All Good Things Must Come To An End Eventually...
After much thought, I have made the terribly hard decision to wind up Beaky Things. I realise this will come as a shock to many of you & I want you to know that whilst this is a sad announcement, the last decade has been incredible for me for many reasons.
I started Beaky Things after I adopted my first parrot, & we know it never ends at just one! Very shortly thereafter Beaky Things was born. It was never my intention to start my business, it just happened in my quest to locate high quality, safe toys for my own flock.
Over the last 10yrs, Beaky Things grew steadily, survived a pandemic and many other hurdles & challenges along the way that comes with owning a small business. What stands out to me most, was you. I have a large number of loyal customers who have been buying toys from me since day one. I have enjoyed the chats, photos of your birds unboxing their toys & the satisfaction I had knowing I was getting safe toys out there to fellow bird parents.
As some of you are aware I am also a Vet Nurse, and own my own practice. As an owner of a rapidly growing clinic, my time to dedicate to Beaky Things has diminished. One thing I am incredibly proud of is the personalised & high standard of customer care I provide. With less & less time available each day it is getting harder to put in what I think is necessary to operate a successful & high standard business, & it is with that I have had to come to the realisation I just cannot do both.
So what is the plan from here? Well Beaky Things will remain open for a period of 6 weeks from now (ie until Mid June), unless I sell out of everything sooner. I have marked down all products to aid your stocking up of your favourites. Don’t forget that I offer free shipping of orders over $150, so don’t be shy to fill up your shopping cart!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to you all, whether you have purchased from me once or fifty times, online or in person. Each & everyone one of you is appreciated. If I can ask one thing, it’s to continue to support other small businesses like myself in any way you can
