First of all they advertise and have birds in the store that they refuse to sell secondly their prices are so so very high they want $349 for a bird that's listed no higher than 250 and then they don't want to sell it to you if you did want to buy it poorly run business

While me my mom and friend was looking around the store the two employees was talking bad about a colored woman who just got done checking out and leaving the place. Every time I walk into the store I always get bad vibes. The birds are very beautiful though. I don't know if I want to keep coming here.

I bring my green cheek conure here for boarding when I'm out of town for work. I have peace of mind knowing she is very well taken care of here and she's always in a good mood when I pick her up. The staff is very kind and I have developed a great relationship with them over the years.
