Bespoke aluminium aviaries, cages and enclosers.
AVI Fabrications is a family run business who specialise in making bespoke aluminium aviaries, cages and enclosures. We are based in the East midlands and are proud to say we have many happy customers throughout the UK and worldwide.
With over 45 years of experience keeping and caring for birds, we have always strived to display them safely and house them in quality cages that are hygienic, easy to keep clean, secure, well designed and rot proof. We take great pride in our work and build every aviary as if it was to house one of our own precious pets.
Budgie Rescue Wirral are a very small, home-based and self-funded rescue, operating in the Mersyside area.
We're in the process of registering as a charity, and hope to continue networking with other parrot and animal rescue organisations across the UK. We believe that we're stronger together!
Our aim is to advocate for budgies, promote budgie welfare, and support people too. We're always learning, and believe in a 'know better, do better' culture. These little budgies are beautiful, clever, but sadly often underestimated and undervalued; they deserve the very best and more education is needed. We strive to be compassionate and curious in all we do.
We rescue locally found (stray) budgies and try to reunite them with their guardians. We also take in surrendered budgies from across the North West. We have recently started an adoption process to rehome some of our rescued budgies to committed pet guardians and larger aviaries. We don't breed - believing that there are already enough budgies in this world who need loving homes.
What began as a small sideline, has become a steep learning curve; a growing community of committed bird lovers and fabulous supporters who we couldn't function without!

Mandy captures pet birds and parrots in oil paint, focusing on the personality and charm of each bird and the unique characteristics that bird owners will recognise.
A self-taught artist, Mandy is well known for her paintings of budgies but is also on a mission to paint as many of the world’s most popular pet birds and parrots as possible! A large range of cards, prints, homewares and original paintings will be available to buy at The Tropical Bird Show.
Charlie's Place UK Budgie Rescue (CPUK) is a small, registered charity, whose mission is to help create better lives for budgies.
Uniquely, the charity has a special interest in the care of budgies with PBFD and/or French Moult viruses. The charity's namesake was a PBFD warrior, himself, and is the reason that CPUK now exists.
Based in the Midlands, CPUK offers a safe, enriched sanctuary, as well as education, re-homing and adoption services, helping to provide captive budgies the very best lives possible.
Come meet CPUK's founder for as much budgie-based chat as you desire!

There's also a commercial dog grooming studio, a 22 bay kennel unit where many staff house their dogs, and a new dog agility and walking area too. The whole centre is worth over £3 million - a small price to pay to ensure you get the very best small animal care education the area has to offer.
