Come to find that the cage I bought for $230 (I have a receipt) was missing operational wheels, two to three bowls, and two grates. It is the absence of one of the grates that makes it troublesome, as I miss either the top grate to hang yours or the bottom that prevents the bird from contact with their poop. The bowls are missing (fine I'll deal), it was a mess when I received it, the drawer is bent, and they are impossible to reach. I tried to reach them, sent them a message which was really chill, but they didn't respond. This is in response to being ghosted. Thank you.

Sissy and family are champion show breeders. They spend about 100% of their time working with…read morebeautiful birds. I'm returning to Sissy's bird colony today to adopt a few more beautiful birds. Her environment is clean, professional, experienced, and birds are healthy. The people who leave false bad reviews because you don't know how to care for birds are awful. There are many factors involved with caring for birds from vitamins, environmental air, water, temperature, attention and what you feed them. It's most likely not the breeder who had caused your birds disorders; it's what's going into and around the birds. Sissy is professional and experienced with many birds, and would never cause issues to birds. Like I said, I'm a returning customer and if the birds and Sissy weren't fantastic, then I'd be going to Petsmart instead of driving 55 miles. This breeder is 100% highly recommended; she's wonderful!

Update on my previous review. People be careful or you could get into an emotional, mental and…read morefinancial roller coaster. I hesitated to write this and postponed it for three years, using the time to educate myself and connect with avian specialists and researchers. The fabulous macaw which we adore and purchased from Sissy has an incurable condition called Avian Ganglioneuritis which is passed vertically through the egg. Lilly (Sissy) denied responsibility even though I made clear I have no requests from her part and the only reason I contacted her was to inform her so she can test the breeding pair and save future owners from going through this ordeal. We all need to come forward in order to stop the spread of this horrible virus that will eventually result into a painful death of our most beloved feathered family member. For more information watch the Lafeber webinars on the topic or talk to your avian vet.

This is something to tweet about! I received a gift card to this store dedicated to our fine…read morefeathered friends! Located in Short Pump, in a strip mall plaza, upon entering I was greeted by a pleasant woman who helped me choose the perfect seeds for winter feeding. She mentioned that they "recycle" their gift cards by reselling them and reloading them. Everything was well organized and tidy, however the selection isn't as wide as other " yard birding" shops. The inventory consisted of some feeders, birdhouses, bird baths and bird accessories, but if you are looking for something unique, you may be barking up the wrong tree. Displayed were some good deals on clearance, so check that out. I purchased a nut and seed bag and some suet. The prices were higher than I expected. In a "finch", I'd shop here again, but I prefer my local store for my yard birds!

You need it? They've got it. Great variety of feeders and birdhouses. Helpful knowledgeable staff.read more

Went in for a pick up delivery today for my dog food thinking everything goes smooth, usually…read morefriendly encounters with the cashier or whoever is working there but today was a little different. I pick up my dog food once a month usually so I have been going there for the past 7months. But today I went in tried picking up my dog food which my sister ordered, but the girl in the front was just completely rude. No, greetings or hi how can I help you and as soon as I walked in she completely looked at me different. Regardless I came in walked up and said I needed to pick up my dog food, she asked can I get a last name. Usually I order my food online myself so knowing my sister bought it this time I used my last name and completely forgot she has gotten married recently and changed her last name. So when I gave her my last name the girl in the front looked at me like I'm crazy but I showed her screenshots with the order number and receipt that shows everything. She completely ignored that and asked for the last name so I just called my sister resolved it and gave her the right last name. After I said the last name she just stares at me for a second gives me a weird look and turned to look at her co worker then she kind of slowly turned around as she's hesitant to give me the dog food. When she did give me the dog food nothing was said no thank you or anything. Kind of sad I've been getting my dog food here for about half a year now and this one incident will have me look for another place to get my dog food from. Maybe try hiring people that will have them come back and not feel uncomfortable JUST TO PICK UP DOG FOOD can't imagine walking around asking for help about food with the kind of enthusiasm that the employee gives off. Great to know that this would be the last time I spend my money here!
