pet-shop

Online Bird Shop - Bird Toys, Bird Perches, Bird and chicken Medications !!

We know how hard it is to find bird safe toys and Bird-Vet products On-line.  All our Avian  staff are more than a little obsessed with spoiling their own birds and the Bird-Vet-Melbourne quakers.  Consequently, our reception has become a fully stocked Bird-Pet-Store with an emphasis on some of the most amazing bird toys, bird perches and bird play-gyms that you will see.  If you can't find what you want - let  know.  The team at the Vet for birds are always looking for an excuse to get new products!

Harold - Rooster Chicken tutu
Dr. Kelly Gan's pet: Harold - The Next Top Rooster wearing his tutu.

Chicken Tutus!!!!!

Yes they're a thing!!!!  OK, so they may have started out as a fun way to prevent a chicken pecking at a back injury... but they're so awesome they became a fashion statement at the Chicken-vet.

If you don't believe us just ask Harold.  He just won the 2023 title of Next Top Rooster and we thinks he wears his tutu at chicken very well.

If you want a tutu for your chickens make sure you visit our online store or clinic.

Furthermore, if you want to teach your chicken to dance, book in with our avian behaviourist or come to chicken school!!!

Also, we have expert chicken vets here, so get your chicken checked out at the Melbourne Chicken Vet.
