It's Salad Day!
Our budgies enjoy their salad (aka "chop") every other day here at GCP. It is highly recommended that your parrots at home (or soft bills like canaries!) have salad every day or every other day to ensure happy and healthy feathered kids!
ITS BOGO SUNDAYYYY!! Happy December 1st!
Sundays are our shortest (open 12-5) in terms of operation hours, and busiest day! We thank you for your patience and cooperation while our "family" scatters to help each and every one of our beloved customers! Today, like EVERY 1st of the month....when you buy one fish priced at $11.99 or under, you get one free!! In need of a school of 6? Why not pay for only 3?! Seems like a silly question! 🐟
That being said, we look forward to seeing you! And again, thank you for your continued cooperation! See you soon!
Peek-a-boo! We hope to see you today for seniors day!! 15% off most things in our store (a few exclusions apply)!
🦃 Noah would like to wish everyone a happy "turkey day" by giving his very best impression!
Just a reminder that we are CLOSED tomorrow, October 14th, for Thanksgiving!
Enjoy your quality time with family, and of course good food too!! See you all on Tuesday 🥰
Happy terrarium Tuesday everyone!! Thinking about keeping isopods? Look at some of the possibilities 😍 Have pod/springtail questions? Ask away!
Do you have isopods at home? If so, send us a pic with the species and we would be happy to repost in the comment section!
What goes into bringing home a pair of budgies? Besides a proper sized cage, you should most definitely have...
-Food: one that the store is currently feeding AND a pellet to move them onto in the near future
-Millet: Fantastic low fat treat to win your new friend over! Also fantastic to minimize stress when you first bring home your fid.
-Toys: More the merrier! As long as you have a minimum of a few toys per bird and they're size appropriate (shredding toys are the best for budgies and conures!)
-Perches: It is necessary for birdie foot health to have multiple different textures and widths besides the traditional dowels the cage comes with
-Supplements: For beak, feather and over all health
-Bedding: We use corn cob bedding which is a cheap, foraging friendly bedding
We are always encouraging our customers to go above and beyond for their birds. If you are curious as to what else you can give to your bird in terms of toys, fun play things, supplements, etc, we have you covered!
🐁 We still have 5 little ladies that are available! We now have them on sale! Buy one and get the other for 50% off! 🐁
We would love to see all these girls go to loving homes as soon as possible. Who doesn't want to curl up and snuggle this little lady taking a nap 😂?!
Just a little Noah lovins on a cloudy Friday 🥰
That great big beak can look intimidating, but the green-winged macaw is actually the gentler of the large macaws, not known for biting. In fact, green-winged macaws are the second largest parrots next to the hyacinth macaw. They are often mistaken for scarlet macaws due to their general red appearance, but are significantly larger and deeper in colour. Macaws are able to reach flight speeds of up to 35mph! Isn't that so cool?! Happy feathered Friday everyone! Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy wet Wednesday! Let's get a better understanding of our new clown knife fish!
This species is native to the rivers of Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Due to distribution by aquarium hobbyists, they have now become one of the world’s most invasive freshwater species currently thriving in South Florida. Also known as featherback or spotted knifefish, the clown knife can grow over 3 feet long in the wild (holy 💩) and is a highly sought-after game fish in the freshwater habitats of Palm Beach. In fact, the world record for largest caught weighed in at 14 pounds and was caught in Delray Beach in 2015!
As mentioned, in the wild, clown knife fish can reach lengths over 3 feet, but they rarely grow over 20 inches in length in an aquarium. They can also live up to 10 years! In captivity, these guys typically eat any fish they can fit in their mouths, frozen foods such as blood worms and shrimp, some pellets, and bait worms as well! These guys prefer to hunt at night when the lights are out (or dim). While keeping Knife fish at home, we highly recommend accommodating their light preferences as it helps keep them IN the tank as they can be major jumpers!
Now that you know a little more about them, I highly recommend coming to see their impeccable swimming abilities in person; forward, backward, upside down, and diagonally!
Splish splash it's a Noah bath 🛁
Happy long weekend friends! Don't forget that we are CLOSED ON SEPTEMBER 2ND and back to our normal hours of operation on Wednesday the 3rd 🥰
