"Bought my conure (700 dollars) here a few days ago. Noticed tail bobbing the very same day so I called. The girl said she’d talk to someone and call me back. Never did. It was just me and bird all night. My kids came home the next day to meet the bird and noticed she was still bobbing and also frantically pacing the bottom of her cage. This bird is constantly scratching itself and is barely eating food. Called again and she told me that there’s a female there that takes birds home once in a while to try to hand tame them and she’ll talk to her. Again, didn’t hear back. I do have birds and I have taken them to a vet before and I have always been told tail bobbing is a sign of a respiratory illness or a possible infection but the owner admittedly didn’t know what bobbing was but said if it was sick it sure wasn’t bc of their store. Even tho I had it less than 24 hours when I noticed. So accused me of making it sick. When I asked how old the bird was in the store, they told me they got it in in January so I thought it couldn’t have been more than 9 months old. When I called the first time was told it was over a year?!!!! During the conversation with the owner she told me it had been there a VERY long time. This bird isn’t eating or doing anything but sitting in a little fluff ball on its perch which isn’t what I’ve ever experienced with a new bird. They have at least explore their cage or pick another spot to sit at or even shake it’s feathers out but not her. Ma’am you have way too many birds in such a small space you have no idea what you’re exposing them to that stress alone can make a bird sick. The owner kept over talking me and she clearly seemed agitated and short tempered. She thinks just because she has the animal in the store, she can tell you everything there is to know about it and u have no idea what you’re talking about. I am taking my bird to a vet and if there needs to be any treatment for illness I would imagine the owner should be responsible and pay for those costs for selling a sick bird."

"I have read quite a few of these reviews and all I can speak about is my experience on my 2.or 3 visits. The store was pretty clean for an older building and a little cramped for space... However... The rodent pets were all in clean cages... I saw no dead fish... I saw the ferret cage clean and covered. The puppies cages are small and wire as stated... But puppies are small and they are not there long. The pups and the cages are clean and they had stuffed animals they played with and laid on... As far as the prices... Well i never figured i would ever pay what I did for my puppy but I did price them at the other pet stores and they're so much more expensive . They had a great selection of pups and other pets as well... I purchased this little guy a few days ago. I found the staff Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It was an easy and pleasant transaction. Thank you"
