This is literally the place you need to go. My son has been begging us for a snake for years, and as he is pretty young, we didn't want to just dive in with it. He's in sixth grade now, and his little sister's in third grade. We figured they're probably old enough now to be able to take care of a reptile. I had seen this place advertised previously and we happen to be down in Ventura so we went and checked it out. We talked with who I would imagine is the owner, an extremely knowledgeable person who also happens to be friendly and helpful. He gave us what I would call almost too much information as we are brand new two the whole reptile thing, there's so much to learn and there's so much knowledge he wanted to impart on us The kids are interested in a baby snake of some kind, and we were lucky enough that they had a fair amount of young snakes in the shop of all kinds of different exotic varieties. We ended up taking a small python home in our kids are over the moon with it. It's a beautiful creature and they had a lot of of the items that we needed in stock there to be able to set up our terrarium correctly. I would highly recommend the shop, as everybody we spoke to there was very kind, professional, and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back

I just love(d) Birds and B's, nothing but positivity and delight when visiting there…read more 10 years ago I adopted a double yellow, headed Amazon. She is the light of our lives, and Kim at Birds And B's has taken care of her since the day we brought her home. She offered sincere care, concern and incredible knowledge about the Amazon Parrot. Echo is now 10 years old, and as I do, every month or two, went to retrieve my supplies, that were needed for her. To my surprise, the business had been sold. Not a problem as I introduced myself to the new owner, and carried on with my purchases. I have to say, I have continued to shop here, as the quality of merchandise had always been the same, and I expected nothing less. I was wrong, unfortunately, and I've decided to take my business elsewhere, at this point. This was not an easy decision as I love the "Mom and Pop" vibe, and I'm MORE than happy to keep these types of businesses alive, and support them, in my hometown of Ventura. I tried my best, with the new owner, even had Echo groomed there two times, even though I never felt like a valued customer. In fact, I felt like she didn't even like me, which is crazy. I would come in, say hi with a smile, and was treated with just a stare. 7 out of 7 times, I would stand in line for SEVERAL and i mean 10's of minutes, while she talked with ONE person. Did not know who that person was, It seemed, she would make up conversations just to not engage with me. I would always buy toys, food, even want to ask about new products, but she was completely uninterested. I consistently gave her the benefit of the doubt, but finally realized it wasn't me and there was nothing I could do about it. The last visit I made, I walked in, and surprisingly saw a familiar face, an old employee that had worked there prior, to the new owner. It was literally the best visit I had had, and I made that my last as I saw the attention that the old employee gave immediately, and knew then, i would not be returning. I gave it one last attempt, and I called in for a grooming appointment; early by my standards, which surprised me because I had JUST been in there, but realized I don't think her nails were even addressed [trimmed] on that final grooming. That was the final straw. Wish me luck, as I know the care for exotic birds are limited, locally, when it comes to GOOD care, but I just won't take the chance anymore. Simply said; I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. As you can see, i PREVIOUSLY, HIGHLY recommended it I'm being very nice by giving that extra star, as I don't want my review to be questioned at all. This is 100% fact and I have given her more than ample opportunity, even questioning myself ‍ Ugh, so excited to MOVE ON

In October I fell madly in love with a 'Princess of Wales Parakeet', who had been attacked as a baby and was missing part of his beak. (This bird, Cosmo, was NOT from Birds & Bs) While he's still young, Amelia has been grooming Cosmo's beak every week for months, little by little, to help his beak grow out in a way that helped his underbite, and prevents splitting. The progress he's made so far is remarkable. She has been so patient and kind, explaining the process in detail along the way. I know Cosmo is living his best life thanks to her. We are forever grateful.
