SALSA
Black-Headed Caique

SALSA

Meet Salsa, our Black-headed caique with main-character energy and zero concept of personal space. Clever, cheeky, and a total snuggle bug, she's mastered a whole trick repertoire - plus a whistling habit she's very proud of. Skip her kiss quota and she'll let you know, loudly, that you've made a mistake.

JEAN
Black-Capped Lory

JEAN

Meet Jean, our female Black-capped Lory and resident agent of chaos - the good kind. Playful, cheeky, and an absolute chatterbug, she talks a mile a minute and never met a moment she couldn't make weirder. Certified insane. Certifiably lovable.

CHI CHI
Budgerigar

CHI CHI

Meet Chi Chi, our male budgie with quiet confidence to spare. Chill, independent, and secretly a softie, he's devoted to one thing in life - his ball, officially his girlfriend. A committed relationship, thank you very much.

BUMBLE

Meet Bumble, our male Jungle Carpet Python with a little spice and a lot of curiosity. He's always sensing the world around him, tongue flicking away as he investigates every new sight, sound and visitor. He's got opinions.

Meet Wanda, our female Central Bearded Dragon and self-appointed excavation expert - dig dig dig! She's utterly chill, loves a good pancake sunbake, and is convinced the dragon in the mirror is her new best friend.

Ghost Knife - Kellyville Pets
Ghost knifefish

TOOTHLESS

Meet Toothless, our male Ghost Knifefish, rehomed through us after he and his female tank mate stopped seeing eye to eye. Shy by nature, but feed him bloodworms and he'll zoom victory laps around the tank. With his sleek, prehistoric silhouette, he looks like he swam straight out of another era.

KEVIN
leopard cactus pleco

KEVIN

Meet Kevin, our male Leopard Cactus Pleco with a real flair for showing off. He spends his days foraging around the tank he shares with our native rainbowfish, happily flaunting his stunning patterns and colours to any admirer.

red-tailed black cockatoo

Konka

Konka was our beloved male Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, hatched in 1992. Over many years he became a firm favourite, with visitors dropping by just to chat and dance with him. He was also deeply beloved by the Kellyville Pets team. He's since moved to Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, where he now lives among fellow red-tails.

murray short-necked turtle

Luna

Luna was our stunning Albino Murray Short-necked Turtle, hatched in 2015. For ten years she captivated staff and visitors alike, gliding gracefully around her tank. She's since moved on to Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, where she now enjoys a spacious pond and all the sunshine a turtle could wish for.

How they ended up staying

We fell in love, and then we couldn't let them go.

Every one of our store pets came through the door the same way any other animal does. Somewhere between settling in and finding a home, they became part of the team - the bird that greets the morning shift, the python everyone stops to look at... So they stayed.

Why they live here

The best way to choose a pet is to meet one.

Photos and care sheets only take you so far. Seeing a bearded dragon's real adult size, hearing how loud a caique actually is, or watching how much water a ghost knife fish needs tells you more in five minutes than an afternoon of reading.

Our residents also keep our team sharp. Caring for them daily is why the advice you get at the counter comes from hands-on experience, not a product label.

Pets available

Thinking of taking one home?

All pets available
Ask our team

Learn how to care for pets, before you own one.

Our team keeps these animals alive and thriving every single day. Ask them anything β€” there's no pressure to buy.

  • Diet and feeding

    What they actually eat, how often, and what it costs to feed them properly for a year.

  • Housing and setup

    Enclosure size, heating, lighting and filtration β€” the gear that needs to be right before the animal comes home.

  • Natural behaviour and training

    What's normal for the species, what isn't, and how much handling and enrichment they need.

  • Lifespan and long-term cost

    How long they live and what they'll need from you in year ten β€” the part most people don't ask about.

Good to know

Visiting our store pets.

  • Are the store pets for sale?

    No. Our residents are permanent members of the team. Plenty of other animals are available though - you'll find them in our Pets Available range or in store.

  • Can I handle them?

    Some of them, with a staff member present. Ask in the department and we'll let you know who's happy to be held on the day - it depends on the animal and how busy we are.

  • Can I bring my kids?

    Absolutely - most of our visitors are families. We just ask that little ones don't tap on the glass or reach into enclosures without a team member.

  • Can I bring my dog?

    Yes, on a lead and under control at all times. Some of our residents find dogs stressful, so please keep your dog clear of enclosures.

  • Can I visit just to look?

    Please do. There's no cost and no expectation to buy anything - a lot of locals drop in purely to see the animals.
