantastic!

Patti D.

Super Impressive Selection

Very helpful and informative. Has the largest selection of bird toys and accessories I have seen in Ontario. They also board birds. On top of all of the bird stuff they also sell dog, cat, reptile, and small animals supplies as well. Highly recommend.

Excellent Service and Fast Shipping for Specialty Items

Ordered my Frozen Aquatic Turtle food from Exotic Wings because I could not find it anywhere here in this area anymore.  Shipped with Ice packs and arrived the next day still frozen.  Thank you so much.  Great service.

Humble Beginnings

Store Opens

Exotic Wings and Pet Things Inc. was established in 1994 by Mark and Lisa Koenig in St Clements, Ontario, Canada. The Koenigs, passionate about aviculture, envisioned a specialty store that would cater to bird enthusiasts and pet lovers. Initially, the store began as a small part time operation focusing on the sale of pet birds, bird supplies, grooming, and a few other pet accessories.

Educational Initiatives

A significant aspect of Exotic Wings and Pet Things Inc. has been its commitment to education. Recognizing the importance of informed pet ownership, Mark began offering seminars at avian events, and one-on-one consultations with customers in store. These educational initiatives were aimed at helping customers understand the needs and care requirements of their pets, promoting responsible pet ownership, and fostering a deeper appreciation for avian pets.

Adapting to Market Changes

In the 2000s, with the advent of e-commerce, Exotic Wings and Pet Things Inc. adapted to the changing market landscape by launching an online store. This move enabled the business to reach a wider audience and offer its products and expertise beyond the local community. The online store featured a comprehensive range of pet supplies, accessories, and live animals, coupled with detailed care guides and customer support.

Growth & Expansion

Over the years, Exotic Wings and Pet Things Inc. gained a reputation for its high-quality products, knowledgeable staff, and education of their clients. This led to a growing customer base and necessitated expansion. By the early 2000’s, the store had broadened its inventory to include a wide range of pets, such as reptiles, small mammals, and tropical fish, alongside an extensive selection of pet supplies and a small seasonal outdoor garden section.

2004 was the beginning of permit applications, and in 2005 construction expansion began.  The new addition was completed in 2006 offering additional retail, office, and warehouse space, and bird boarding accommodations.

Changing Our Retail Environment

Appointment Based Retail Shopping

One-on-one customer service and educational retail shopping was developed over the course of the “covid years”.  Appointment based shopping and grooming allows for optimal customer service for the bricks and mortar customers.

Improving The Experience

Customer Service Centre

Reorganization of the retail space and the creation of an express store and customer service counter allowed Exotic Wings to expand the ever growing need for the online order demand in today’s current retail market, while also continuing to service the bricks and mortar customers.  The creation of an education space allows for a calm atmosphere for customers to meet potential pets, ask questions, and be fully informed about their purchases.
