Hello everyone...

I have been asked buy a good friend of mine who has just opened a new pet supplies shop here in melbourne to help compile a list of of products that "BIRD PEOPLE" would like to see in her shop. theres a chance i may be doing a couple of days a week of work there while i study at uni and thought while i am there i would like to make it a great shop in melb to come and buy bird supplies, they do not sell animals just things for them. and she wants to stock the right products that bird people want...

any ideas or lists of products breeders, hobbyists or even joe blow would like to see in a pet supplies shop would be great.

they only opened on sat and have most basic bird products, seed, wormers, some plastic drinkers, couple of wire cages/stands, and some nest boxes(budgie and finch) that i can remember, they will be getting live food from Pisces as well....

any help and ideas would be great and i will suggest them to my friend.

Jarryd :)

If it gets large enough--
hospital box
fly breeding box
leg bands
rat/mice control
bird catching traps
seeds so people can make their own mixes.
