Pets from the Past

We were walking through Wanchai the other day and stumbled upon this shop.  

This was how pet shops used to be like when I was growing up. I had kind of forgotten that this is what pet shops were like until I saw this. So old-school and authentic.

It reminded me of a similar pet shop that was just a 2 minute walk from where we lived when I was little. My grandfather liked birds and we used to have a parrot, and an assortment of other birds at home. Those were the pets I grew up with.

Both my son and baby girl were very much taken by the colorful parrots perched outside.

Presumably these are the small birds:

And these the small animals:
