Paradise De Aves Pet Shop 1836 West 47th Street, Chicago, IL 60609

"It’s cheap. It’s close to my house. They have feeder mice. Sometimes. It smells. You will smell when you leave. Don’t go after washing your hair. Animals aren’t kept in great conditions."

"My Bird was sick so I went there for help. They was very helpful and my feather baby feels much better!! They also have a variety of birds and other animals like fish,snakes and lizards!"

"Smell really bad and they don’t take good care of the fishes or other animals. All pets are sick."

"Absolutely do not recommend this store. My mother bought several canaries and finches from this place, as well as a cockatiel and a conure. All the finches and canaries were malnourished and sick to where it took months to nurse them back to health (some died along the way too), and the cockatiel had a broken neck—yes, literally broken—from being cramped in a tiny cage for too long and probably got spooked one day and hit the side panel. I told my mother she shouldn’t have given this place her money but she felt sorry for the poor birds and they are in much better care now than they were there (even the tiel with the broken neck has managed to heal somewhat). They don’t take care of their other animals either. I’m telling anyone who looks into this place, PLEASE REPORT THIS CESSPOOL! SHUT THEM DOWN! CALL THE ASPCA AND HUMANE SOCIETY ON THEM! DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR MONEY! These animals deserve so much better, but buying them is only funding the neglect. I wish I had pictures of how bad the poor birds were when she got them. There’s plenty others being neglected in there too, though, and the place smells like a garbage dump."

"Disgusting, animals deprived of food, and proper care. Iguanas need 70% humidity and we’re unable to do considering the fact that the whole cage was mesh with a bunch of openings. Do not go here or support this hell for these reptiles."
