Parrot Island

"If you have a parrot, this is the store for you! We've been going here for a couple years now to buy food and toys for our parrots. The owner of the store is incredibly knowledgeable (retired avian veterinarian) and he's always been more than willing to share his knowledge. I've learned a lot from him, and knowing the toys here are all bird safe is a relief as well. Would recommend to anyone with parrots."

"Terry is such a wonderful resource for parrot owners in the Twin Cities and beyond. Having been a part of the Avian Veterinary Assn, he knows everything there is to know about parrot care. I am a newish owner of a white capped pionus parrot, and he has given me an awesome vet referral and great suggestions on toys, food, etc. I bought a couple of java branches from this store that are the perfect fit for my parrot. It is worth spending the extra money in-person, as there is no guarantee what kind of tree/branches you'll be getting when you order them online. Everything there is ethically sourced, well researched, so consider it money well spent when buying his products. So grateful for Parrot Island!"

"We've been customers of Parrot Island for over 20 years. The extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff/owners take their time to answer your questions and help you get the best products for your birds. They only sell quality products that they themselves use for their own birds. Simply put, we would never consider buying food, supplies, or toys from anywhere else."

"Great place. I learned so much here about how to give my parrots the best possible life! Not only can I rest easy knowing that everything sold here has been researched and proven to be bird safe, but I also receive a lot of free advice. If I'm concerned about my bird, he'll take the time to look at pictures and share his lifetimes worth of scientific knowledge to help me out when he's not too busy. Please, if you're ever here, listen to Terry--his experience, knowledge, and advice really are well researched and backed by scientific evidence. Also, can't beat that small business customer service! Some of the prices can be a little on the higher side, but that's because it's all high quality, ethically/safely sourced, well researched, bird safe, and human grade. If that's out of your price range, the owner will still help point you in the right direction to find something as safe as possible, even if that might end up not being at his store. He'll be honest about the pros and cons. Very cool guy"

"Expert advice and truely cares about your bird and quality food, toys and supplies. The owner is a real Avian Vet. I will not go anywhere else and worth the drive. The owner will however consult with you over health and behavior issues and make recommendations over the phone then shipping food and supplies to you if needed. I am so thankful. Please visit you will not be disappointed. The membership brings the price down well worth it for sales and discounts."
