Watch: 5 Best Bird Shops in London (2026)

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other London bird shops. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over 700 reviews carries far more weight than the same score from a couple of hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a bird cost in London? (2026)

Bird prices in London vary enormously by species, from budgerigars and lovebirds through to African Greys and macaws. We could not source a trustworthy, unified published price list across these shops, so ask each one directly for current pricing on the species you want.

Serving all of London

The bird shops above are spread across greater London, including Hainault, Enfield, Perivale and the West End. Searching for bird shops near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number so you can check current stock before you visit.

What to ask before you buy a bird

  • Is the bird hand-reared, and how socialized is it with people?
  • What’s the shop’s policy if the bird develops health issues shortly after purchase?
  • Can I see the bird’s living conditions before I buy?
  • What food, cage size and setup does this species specifically need?
  • Do you offer any guidance or support after the sale?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these bird shops?

We started from every bird shop in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which London bird shop has the widest selection?

Haaris’ Pet Centre and The Enfield Bird Centre both stock a wide range from small finches through large parrots. If you’re after a specific large species like an African Grey, both are worth checking.

How much does a bird cost in London?

We could not source a trustworthy published price list across these shops, since pricing varies heavily by species. Ask directly for current pricing on the specific bird you’re interested in.

The bottom line

Haaris’ Pet Centre is the safe default given its review volume and consistent praise for bird welfare, while North West London Birds stands out specifically for ethical care and honest advice. Whichever shop you visit, ask to see the bird’s living conditions before you buy.
