Visited on 06/23/22 for the very first time with my significant other. We are huge birdie fans and lovers - so why not stop by Birds and More. You would have to ring/buzz the doorbell outside in order for them to let you in. Upon entering, this place is extremely noisy. So many bird species! Birdies selling from $149 to $5000 - this place has it all! There was a friendly gentleman who was asking us questions and helping.

We weren't planning to purchase a birdie but just wanted to check them out. Birds and More also rescue birdies and these rescues are NOT for sale - they are located on the far left once you come into the store. I'm glad this place truly cares about birdies and brings light to the city of LAWNDALE! Overall 5/5 - if we want to get a birdie in the future then this will be our go-to place. :

We have been avid fans, of Birds And More, for 30 years. The ownership, and entire, staff are knowledgeable and responsive. We have obtained birds there, supplies, and they groom all our birds monthly. We moved a few years back, but drove the extra distance, to have all our needs addressed.

What a great Bird store. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I got some good advise from Justin about my little parrotlett's squaking attitude. I'm going to take his advise with my fingers crossed that the things I try help. He just had the best grooming ever in his 11 years. I've had him since he was 5 months old. Wings, beak and nails were done and he even gave him a bath and dried him with a dryer. Wow, what a spa day for him. Thank you Justin and a shout out to Jr. who told me about the store when I called.

This is an awesome place to take your birds for grooming, and care. I learned so much from Justin during our visit that I feel much better in caring for my bird. Thank you Birds and More for all the valuable information, for taking such great care of my bird, and for all that you do every day. We will definitely be back!
