Atlantis Pets

Atlantis Pets has never been just a place to buy pet supplies.

It’s where friendships are formed over a shared love of animals. It’s where people stop in for a chat, a laugh, some advice, or simply to spend time with others who understand the joy that animals bring into our lives.

Over the years, we’ve watched complete strangers become friends, customers become family, and countless animals receive the care, education, and support they deserve.

Whether you’re seeking guidance, sharing stories, learning something new, or just enjoying the company of fellow animal lovers, Atlantis Pets is a place where people connect.

We are proud to be a hub for our community, a centre for education, a voice for animal welfare, and a place where both people and pets are welcomed with open arms.

Because at Atlantis Pets, it’s not just about animals. It’s about the people they bring together. ❤️🐾🦜

As many of you know, alongside Atlantis Pets, we also started and help run SOS Illawarra Bird Sanctuary & Rescue, a licensed, volunteer-run rescue and sanctuary that has grown far bigger and faster than we ever imagined.

What started as a passion project to help birds in need has now become a huge part of our everyday lives. The number of birds coming into care, the medical needs, feeding, housing, cleaning, rehabilitation, and ongoing costs have reached a point where balancing both the sanctuary and maintaining a large personal breeding collection is no longer realistic.

After a lot of thought, I’ve made the difficult decision to dramatically scale back my personal breeding programs so I can focus more of my time, energy, and resources into the rescue and sanctuary side of things.

This decision has not been made lightly. Breeding birds has always been a massive passion of mine, and anyone who knows me knows how much love and dedication has gone into my birds over the years. But sometimes life takes you in a direction you never expected, and right now I truly feel my heart is pulling me more toward rescue, rehabilitation, and helping the overwhelming number of birds needing care.

Because of this, some of my personal breeding birds may be attending the upcoming Illawarra Bird Expo to help transition into suitable new environments with experienced bird people who share the same passion and care.

Thank you to everyone who has supported both Atlantis Pets and SOS Illawarra Bird Sanctuary & Rescue. Without this amazing community, none of this would be possible. ❤️

⚠️ LOST DOG AT ATLANTIS PETS ⚠️

We currently have a Husky hanging around Atlantis Pets and unfortunately it’s causing quite a bit of stress to the birds. We’ve attempted to safely catch the dog multiple times, however this clever pup keeps backing away the moment we get close enough to grab the collar.

The funniest part is this dog clearly thinks we’re playing a game. Every time someone gets close, off it goes again having the absolute time of its life while we all stand there laughing. Honestly, it’s had us in stitches. 😂

The dog is wearing a collar, but we haven’t been able to secure it to check for tags or owner details.

If you know who this adventurous escape artist belongs to, please contact the owner or let them know it has chosen Atlantis Pets as its destination of choice. Clearly this dog knows where the fun is. 🐾

Many of you already know Janice, and if you’ve visited Atlantis Pets recently, chances are you’ve already seen just how much love, care, effort, and passion she puts into this place every single day.

So today, we’re proud to officially introduce Janice as the very first manager of Atlantis Pets 🦜✨

This isn’t about someone “new” stepping in, Janice has already been a huge part of the Atlantis family for a long time now. But as Atlantis Pets continues to grow, evolve, and reach new heights, it became clear that this next step was well deserved.

From the care of the animals, to supporting customers, helping the team, keeping the store running smoothly, and always giving 110%, Janice has truly become a massive part of what Atlantis Pets is today.

One thing I value deeply is having people around me who genuinely care, not just about the business, but about the animals, the customers, the team, and the community we’ve built together. Janice does exactly that.

I’m honestly excited for the future and proud to have her helping lead Atlantis Pets into its next chapter ❤️

Feel free to show Janice some love below 👇

(Yeah I don’t know about this 😅) thoughts?

A disabled lovebird named Nitya gained attention online after her owner created a small drone attachment designed to let her experience being in the air again.

According to posts shared online, the bird lost the ability to fly after suffering injuries from a cat attack.

Wanting to help the bird experience movement through the sky once more, the owner built a lightweight transparent cabin connected to a drone for short supervised flights.

The unusual invention quickly spread online, with many people describing it as a creative and emotional gesture toward an injured pet.

🎥 LIVE videos are making a comeback at Atlantis Pets ❤️

We’re bringing back the lives, and this time we’re diving deeper into all the topics we love talking about.

Raw. Honest. Real conversations.

No scripts, no pretending to have all the answers, and definitely no “this is the only right way” mentality. Just me sharing my personal experiences, what’s worked for us, what hasn’t, things we’ve learnt along the way, and opening the floor for you guys to share your experiences too.

If you know me, you’ll know live videos make me a little uncomfortable 😅 but I think it’s time to step outside my comfort zone, connect more with everyone, and actually have proper conversations.

These won’t be lectures, they’ll be discussions.

Birds, pets, products, business, rescue, myths, trends, husbandry… whatever comes up, let’s talk about it.

At the end of the day, there’s not always a single right or wrong answer. We all have different experiences, different setups, and different things that work for us and that’s okay.

So let’s cut through the noise, keep it respectful, keep it real, and learn from each other ❤️

Drop below some topics you’d love us to cover
