House of Birds 1953 Harlem Road, Loves Park, IL 61111

"We paid a lot of money for a bird and didn’t even have it a month and it passed away. We drove two hours to pick up the bird. It was a birthday present. The guy said there’s nothing he can do. Well, what you could do is be sympathetic and tell the owners you’re sorry for their loss!!! He died on my moms birthday and Thanksgiving day!! The worst thing to wake up to! Her screaming will be forever traumatizing. Out 10k with the bird, food, medical bills etc."

"If you don’t know if you should go there because of the reviews GO! This place is AWESOME! The old man that was there is wife pasted away he owned the store and couldn’t walk very well but the store was very clean! He sold us two green cheeked Conyers and they are so healthy! He new everything we needed and helped us with everything! He even got us in contact with his exotic vet! Amazing service and his Birds where very healthy and he new all there was to know! He even gave us a discount because of everything we got!"

"super knowledgeable guy up front and he doesn’t like people wasting his time which i very highly respect. he knows more about birds than some vets i believe and he treated me very well when i came in to check out a new parakeet and get some treats. i ended up getting my bird miko from him and he has been a good bird. the only thing i didn’t like was the amount of bugs in the store, but i would be willing to come in and help him out at the store since the wife has passed. i think he just needs an extra hand and the place would be a perfect niche spot to get everything you need from birds, to toys, to food, to especially abc knowledge and advice. thank you for everything you’ve done and i will be a returning customer❤️❤️"

"I bought a green cheek from here in July, I had her for 5 days and woke up one morning to find her dead. I called the store because they had told me that they have a 5 day warranty. The woman said that she'd have to ask her husband and then called me back to say that the warranty is now two days and that the SMELL of my ferrets killed her. I should have just stopped the sale in the store when they said that I'm just buying an expensive chew toy and the guy that they were friends with said he was happy when his daughter's ferrets died when I mentioned that I own ferrets as well. My conure never had contact with my ferrets by the way. I later found out that this store does zero disease testing for any of their birds. I bought another green cheek a few weeks later at a shop near Chicago and he is perfectly fine but everyday that I wake up I'm terrified that I'm going to find him dead like she was. So they sold me a sick bird for 500 hundred, and have traumatized me. Please don't buy from here. I know it seems close, but just bite the bullet and drive the two hours to a reputable store. The conure on the right is the one that died and the conure on the left is my little Milo who is doing fine."

"Purchase a Green Cheek Conure from them and he is very healthy. They are on the higher price for birds but worth the money. I would recommend them as they are an older couple that has been in business and is not new to bird care or breeding."
