Fantastic experience: Wonderful shop with very "hard to find" birds. I was looking all over Newcastle area for Canaries but no luck until I came here , 4 weeks ago I got my male canary from here and then came back a week ago and got 2 females. All 3 birds are doing well and my male canary sings super loud and beautiful. Everyone should go to this shop it has everything you can't find elsewhere I love it. And I'll be back for more canaries I'm expanding my cage size to virtually an Aviary great bird's here.

Negative experience: Purchased a large bird/parrot cage from here. The wheels broke after only a few months. Took it back and was interrogated about how I had used it. After some discussions they agreed to replace it. They replaced it with a cheaper (inferior) cage, never offered me a refund for the difference in price. Even after interrogating me about how I used the first cage, the replacement cage was completely unfit for purpose and how I told them I used it. They told me they didn't have to give me any refund/ replacement. The woman then basically told me I should have researched it more myself. I was never given any care instructions with the products, never told I couldn't hose the cage out or bath the bird in it. I would never have accepted the replacement cage if I knew how inferior it was in quality. The staff gave me a replacement cage knowing it wouldn't be suitable either. Not impressed at all. Both cages absolute junk for the price (over $500).

Fantastic experience: I've bought many bird supplies from here that are very high quality and a good price! I've also bought a cockatiel and I got her for $80 off! If you need bird supplies or want to buy a feathered friend I highly recommend this place!

Emo 5 months ago

Negative experience: I purchased a cockatiel, apparently "hand raised" a couple of weeks ago. The cockatiel has broken tail feathers, had yellow stains on it and was alone and obviously neglected. There was no toys or barely any cage room to the point it was always on the cage floor, and clearly terrified of people. I am not happy with how they treated a bird and now has butched wings and broken feathers. It can barely fly. I don't recommend.

Hey Emo, sorry to hear that you weren’t happy. We always strive to provide the best quality hand raised birds. If you want to get in contact we are happy to sort something out with you.
I’m not sure if you have had much experience with hand raised birds but when they move environments they generally stress, so sometimes they can hide in corners until they become comfortable and come out of their shell. It can take a bird up to 6 weeks to fully settle into their new home, even with babies we bring from home do this.
They also can break tail feather when they climb the side of cages. We have them in 24 & 30inch flight cage which is definitely enough room for a young hand raised cockatiel. Again if you throw them into a massive cage that young they stress more which is why we use these cages. Majority of small parrots are weaned in cages like this so they are familiar with it. We usually have at least 1 toy or foot toy available for them. Wings are clipped in a way they float to the ground. We do this because if the birds starts to fly and gets up onto the roof of the mezzanine they won’t come down.
There is also the case where birds come to us from other breeders not experienced with trimming wings correctly unfortunately.

Fantastic experience: Nice pet shop with loads of different supplies to suit all your needs. Love going in there sometimes and just browsing around at what they have for birds and to see what Canaries and Finches they get in. The two beautiful big Macaws at the back of the store greet you with a lovely "Hello" as you walk up to their cages too.

Fantastic experience: Best place to get hand raised birds. Got my first cockatiel from them a year ago, absolutely fell in love. Just bought another two today. beautiful colours, temperaments, all with unique personalities. I love going there and checking out there wide range of birds, from budgies, to macaws. Bunnies, to puppies. Lizards to snakes. they take such good care of their animals, and you can tell how much love and effort goes into each and every one. Highly recommend.

Took you a while Jessica Davis to do this. You have exhausted every other avenue. You are well known in the bird community for your scamming, threatening lies. We have had multiple people get in contact with your lastest victim just the other day. But we appreciate all the continuous slander that you do publicly as we gather all this info. Threatening us will not work. Your reign on scamming people is about to come to a screaming holt.
Thanks

Fantastic experience: This is a store I've been frequently using for a couple of years now. Every time I enter, I'm met with kind, respectful, and cheerful staff without fail. The quality in the reptile enclosures they provide is great and gives a realistic background that my snakes constantly make use of. If you're looking for a friendly and trustworthy business, I recommend giving Jonaths Animal Kingdom a try. 10/10

Stephen Westgarth 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: We’ve been regular customers of Jonath’s animal kingdom for several years. Hand raised parrots we’ve purchased from Jodie and Nathan include African Greys and a Catalina Macaw. Our parrots are in excellent condition and were hand raised by Jonath’s animal kingdom so they love to be handled. The follow up care and support we’ve received from Jonath’s is something that’s really appreciated and not found in many places. These guys are the real deal and we would highly recommend taking a look at Jonath’s animal kingdom for your next Pet. You won’t be disappointed. Happy customers, Steve & Suzy

Rebecca Jemm 2 years ago

Negative experience: I would never and would advise others to never purchase anything from this store again. The employees are uneducated and the owner is RUDE! They do not have the knowledge to provide their customers with correct crucial care instructions in order to take care of the purchased pet. They will sell you an enclosure that is too small for the pet and take no responsibility for doing so. Then when approached about their actions, they will be completely disrespectful toward you for calling them out on what they have done, talk down to you and then block you from their page.

Jonath's Animal Kingdom
Jonath's Animal Kingdom

Thanks for the review, you were told multiple times that we (the owners) are currently overseas and to call the shop for any questions. You were blocked as we will not tolerate rude, abusive or threatening msgs from anyone. The axolotl starter kits are absolutely fine for baby axolotls and you were told from staff and also “owners” that you would need to upgrade to a 2-3ft tank. If you don’t know that animals need to poo then unfortunately we can’t help you. This is common sense information that everyone should know. But instead of calling the shop you decided to argue with us from the other side of the world. All products are refundable if unused and in original packaging. You had the option of purchasing a large tank (as we have these in stock) but decided not to. All information was given to you by staff in store and by myself on the page.
Unfortunately you didn’t like the answer you received and went on a rampage.
Thanks again have a great New Year!

Positive experience: A great little bird store in an easy location. Specialising in birds, they have an extensive range of avian foods and live birds available. There is a small range of rabbit and reptile foods, but not for larger animals. There is a wheelchair accessories entrance with a ramp, and side street parking is relatively ample.

Annie Marov 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend Jonath’s Animal Kingdom. We picked up our new baby Eclectus yesterday and have to say the hand rearing of this parrot was beyond our expectations, he was so well cared for during this time, not only that we were kept informed of his progress along the way as we didn’t live close by. We were sent photos and given updates on how he was progressing with his feeding etc. and encouraged to visit him. We have purchased Eclectus parrots previously locally and the experiences were poles apart! Previously we were sold the parrots before they were completely weaned. A friend recommended Jonath’s to us and we now know that all our parrot needs will be met by them. Jodie & Nathan we thank you for going above and beyond!
