This is the best bird store around. HUGE selection of toys, playstands, cages, food, and more. I prefer to get birds from a small breeder and not a pet store, but the birds at this store are well cared for. They had many finches and other small untame birds housed in large flight cages, and the parrots and other tame birds come out onto playgyms. They had appropriate toys, perches, and diets.
They really try to educate prospective owners and not just sell them birds. They sometimes have parrot trainers and behaviorists come and do lectures and this is free to everyone, not just customers. You would pay $50 or more to hear some of these speakers at a seminar!
The store seems to have become a bit of a target for some animal rights extremists who don't believe in keeping pets (keeping birds as pets isn't cruel if you take decent care of them and treat them as one of the family. It's not perfect but nothing is - like in the wild where with starvation and predators, annual mortality is 30-50% on average. And most parrots kept as pets are of domsticated species like budgies, lovebirds, cockatiels, not 'wild' birds). I guess they targeted this store just because it is large? There certainly are plenty of stores that don't take great care of their birds, but this is one of the best ones and their selection of bird supplies at good prices makes it very worth shopping at even though I'm not looking to get another bird.
