We bought a 3-month old peach-face lovebird and an 8-month old parrot from Quetzal bird shop. It was a wonderful experience. The owner was kind, patient, knowledgable and taught us how to continue to handle and care for the birds so they would be tame and healthy. He hand-fed raised them and they are clearly happy and very well-cared for along with all the other birds in his shop. You can tell the owner loves what he does and has a passion for it. He taught us how to tell male from female lovebirds. Since we bought multiple birds he gave us extra discounts on the cages and even threw in an extra bag of bird seed for us. I will absolutely return to this place for any additional birds we may want in the future. Highly recommend!!

A small local bird shop - not the boutique-style exotic bird shop that you find in many places nowadays. However that’s not without it’s benefits! The owner was super friendly and knowledgeable. We got highly personalized service and learned a lot about birds. When I’m ready for a bird that might be the place that I get it from. Great prices too!

We had a great experience with the owners (Gilmar & Patricia) at this place! We bought a Double Yellow Headed Amazon Parrot, and we do not regret it! We came in looking for a baby parrot, and he introduced us to this parrot which we fell in love immediately. Gilmar suggested to not take him home until he felt that the bird will be ready in a healthy and survival rate. He took great care of our parrot and able to take him home a couple weeks later. Gilmar gave us instructions how to take care of the parrot, and any questions to reach out. With due sincerity, if you are looking for a bird pet, this is the place to get it! Owners are very friendly, honest and knowledgeable. Thank you Gilmar for the awesome experience! We are truly happy with our parrot!

I was in search of conure. Found this place because the initial store I was going to was closed. Once I arrived they were only allowing 1 party at a time inside. It’s a small but very organized place with different birds . They had different baby birds in stock . Gilmar was super helpful and knew exactly how to match me with the perfect companion. So far I have 1 day with her and she is active , eating , sleeping - she is only 4 months old and I went with the pineapple conure. He even set up the cage for me and explained that I can come back for grooming and nail trims. He made me feel comfortable and was super helpful. I highly recommend if you are looking for baby birds he is your guy ! Thank you GILMAR and family for being super kind ! ????

What a wonderful bird shop. They have so many different varieties. The owners are such kind and knowledgeable people. They won’t want to just make a quick buck off of you. They are honest with what they say and they take good care of their birds. I’ve been to many bird shops but I recommend this one to everyone. Please considering trying this bird shop, you will not be disappointed.

My experience with this shop was the best ever! The owner Gilmar is very experienced with parrots and birds! He really takes the time to explain care for your feathered friends. His prices are reasonable. I searched all of Los Angeles for an Indian Ringneck with no luck until I came across this shop! He has a variety of them to choose from but they go fast! He also has many other species of parrots.

Great experience here. I came about a week ago to purchase some canaries and the owner was beyond helpful. I came back the following to purchase some more and the experience was even better the second time. I have already referred a lot of my coworkers and friends to his shop and I HIGHLY recommend you stop by. Fair prices and great quality birds.

Little dinky tiny dirty bird shop I ever bumped into. Stayed in there for less than one minute and came out. They did not have much selections for exotic birds at all, other than quails, chickens and doves. The did have canaries and budgies. Not much selections for bird feeds either. And it's in middle of no where. Would not recommend

Bought my pineapple green cheek conure here, a bit pricey and the pet shop is very small. They have tamed and handfed birds.

Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! My poor mom is heartbroken. I got her a baby cockatiel for her birthday and the day after we got this bird we took her to the vet and the bird got admitted into the hospital over night and had IV fluids and oxygen. The vet stated she was lethargic and not doing well and must of been sick from this bird shop since we only had her for not even a day. This sweet little bird went into cardiac arrest and they performed CPR on her and sadly passed away. After spending $300 in his store and $640 at the vet and to be left devastated. DO NOT COME HERE!

There were customers in the shop so they asked us to wait outside - which was reasonable. We waited for 20 minutes and no one came out to ask what we were looking for or give us an update on wait time. There were at least 3 shopkeepers inside so it wasn't like there was no one who could come out to us. They may not have had what we're looking for. Or maybe they did. In either case, not going back.

I absolutely loooove this bird store. A warm and inviting family owned business. Gil is a very knowledgeable keeper and breeder. All of the birds were very healthy and clean. I will definitely be returning to purchase from this store. I spent some time getting to know the owner and learning the history of this shop. I cant wait to go back. I got to handle some cockatiels, amazons and love birds and they were all very tame and appeared healthy. There's even a chatty macaw named mango there presently perched out freely just relaxing. I have only positive things to say about this shop. Great place for to get a quality reasonably priced bird.

Wow! This shop was quite impressive and captivating. All of their pets were well-organized and lovely. Also, all of the staff were very kind, professional, and informative. They even help me find the best pet for me that was kind, lovely, and cute. Thank you for the Chinese Crested dog that I've picked to buy. It was worth it and satisfying. Till next time!
