Our Animal Area

Here at the Japanese Koi Company, we try to be more than just a pet shop. With many years of experience, we really know our animals.


We have built a new and exciting area occupied with a few select animals from around the world. This blog will show the birth of the project and introduce you to a few of the animals we love. Through pictures , text, videos and who knows maybe even a webcam this blog will involve you in their day to day lives.

Not for the faint hearted ...

Over the next few days i will be posting some pictures of the different animals at feeding time . If you dont like mice hanging out of mouths i would turn your head now...

I will start with the kookaburra as i have spent some time with these guys over the past two weeks. They will start off up high on their branches and swoop down on to their prey. They are feeding well on locust, chicks and mice.

Yesterday when i approached the enclosure the female was very happy to see me. I walked in sat down and offered a mice on my my hand she accepted obligingly..


Happy girl.
These large kingfishers have a wide gape and swallow prey whole.

A very happy looking kookaburra.
