5 Best Bird Shops in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A budgie needs a different shop than a poodle. Toronto's bird shops range from general pet stores with a small aviary section to Exotic Pets Toronto, a Scarborough shop that deals almost nothing but birds and has logged 478 Google reviews doing it. The shops below sit between 4.4 and 4.9 stars, and where a shop lands on that spread has a lot to do with how deep its bird knowledge actually runs.

Short answer: For anyone bringing home a bird, Exotic Pets Toronto (4.4, 478 reviews) is the specialist: reviewers describe hand-raised budgies, conures, and even a 25-year-old African grey the owner carefully rehomed. For general pet supplies with a real bird section, Pet Cuisine And Accessories (4.8, 751 reviews) stocks cages and live birds alongside cat and dog food. Expect a starter cage and setup to run well into the hundreds of dollars once you add a proper enclosure and toys.

Pet Cuisine And Accessories

4.8751 Google reviews

Pet Cuisine And Accessories is a full-line pet supply store on Front Street East that carries food and gear across cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and birds, with Google listing it directly as a Bird shop alongside its broader pet-supply category. The shop runs a Paws and Learn workshop series where staff introduce kids to the animals they carry, including love birds. It also offers grooming for cats and dogs on site, so it functions more as a general pet supply hub than a bird specialist.

What people praise

  • Staff described as knowing every fact about the animals they carry
  • Workshop program lets families handle birds and other small animals before buying
  • Wide stock of high-quality pet food alongside bird cages and supplies
  • Staff patient with questions, described as never pushy on recommendations

Worth knowing

  • Birds are one department among several, not the core focus
  • Grooming complaint on record involving a different department (dog grooming)

Our take: Solid choice if you want bird supplies while also stocking up on food for other pets, and the workshop is a genuinely nice touch for a first-time bird family. For a dedicated bird specialist, look further down this list.

PP Pet Downtown

4.9540 Google reviews

PP Pet Downtown is a Yonge Street pet supply store carrying a broad range of goods for cats and dogs, from wood cat trees to litter and treats. Nothing in its Google profile, reviews, or site text mentions birds, live animals, or aviary supplies; its listed type is simply Pet supply store.

What people praise

  • Staff give quick, low-pressure product tips
  • Consistent praise for fair pricing and quality goods
  • High repeat-customer rate noted by several reviewers

Worth knowing

  • No evidence in reviews or site content that it carries birds or bird supplies

Our take: A well-regarded general pet shop, but we found nothing tying it to birds specifically. It appears here mainly because it also serves the broader Toronto pet-shop search; if you need bird supplies, check with them directly first.

All Pets

4.7372 Google reviews

All Pets on Church Street bills itself as a full-line specialty pet store for cat and dog supply needs in downtown Toronto, with a sister same-day delivery service called Toronto Pets. Reviews and site copy both center entirely on cats and dogs. There's no mention of birds, live animals, or an aviary section anywhere in its own marketing.

What people praise

  • Staff repeatedly praised by name for going above and beyond
  • Hard-to-fit items like greyhound harnesses handled with real care
  • Free food and treat samples at checkout

Worth knowing

  • No indication the shop stocks birds or bird supplies

Our take: A genuinely loved neighborhood shop, but its own website only talks cats and dogs. Not the pick if birds are the point of your visit.

The Beastiary Pet Shop logo
#4🕑 Open 7 days

The Beastiary Pet Shop

4.8298 Google reviews

The Beastiary Pet Shop in Cabbagetown covers dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles, describing itself as Toronto's shop for the usual and the unusual. Its site menu lists dedicated sections for reptiles and fish but no separate bird category, and none of its five Google reviews mention birds; they focus on betta fish, snakes, and reptile bioactive setups.

What people praise

  • Owner and staff praised as deeply knowledgeable, especially on reptiles and fish
  • Same-day local delivery available
  • Wide variety of unusual pets and products beyond the typical big-box selection

Worth knowing

  • No reviews or site evidence of a dedicated bird department

Our take: Great for exotics generally, reptiles and fish especially, but we couldn't confirm birds are part of the offering. Worth a call ahead if a bird is what you're after.

Exotic Pets Toronto

4.4478 Google reviews

Exotic Pets Toronto, a Scarborough shop on Kingston Road, deals almost exclusively in birds and sugar gliders, and its Instagram bio says exactly that. Reviewers describe buying budgies, conures, Quaker parrots, and African greys here, several after months of prior contact with the owner about temperament and pairing. Staff are described as hand-raising baby birds and carefully matching them to the right home rather than selling to the first buyer.

What people praise

  • Owner personally hand-raises baby budgies, conures, and parrots before sale
  • Reviewers describe deep post-purchase support on bird care questions
  • Owner reportedly waits to see which adopter a bird bonds with, rather than rushing a sale
  • Store stocks cages, perches, and bird-specific toys and treats

Worth knowing

  • A reviewer flagged wing-clipping as a practice they'd like reconsidered
  • Hours are limited (closed Mondays), so plan a visit in advance

Watch: 5 Best Bird Shops in Toronto (2026)

How we score

Rating is the shop’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a review, ranked against similar shops. Confidence blends rating with volume so a perfect score built on a handful of reviews doesn’t outrank a proven track record. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing the shop. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does bird ownership cost to start in Toronto? (2026)

None of the shops on this page publish specific bird or cage pricing on their sites or in reviews, and costs vary hugely by species (a budgie setup and a parrot setup are not the same budget). Expect the bird itself, a properly sized cage, and initial supplies (perches, toys, food) to be the main line items; ask each shop directly for current pricing before you visit.

Bird shops across Toronto

These five span downtown (Front Street East, Yonge Street, Church Street, Cabbagetown) out to Scarborough’s Kingston Road corridor, so there’s a genuine option whether you’re near the harbourfront or further east. If you’re searching “bird shop near me” and land here, the downtown cluster covers most central neighborhoods, while Exotic Pets Toronto is the one worth the drive east if birds specifically are the goal.

What to ask before you buy a bird

  • Was the bird hand-raised, and is it used to being handled?
  • What’s the bird’s current diet, and what will I need to switch to at home?
  • What cage size and setup do you recommend for this species?
  • Do you offer any support or advice after purchase if I run into questions?
  • Is the bird DNA-sexed or health-checked before sale?
  • What’s your return or exchange policy if the bird doesn’t settle in?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these bird shops?

We looked at Toronto pet and bird shops with a real Google presence, then ranked them by rating, review volume, and how consistently recent customers are still reviewing them.

Which of these actually specializes in birds?

Exotic Pets Toronto is the clear specialist, both in its own marketing and in what reviewers describe buying. The other four are general pet supply stores; some stock bird cages and food, but their reviews center on cats and dogs.

How often is this updated?

We refresh this list periodically using current Google data; this version was verified in August 2026.

The bottom line

If you’re buying a bird, go to Exotic Pets Toronto first, its reviews back up the specialty in real detail. For cage setups, food, and toys, Pet Cuisine And Accessories carries a legitimate bird section alongside its broader stock. The other shops on this page are strong for cats and dogs but didn’t show clear evidence of bird supplies in what we found.
