daveyj Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 CAN You buy the Atom in the UK carnt seem to find one ?
Tigerlily Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 i've been looking too dave, can only find one site from america called mother plucking' bird toys and they costs over $100 so some savings required. once again, northern parrots have let us down here in the uk by not selling EVERYTHING lol
JillyBeanz Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Like you two - I've looked too - I can't find one and only found the same site as Tigerlily - and the shipping is ridiculous if you contact them to ship it over here. I've just decided that if Harvey doesn't see one he doesn't know what he's missing - so I'm keeping him away from here for the time being!!!!
Tycos_mom Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I can't help you Mother pluckers is the only site that makes them I bought mine in Canada because it was cheaper to buy in online here than to pay American prices.but that won't help you I still spent 170. dollars better than 200.for me Why don't you try making one out of coduit hoseing and pvc fittings and sisle rope or hulla hoops and sisle rope cover the hulla hoops with rope or vet wrap and secure all joins with rope or pvc fittings its not hard you can pick up hulla hoops for a 1.00 at the dollar store you will need 4 of them.<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/07/09 22:57
Tigerlily Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 copy of an email i sent to northern parrots: hi. i am a great fan of your products, infact buy ALL my parrot gear from yourselves. i also use a grey forum online which has also been a valuable sorce of information for me. a thread that was started is the reason i'm writing to you. it was asked if there were any suppliers of the parrot "atom" in the uk. i too have been looking and unfortunatly i can't seem to find one here in the uk, the only suppliers being "mother plucking' bird toys" from the u.s and cost a fortune! i recently purchased the orbiter from yourselves knowing it was too small for what i wanted but a step in the right direction and was wondering if the "atom" would be something you would be able to supply as i'm sure there are others out there looking too. many thanks elaine webb p.s congragulations on your expantion and move, just a shame you didn't move to bristol lol. ;) ;) i'll let you know their answer;)
Tigerlily Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 northern parrots reply: Thank you for your email. I have forwarded your email to our Managing Director as I do not know what items we are planning to supply in the future. :lol: maybe there's hope for us brits yet:P
JillyBeanz Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 What a good idea Tigerlily - I'll mail them too - if they see there is enough demand in the UK then they obvious will import - it'll be worth their while if a few of us say that we are interested. Perhaps our birdies will too have these amazing atoms (although I'm not entirely sure where I'd hang one!!) Jill xx
Tigerlily Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 yeah, we'll ambush them, anyone else wanna email them lol. even if they only did a bigger version of their orbiter i'd be happy;)
rbpittman Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I purchased an orbiter for Sterling (U2) yesterday and while he hasn't shown much interets in it, Dixie sure has. Seems that it's just the right size for (almost twice her size actually) and she's climbed all over it several times, hanging upside down trying to reach across from one side to the other (literally impossible) and taking full delight in it. I'm waiting on the atom's I ordered to arrive. I will be putting them in the living room for Sterling and Dixie to have as additional perches when we're not in my office. -- Robin, Paul, Dixie, Sterling, George & Gracie

Thats the way to get things accomplished, if enough people ask then they will be more apt to get it for their customers. Heck I don't live in the UK but I will email them too and see if it helps.
Tigerlily Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 kool judy. lets start a petition then send to northern parrots. WE WANT THE ATOM WE WANT THE ATOM WE WANT THE ATOM :laugh: :woohoo: B)
JillyBeanz Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Ha! Can you imagine! Northern Parrots receiving all these mails from round the world. They'd think they were really popular then! International Business they'd have printed on their website!!!
she Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I have just sent them an e mail.They will wonder whats going on.<br><br>Post edited by: she, at: 2009/07/10 21:06
