What a gem! They have a great selection of cages, perches, and toys. They had adorable Green Cheek Conures, Indian Ring-necks, Lovebirds, and some adorable baby Quakers. Everyone working there was very sweet and helpful.

I love this store! I am grateful it opened again. The staff is extremely approachable and knowledgeable. I am exited to bring home my handfed baby green cheek conure shortly. Charlene has been instrumental in raising him and helping me with all I need to succeed.
