Owner followed us around and checked on everything we touched. Then we decided to pick up 3 succulents and Immediately grabbed a box to put them in and when I went to grab the box from her she snatched it out of my hands as if we were going to steal something.

I was followed by two of the owners like I was a thief. She didn’t even try to be subtle about it. I was just looking for a specific succulent. They totally made me feel unsafe and nervous. I left immediately. No customer service. You’re treated like a thief the second you walk in. Stay away from this place.

Grouchy owner/operators.. There are 2 older ladies in charge We’ve seen over the years. Both have an extremely unpleasant attitude.Never like to joke or have small talk, will follow you all over the place. It’s been the same every time we stopped by. We finally give up. Never again.

See the thing is , its a good store. Lots of cute birds and great garden stuff. Im a bird lover and seen the big bird sign and got excited that there was a bird place in delaware. We were on a beach trip and wanted to go in and see the cute birdies but as soon as we stepped foot in the place my whole family got the same vibe that we were unwelcome and being watched. I am unsure id the woman was a manager but she stood in her corner the whole time staring at us with a mean glare. We walked around pointing out the budgies and tiels and still she just watched us. My mother even seen that they had a boarding section for birds and we have two birds of our own that we left with a relative at home so we asked her about it for maybe next year and she gave us quick short answers like she had better things to do. Being that it was the only bird store in delaware we know of we were considering getting our next bird here but with the customer service we might just go to a nice breeder instead. A quick tip to the manager- I dont know if you know this but usually if you want business you are nice to your customers. You dont act like you want to throw them out. With all of the other similar reviews I can see it was not just us so this lady really needs to get her act straight. Something else that happened also made me a little suspicious but a nice couple with an amazon came in to get their bird's nails cut. And she made it a point to do it right at the counter where she could still see us and the couple was even confused because apparently she never did it there and took the bird to a different room so that was also a give away that she was watching us and didnt trust us for some reason. I also read other reviews how people believe she doesnt like children. And i am short enough to probably be seen as a child even though i am older so it makes me wonder if that was the reason she stared us down. But all in all its a nice shop with good potential. Just needs better employees that care about their customers.

This is the first truly the BEST pet bird store I've ever been to! They truly care about our feathered friends!

Beautiful, healthy plants, bushes and trees. Extremely knowledgeable staff who are really friendly. The bird shop inside is really clean. It's very apparent the hand-raised birds are well cared for and loved. Definitely worth a visit!

Two weeks ago we purchased fish here. We’ve had our pond for at least 15years and actually had it rebuilt in Jan 2020. We added the nine fish and sadly our entire pond got sick. At this point we have loss one 7 year old Koi and a goldfish. We have spent days trying to save our school of fish. We have never had a problem before, the pond is professionally treated yearly. I called the store to ask if there had been any reported issues with their supply. I got a VERY gruff response from the person who answered ie I’ve been here 50 years and never sold a bad fish. Well I believe that would be pretty much an impossible feat!! There was absolutely no accountability just defensiveness and projection. Sadly I guess that is the new normal that none of use should accept! Unfortunately I didn’t read all of the negative comments beforehand, we were just trying to support local businesses. I continue to hope and pray that our fish survive and never again would I buy anything from this store.

We visited because our older son wanted to possibly buy a 'teel and to see the other birds. The staff followed throughout the garden and store as if we were going to steal something, especially an older gentleman in the fish area. When I asked my son if he had seen his mother the older guy just pointed abruptly without a word. The lady in the bird store was equally imposed upon and abrupt. If they don't want customers why have a store?

What an interesting place to visit. So many cool things to look at and the bird are so cute. Although I felt like i was being staked. Wherever I walked there were employees watching, It was super creepy. Uncomfortable. Friends purchased a plant but did have a problem with a rude employee.

Nice center, staff were rude. Ive worked in a similar establishment in another town, and I would have never treated the customers that way. Wont return here.

Everything is over priced and looks cheap. The staff watched us like we were to poor to be in there and never said a word just stalked around behind us and the others never even looked up.

Overpriced as well as give the impression they hate children I remember going in there as a child and being yelled at to not touch anything and things have not changed in the 15+ years since. I will never go back.

I LOVED the parrot side of this store. The birds were all sooo happy & chatty. It was a treat just to see & hear all of them. And the employees couldn’t have been nicer! Im a new parrot owner & they were so knowledgeable & helpful. I bought several unusual toys. They had a much better selection than my local pet store & their prices were great. The woman helping me recommended a specific treat for my overly picky Amazon, and he loves it! (Smells like molasses, lol). Regarding any previous negative comments about this business, I’m shocked quite frankly, bcuz my experience was absolutely fabulous. The only thing I can think of is perhaps the customers making those complaints weren’t ‘bird’ people & thought it was a regular pet store where they should be permitted to physically interact with all the birds out of their cages- pet them like a puppy or cuddle them like a kitten. In addition to selling merchandise, the staff are also there to educate people about birds & protect all the feathered friends in the shop. If you’re a parrot lover, GO! I’m so glad I wandered in. You won’t be disappointed. ????????

Beautiful garden center with all types of plants for indoors and outdoors. They have awesome succulent gardens and decorations. Staff is always very friendly. Must-visit every time we come down to the beaches.

This was a nice store inside and out. I have been thinking about purchasing a beautiful Exotic bird for many years. So I decided to drop by this shop while in the area. And wow! I just simply loved every bird that I saw, now I have some serious questions to ask about the Exotic Bird I was most interested in. So I approached the sales lady and she answered my questions about the birds, but I felt that she was not really to interested to provide me with answers, I kinda felt like that annoying customer who bombards a sales person with a million questions. I asked 3 questions, too many you think? Anyway I purchased some food for my parakeet then thought to myself such lovely lovely birds, but I will look into another Exotic Bird store who would want a serious customer business.

A wonderful bird shop that is extremely passionate about birds. I’m not sure why the lower rating reviews were made on here. This is probably the only place I’ve ever encountered that goes the extra step for their birds.

Bought a bunch of plants that were offered to me by Farmer Girl directly to my business. I brought them to my house. 11 plants at $40 each. $440. They all died within 2-3 months. I watered them as I was supposed to and put them in the proper lighting.

The staff is extremely rude- unbelievably so. The birds are beautiful, but everything is overpriced. Will not go there again after my last visit- the rudeness and treatment of customers was shocking.
