Companion Pet Bird Types
We’ve organized our handfed companion birds into three size categories: Small, Medium, & Large. Our website has LOADS of information organized to help guide you through the process. Bird ownership doesn't have to be overwhelming, we're here to help every step of the way! Let us help find the right avian companion for you!

Please Note: All bird purchases & viewings are by appointment only. We do not accept walk in's for new bird purchases.
To make an appointment, you can reach us at (519) 699-5656 during business hours.
Our express store is open for walk-ins for your supplies! Full in store shopping is by appointment only, and have a limited capacity of four customers at a time. This is for a better customer service experience and allows us to serve you best.
In store shopping refers to the purchase of supplies for your pets. There are no birds on display for general viewing purposes and any new bird sales will be done by a separate appointment only in our avian education center.
If you are looking to purchase a new bird please call us at: 519-699-5656 and we can help find the right bird and appointment time for you! You will not be able to see any birds on display during a standard in store shopping appointment bookable online.
Our store layout has changed and evolved with our business model and for this reason having several customers in the store at once is no longer practical for Exotic Wings. We are happy to welcome customers back into our store with a new-normal, modified retail shopping experience! Bringing your own shopping bags is highly recommended!
Thank you for your understanding!
Our Benefits
All of our companion birds are raised from 3 weeks old and hand-fed by us multiple times per day. This, paired with training and socialization, produces friendly, hand-tame birds your family will bond with.
We will never send you home with an 'unweaned' bird. All of our birds are raised at the store until they are eating their pellet food on their own for a full week! We will not send them home with you before they are ready.
Our handfed birds are weaned onto high quality diets of pellets and fresh foods! Don’t worry about trying to get a picky seed-eating bird onto a better diet, they all come pre-equipped with excellent, healthy eating habits!

A Little About The Process
Here at Exotic Wings, we will not send you home with an unweaned bird. All birds must be eating completely on their own for at least 1 week before we notify you that your bird is ready for pickup. All of our baby birds are ‘abundance weaned'; we let them wean off hand-feeding formula and onto fresh foods and pellet diets at their own pace.
We go over a comprehensive care sheet before you can take your new bird home. We will make sure ALL of your questions are answered before you take your bird home and are set up for success with your new pet!
During your care sheet and adoption process, you will be able to handle your new bird before taking them home. We will teach you the do's and don'ts of handling birds, and how to start bonding with your new bird.
We spend time making sure our birds are hand-tame with a good foundation for training. It is up to you to foster your own bond with your new bird, and we will teach you how to do that before you take them home! We will discuss topics like proper housing, nutrition, enrichment, and what a bird-safe environment looks like for your home.
Have questions after you take your bird home? No problem! Drop us a line, or send us an email, and we will assist you! Exotic Wings is a judgment-free establishment and our main goal will always be the welfare of the birds, which continues even after they have gone to their new home. When you contact us to ask your questions, you help us to fulfill this goal!
