What a wonderful experience. I found Melzano's when searching online. I left a VM in the evening and Brandon called me back the next day. We corresponded via text and he let me know that he had a conure that was exactly what we were looking for. After a little back and forth we made an appointment to visit his nursery. What a wonderful experience. When we arrived he gave us a very thorough and transparent tour of his space. He show led how he organizes the space and cares for the birds. You can tell that he is proud of his work and truly loves the birds. He makes himself available 24 hours a day for emergencies and questions. When we arrived home with sunshine (yes that's his name... Look at his pic and it makes sense) you can tell he has been well taken care of and socialized. I was concerned about our dogs making him uncomfortable but quite the opposite. They are still adjusting but he is very comfortable around them. If you are looking for a new bird friend, Melzano's is your place for sure! read more

What a pleasure to meet Brandon. Talk about someone who is caring and dedicated to giving someone the best pet they could buy - and I found Melzano's just by luck. We emailed numerous times - Brandon usually responded within a day. When we met he immediately took me on a tour of his facilities - you could tell he was really into caring for birds. Everything is very organized from the breeding, hatching, hand feeding/socializing to me the new owner - and the facilities were clean. After talking about a few different conures and their characteristics and habits, I decided on a double mutation Turquoise green cheek - Brandon said it would be very blue. This is the amazing part - I can be part of the hand feeding and socializing experience which should be just around the corner. He gave me his personal phone number and told me if I had any questions to call and then also offered 24 hour emergency service once I have the bird. The purchase also includes a veterinarian visit. And the price of the bird is the out the door cost. Melzano's Parrots is a supplier of pet stores so his birds have to be top notch and for what you receive in the total package is well worth the price. I called my friend that works at a local Pet Store chain and she was really impressed with the service and what's included in the cost. And Melzano's is one of their bird suppliers. I may be adding on to this as I go through the socializing experience. I can't wait. read more

Great place to buy amazing birds from-I bought my bird Mazie here and have had the best advice and experience from them.

We bought our sun conure from Brandon. We love OP. So loving. Brandon returns calls right away and has been great to work with. Thank you!

DO NOT BUY A BIRD FROM THIS GUY... You have heard of puppy mills... He is a bird mill.. My wife wanted an African Grey... So we looked online and we bought this Guy's BS.. Oh we love our babies we sleep with them by our bead... If you get a Baby now we will send you photos while they are with us being hand fed and socialized... We ll I never got updates... It was hard to even get a returned phone call... When you go to the Place it looks like a hatching factory... So after we pick up the Bird it anything but social... My wife is in tears... I call him and he never returns calls, ever... So, now I buy every African Grey Book I can find... I learn how to socialize the bird and things start improving... Now the bird starts picking out it's feathers.. I call Melzano's and no returned calls... I tell him I am going to go to Yelp and other online blogs if I don't hear from him... Not, that i am looking for him to do something for nothing... I already have $600.00 in Vet Bills and another $300.00 in spays, vitamins, toys extra playpens, humidifiers etc... So he calls me and says you need to get a vest for her... Now, I made sure he was very clear on how pissed I was... He apologized up and down and the vest will help... I will text you where you can buy them... Never heard from him again... Now the Upside... Never wanted a bird... Now the stupid bird has me wrapped around her Paw (claw)... It's an amazing pet.. They don't sleep during the day like a dog or cat... Love her... She is still bald... More vets next week... If you want a bird look around... Play with the bird... Don't make the mistake I made... I went to a Parrot Store to buy food... They had like 20 birds for sale... None in cages, with a woman who cares... You could bond with the bird right then and there... I almost bought another bird... Me a guy who hates birds... Now, I have one who rules my life... Karma!!! Melzano's, Karma is going to get you... BTW I welcome a response... read more

After speaking with Brandon my mind had been put to ease. My baby grey is growing nicely. The weekly updates are adorable I get to see my baby change from a bald baby to a adorable bird. Thank you so much. read more

Melzano's Parrot Place - Peyton playing with his toys... - Pet Stores Near Me

My wife and I were looking all over San Diego for a White Belly Caique but we could not find a baby one. After numerous search on the web, we stumbled upon Melzano's Parrot Place. I immediately called the place and Brandon was very helpful. He scheduled a visit to his place and we were amazed by the love and compassion that he gives to each and every baby bird that he sells. We finally found the right place. My wife, myself and the kids were invited weekly to see our baby bird grow. There is no place like this in San Diego. This is not a typical bird store. This place is a paradise for birds. We are so happy with our White Belly Caique. Logan turned out to be the sweetest and most playful bird, thanks to the loving care of Melzano's Parrot Place. I highly recommend Melzano's to every bird loving people out there! Thank you so much. read more
