It's A Birds Thing

Great service and really happy with the hand reared conure purchased. Clear communication from the beggining and can not fault the delivery service either. The bird is doing really well, he is a very confident little character who is settling in well already, which is a testament to how well he has been raised and cared for.

Have been looking for owl finches for a while now & saw that ‘it’s a birds thing’ had some available, they were able to transport too.After reading the reviews I decided to enquire and purchased the birds.The finches arrived today in lovely condition and as agreed. Really pleased with my purchases & would recommend to anyone considering a bird, trusted seller.Thank you

Top quality birds kept in pristine conditions, sold by Lee who has huge knowledge and experience, and his hobby and passion is his business. He is always willing to share his knowledge with his customers, and potential customers, for the welfare of his birds and their new families. Pay him a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

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.

A really good person who has a good knowledge of birds 🐦

Lee is a really genuine bird lover and breeder. The birds are so well loved and raised. Highly recommended

Amazing guy with top quality Customer service

Honestly one of the best people to buy a bird from, Lee is amazing, the birds are well cared for and are amazing quality. We brought a hand reared sun conure from him about a week ago and couldn’t be thankful enough! Always stays in contact and even after weeks of buying he is happy to answer any questions or concerns you have! Helped set us up with a bird and a cage with all the accessories that was needed! 100% would recommend to anyone

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.

I bought 6 finches from Lee recently and could not be happier.All of the birds were in great condition.Lee was very welcoming and helpful.I would definitely buy from Lee again, should I need more birds in future.

Went to get a cockatiel lastnight, Lee was a pleasant guy with a lot of knowledge on the different birds he had. They all looked very well looked after and would definitely buy from him again. Would highly recommend

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.

I highly recommend it's a bird thing after purchasing 4 mountain parakeets. Lee was most helpful Regarding them and They were sent by animal Courier. They were well cared for and arrived happy. Not stressed at all.

Great service and quality birds

Lovely friendly family. Great set up with spotless husbandry. A pleasure to do business with. Thanks very much.

Very good place to buy a bird from ,lee is honest and you get a healthy bird lovely experience

I purchased two pairs of Owl finches, one pair of pure white zebra finches and two society finches. I had travelled from Wolverhampton to Northampton to pick them up. I was gobsmacked at his very professional setup. All birds are very well cared for, happy birds everywhere. I will be using Lee’s services again without doubt. His advice and experience is 2nd to none.

Lee is extremely knowledgeable and really cares about his birds. A really reliable source of quality stock for breeder or pet keeper. Highly recommended.

Bought a conure and cockatiel from Lee (conure a year ago and cockatiel a month ago). Great knowledgeable guy. Definitely recommend buying from him. Birds are healthy and happy. Definitely recommend you contact him if you want to buy a bird in Northampton!

I’ll recommend Lee to anybody who’s looking for birdies - tame or not. Clear and friendly communication and knows his stuff! Yesterday I had my little baby Linnie delivered - he is gorgeous and already chirping and chatting away from across the room to my 7mo old Linnie. I know who I’ll be coming to for any future birds I may have :)
