Had a Bird Pepper plant when I lived in New York City in the early sixties, don't remember where, how I got the plants. Have lived in Toronto, Canada for past 44 years and have searched without success. Live in Scarborough, always check the Caribbean food stores like Charlie's on Morningside but they don't seem to ever carry Bird Peppers which I would like to grow indoors with access to light.
