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 😊

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.
