Way over priced birds. 200 difference from them and petsmart. And the petsmart ones looked healthier and less stressed, alot of them in one small cage, wrong diet for macaws, flies everywhere in the store. Birds looked stressed and sickly. Someone needs to help them run their store, or they just need to close

Great People . The interaction was good. I liked to meet some experienced people who have seen decades in this hobby . Even though the shop stock was a little low on inventory , they had quite a good number of inhouse breeding African Greys and Macaws. Prices were decent too. I will surely suggest a shop revamp. Even have the Avian Doctor access for customers to call up and book appointments for future dates . This doctor unlike the regular Pet Clinics is very affordable and accommodative of hobbyist passion in his service. I guess his name is Dr. Mc Donald . You may call the store to book appointments.

If i could give no stars and still leave a review I would. The cinnamon cheek conure I bought I rescued from the terrible set up in that store. The diet they had her on was all seed and turned there nose up when I told them i would be putting her on a pellet diet. I was told that was wrong even though I researched well before I bought her and sure it was cause all they were interested in was selling their seed. They cram all their birds in one cage that isnt even big enough for one parrot. The store is pretty dirty. The people who own it are very rude and im amazed they do any business. The clipping that was done on this girl before I bought her was terrible and too short I was told by someone who knows that type of business. Its my intention to have no further clippings as that is a main source of a birds exercise is to be able to fly and she will be harness trained so that ability will be available to her. Everything is way over priced and I was definitely ripped off on the cage. I wouldn't trade my sweet girl for anything and glad I was able to give her a much better home then she had there but if i should ever decide on getting another addition to our family it wont be with this store.

The store is filthy. The cages are filthy. The place is infested with bugs. I feel bad for the birds. Also, the older gentleman (owner I believe) is very short tempered and rude.

A diet of a bird should be fresh chop. (Veggies mixed with a lil fruit) and high protein pellets for dinner and as treats using seeds. Guy at store says we were "doing it all wrong" please research proper diet of bird yall.

I bought a green cheek from here in July, I had her for 5 days and woke up one morning to find her dead. I called the store because they had told me that they have a 5 day warranty. The woman said that she'd have to ask her husband and then called me back to say that the warranty is now two days and that the SMELL of my ferrets killed her. I should have just stopped the sale in the store when they said that I'm just buying an expensive chew toy and the guy that they were friends with said he was happy when his daughter's ferrets died when I mentioned that I own ferrets as well. My conure never had contact with my ferrets by the way. I later found out that this store does zero disease testing for any of their birds. I bought another green cheek a few weeks later at a shop near Chicago and he is perfectly fine but everyday that I wake up I'm terrified that I'm going to find him dead like she was. So they sold me a sick bird for 500 hundred, and have traumatized me. Please don't buy from here. I know it seems close, but just bite the bullet and drive the two hours to a reputable store. The conure on the right is the one that died and the conure on the left is my little Milo who is doing fine.

Well got a baby green cheeked conure yesterday. Not from this place but wanted to get our new feathered addition a nice new cage so thought I'd stop in. Very odd vibe immediately. As we walked up to the entrance I noticed through the window it was pretty crowded, (it's a pretty small shop) probably 2 families plus the man at the counter, and no one wearing masks, (myself, my daughter, and husband all were).We noticed the sign on the outside said one customer allowed in at a time, to please wait for the customer to exit before entering. So we waited. Unmasked female opens the door and abruptly says, " He wants to know if you've been here before." I was caught off guard by the question, I hadn't ever been there before and wondered why that would possibly matter if they wanted business ???? but simply replied, that, " No we have not." She shuts the door and after a short conversation we are 'allowed' in with everyone else. The man at the counter gave off an extremely unwelcoming vibe, no hello or can I help with anything today but instead I received a, "What do ya want?" I told him I'm looking for a bird cage and pointed to the sort I was looking for and he gave me the highest price that I heard of thus far for the exact cage. $299 tax not included. When I visibly showed my surprise at the price he said, "That's just the way it is." Having done my research, and having owned many birds over the years, I know that's more than double the price for that particular cage and now I'll be doing what I should have done in the first place, ordering one online. ????‍♀️ Would have loved to recommend this place but I go by my experience so I personally do not.

I was in this shop a little over a month ago. It's small, but extremely clean. I mention this, because I saw a few reviews claiming that the cages were dirty. They are not. The birds seemed friendly and there's lots of cute toys in the shop. My goddaughter bought some bird toys for her green cheek and her cockatiel and some of the little toy shoes. On a personal note, there are some needlessly harsh comments being thrown around here and I have to say: shame on you people. I highly recommend it

Purchase a Green Cheek Conure from them and he is very healthy. They are on the higher price for birds but worth the money. I would recommend them as they are an older couple that has been in business and is not new to bird care or breeding.

Bought a bird. It is healthy but no way it was hand fed. The cages hadn't been cleaned in some time. Considered buying off the internet. Probably will for the next one. They will advise not to. But kinda wonder where they get the ones in their shop. Sketchy.

I got my cockatiel here and he has been the best bird I have ever owned. The owners are very knowledgeable and make sure you know everything before you go home with a bird. They also do grooming services and bird sitting if needed.
