We interrupted an important meeting in the finch enclosure this morning...

Unfortunately nobody was willing to tell us what was discussed.

Double Bar Finches are one of our favourite little aviary birds. They're active, social and always seem to have something to gossip about.

If you're looking to add some character to your aviary, we currently have a number of Double Bar Finches available.

If you had a large reptile enclosure, what would you put in it? Scroll to the end to see what we did with ours 🤭

We've just received these awesome Reptile One décor pieces, including a large water bowl and tree stump that would look fantastic in the right setup.

Whether you're creating a naturalistic reptile habitat, an amphibian enclosure or just upgrading your current setup, these pieces can make a great centrepiece.

Also, please spare a thought for Jarrad, who arrived at work this morning expecting a normal shift and somehow ended up modelling reptile furniture for the entire internet 😂

Pop in and check them out at Aquabird Pet Centre!

Hermit crabs have entered the property market 🐚

Unlike most animals, hermit crabs don't grow their own shells. Instead, they spend their lives searching for the perfect home and moving whenever they find a better fit.

But here's the really interesting part...

When a larger shell becomes available, some hermit crabs will gather together and form a line from largest to smallest. As soon as the biggest crab moves into the new shell, the next crab takes its old shell, then the next crab takes that one, and so on.

It's basically a giant shell-swapping property chain!

Hermit crabs can also remember the locations of good shells, inspect potential homes before moving in, and will sometimes compete with other crabs for the best real estate.

Nature is weird, wonderful, and apparently very invested in the housing market. 🐚

Something exciting is happening for local fishkeepers...

One thing we love about the aquarium hobby is how willing people are to share their knowledge, plants, fish, tips and experiences.

That's why we're excited to see the launch of the Toowoomba Aquarium Society, created by Luke from The Aquarium House

The group aims to bring local fishkeepers together to:
🌱 Swap plants
🐠 Buy, sell and trade fish and equipment
🤝 Meet fellow hobbyists
📚 Learn from each other
🎉 Support future aquarium events in Toowoomba

Aquabird is proud to support community projects like this, and we're excited to see local hobbyists connecting, sharing knowledge and helping grow the aquarium community in our region.

IF YOU COULD ONLY CHOOSE ONE...

Imagine you had unlimited space, unlimited time and an unlimited pet budget.

You can own as many animals as you like...

BUT they all have to be the same type.

🦜 Birds
🐟 Fish
🦎 Reptiles
🐹 Small Animals

Which are you choosing?

No cheating and saying "all of them" 😂

Drop your answer below and tell us why 👇

Tell us your aquarium must-have. Let's see what gets the most votes 👇

Everyone talks about the fish...

But let's be honest - the aquarium products (like this MVP) are doing a LOT of heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Fritz Guard is one of those products we always like to have on hand.

Why are so many fish keepers switching to Fritz?
✅️ Highly concentrated formulas
✅️ Consistent dosing and results
✅️ Trusted by professional breeders and public aquariums
✅️ Strong reputation for quality control
