It's A Birds Thing

We had a fantastic experience with Lee at the weekend. We thought we knew what kind of bird we wanted, but after spending a couple of hours with Lee and the birds, and talking about different kinds and what we were looking for, we found our forever friend. Lee is very knowledgeable, friendly and experienced. He put me at ease, especially as I was nervous as I'm not confident with birds, unlike my other half who has had birds before. Our new hand reared friend settled in at home immediately. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, or a better bird. Lee also sells toys, food and sand sheets - anything you may need to get started with your new friend. He even recommended a vet.
We highly recommend! Thanks again Lee!

I would like to say a massive thank you to Lee for the great customer service and the beautiful boy we have now in our family! Meet Zeus!! Would highly recommend Lee to anyone thinking of getting a feathered companion! He truly knows his stuff.

Having just purchased 5 Gouldian finches from Lee, I wanted to share my experience. With living in the North East of Scotland it’s very difficult to locate and purchase finches without a 5 hour drive. I googled and found that Lee offered a delivery service using independent bird couriers. I’ve never heard of such a service and was somewhat sceptical but I must say that Lees actions have surpassed all the sceptics out there. Everything flowed well and comms from the couriers on delivery time was spot on.
If you are thinking of buying from Lee but have doubts, please don’t as he is a genuine seller who delivers as promised.
Will recommend and use again.

Great experience.
My top tip is phone up first. Ask for prices.
Let them know your knowledge of keeping birds.
Very pleased with the pair of cockatiels we picked up (they was not cheap, pun intended.) Both are finger tame. Settling in nicely.
Highly recommend this place if you want to buy well adjusted well kept birds

I found It's a bird thing through a search on the internet and gave them a call. Lee answered the phone and I was looking for something very specific which were a pair of male and female lovebirds. He didn't have any in but said he'd keep an eye out. Afew weeks later he got in touch and said he'd come across two but didn't know their sexes so he suggested to DNA test them if i wanted to know for sure which I agreed to, 5 days later the results came back as 1 male 1 female. He arranged them to be delivered a week later. I could not recommend this place enough, I am already looking at some budgies for my mother for a christmas present. The price is extremely reasonable including the delivery ( as I live 160 miles away, that was also first class ) I couldn't be happier with the service and hospitality... I highly recommend!

Recently purchased this beautiful cockatiel from Lee & its been everything I could have wanted. Lee gave really helpful advice before & after purchase spending a good deal of time discussing the birds in a 'no pressure to purchase' environment. The birds all look really happy & healthy in his care. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a feathered friend. Thanks Lee <3

Highly recommend buying from it's a bird thing! I've been using Lee's company now for a few years, and I would never buy from anyone else now. He's an expert in his field, and he has a huge collection of beautiful birds! Not only can you get hand reared birds (that definitely helps to tame your new feather baby), but you can also go back to him for help or advice anytime after you've purchased! He's given me advice many times, long after the purchase, and that's invaluable me, and also to new & experienced buyers.
I've attached some pics of some of the birds I've had over the years, all purchased from Lee.
Anyone looking to buy a bird should 100% buy from here. There's loads of beautiful birds to choose from, but not only that, you can get everything you could possibly need. From cages, food, toys, and anything else you can think of. All in all, I'd strongly suggest coming to a reputable seller, instead of any shop where there's nowhere near the amount of care involved, and you'll have support way after your first visit 👍 10/10.

My partner went over at the start of the week and came home with our first Alexandrine. Lee has been absolutely fantastic with sharing knowledge and advice even with our other birds we have purchased elsewhere. The set up he had was lovely and clean and even had food, perches and a carry bag for us to purchase to bring him home in. Our new baby has a lovely temperament and has been looked after to the best he can be. It's clear how passionate and caring Lee is about his birds and that's all you could ask for. Would not go anywhere else now.

Lee is your guy if you are ever looking for any loving birds, Cages or Bird food as well as toys, I mean it's a one-stop shop, and believe me, you won’t be disappointed. He is a genuine guy who has some of the nicest well-tamed birds. I bought mine yesterday and she is already following commands on day 2 and well cuddly. Cheers Lee.

Well, what can I say about Lee and his feathered friends?
Our daughter is autistic and has been bird obsessed since the age of 4. Fast forward 6 years and we finally caved and agreed she could have a bird. She was very specific about what she wanted, that being a Lineolated Parakeet - specifically a blue one. My knowledge on the subject was minimal, my only experience being that my grandparents had cockatiels and an African Grey while I was growing up. Our daughter however had done her research. So I embarked on locating a breeder, which brought us to Its a birds thing.
Lee was fantastic from the outset, knowledgeable and flexible in us visiting. Completely unphased when told I’d be bringing my daughter who may ignore him. We travelled an hour and a half and while I’m sure he had better things to do, he spent ages letting her pick the blue birdy she wanted, answered all our questions and was just genuinely lovely and patient.
Blueberry was purchased and settled in well. Worried he may need a friend, we then returned a couple of months later and banana the very tame cockatiel joined us. We then got an even bigger cage as our daughter wanted them to have more space and toys. Our daughter absolutely elated with her new found feathered friends, wanted budgies as well. What she actually wanted was a pair of parakeets, a pair of cockatiels and a pair of budgies.
So yet again we went back to Lee who as per the norm, was exceptionally helpful. He sent us a video of all the budgies he had so that our daughter could choose the ones she wanted and he then reserved them. On the day we went to collect them, we left with the two chosen budgies and another cockatiel. Had he of had any parakeets left, we’d have left with one of them too! Alas we will return when he has more of them.

So, why have we returned twice after our first purchase? First and foremost, Lee is a genuinely lovely chap. The cages are clean. The birds all animated and doing their bird thing, as one would expect from healthy happy birds. Lee’s knowledge is vast and comes from a wealth of experience. He was patient and kind in relation to our daughter. He isn’t pushy in the slightest in relation to sales. He keeps in touch and answers any belated questions. All of the 5 birds we have purchased are healthy and thriving. He has a wide variety of birds to choose from.
Prices are very very reasonable.
You can also buy from Lee, everything you need for your new friend, including cages!

So, would I recommend him? Absolutely. People don’t invest the money and effort he quite clearly has, to make a quick sale. He clearly has the welfare of his birds at the heart of what he does. We will be paying him another visit when he has more parakeets. There’s every chance I will purchase a conure for myself at some point, when I can sweet talk my husband!
Go visit him. Go see the birds. Be warned however, you will likely end up with an aviary like we have!
We have a very happy daughter who is as invested in her birds as Lee. She reads to them, plays with them, feeds them and loves to play them music. I’ve no doubt they will keep her happy for many years to come.
