Gillian the above is a link to a website which lists 50 pets shops in Amman.
I can't say which are still open etc but looks like a lot of them aren't in the malls
Looks like some have people who clip bird claws etc so maybe if Oli's beak needs doing they may be able to help.

There is cuttlefish on the way Gillian but birds are very popular in Jordan and there are several pet shops that specialise in them and accessories so I am sure you would get cuttlefish bone in one of them when you have run out - which won't be for ages and ages as it lasts for ever.

Good evening Lyn.

Thanks. You told me about the cuttle fish you sent. Thank you!

I think I have already told you that I got names and phone numbers of very very many 'pet shops' here. Believe me ONE and ONLY ONE answered the phone and told me of a tort enclosure that costs Jordanian Dinars 180 which is about Euro 180. That, I cannot afford. As for cuttle bone the same person told me to feed my tort lettuce, tomatoes and so on. They do not deal with it because torts live in the wild and are not considered pets here. Therefore, such products would expire and get thrown away. This, in turn,they can't afford, which is understandable.

All the rest of the 'pet shops' gave this recording: 'The number you have called is NOT IN SERVICE.' How do you like that?

Oh thanks Lyn. I'll see to it immediately, and inform you.

Hi Lyn, I just checked that website, which contains the same names and phone numbers of the so-called pet stores I have already tried to contact.

Well I can't really comment on which phone numbers are still available obviously, but do you have a telephone directory service? They may just have changed numbers. I will try a few if you like.

Wow have you tried all 50?

 

[Gillian M]

Wow have you tried all 50?

Good morning Lyn.

No, not all 50. But I've tried at least 28 or so, after which I lost patience.

Oh of course there is a telephone directory service. I will see to that as well.

I'd appreciate your help in calling them, thanks Lyn.

Hi Ed hope you are well.

Not as anxious as I am believe me! I'm afraid I still didn't receive anything. And tomorrow is Fridays; all depts. to include the post are off. I'll check Saturday and inform you immediately.

Thanks very much your help, and hope to pay you back in the very near future.

I was given phone number of a vet clinic for torts, that they deal with.

Yep, i know.
And then they'll quote you a fortune and charge you more.
