The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. If something isn't in stock, orders placed on Tuesday usually arrive by Thursday of the same week. After years of shopping online and at local big-box stores, I'm glad to support this independent, woman-owned business.

They have every fish type and supplies you could hope for in your aquarium and they offer an experience you can't find in your chain-type pet stores. 10/10 THANK YOU

Secondly, the guy behind the counter was clueless. When I mentioned that I called and no one answered. He just shrugged and said the women that usually answered the phone wasn't in for the last few days. I asked about what I was looking for and he said he doesn't work on that side and has no idea. I try to support local businesses but I ended up at PETCO where I will probably go back again next time.

Pompton Plains, NJ - we have just set up a birdhouse and put out some feed in our backyard hoping…read moreto attract some nesting birds in spring, and to our delight, all sorts of beautiful birdies started visiting! Now excited to up the ante, we visited the (newly opened!) Backyard Birding Store to get another bird feeder and buy more feed. I had many questions and the owners are super helpful and knowledgeable. I hit up Yelp to find a store specializing in birds because you're simply not going to get this level of expertise, inventory variety, service and attention at a general pet shop or a hardware store. I was looking for a squirrel-deterring bird feeder and was shown several kinds and how they functioned. I also asked for advice about types of feed, set-ups, etc. and store owner Andrew was very patient and helpful in explaining everything. They carry a large, fantastic, and high quality selection of bird feeders and food (for squirrel friends too!). I was surprised to see that the prices of feed and suet cakes are comparable to or even cheaper than big box stores & hardware stores. And the variety and quality are way better. There's basically no reason for me to go to those places with this local resource, and I would much rather support small businesses rooted in the community such as this. There are also gifts, books, things for kids like bug catchers, and other products and accessories. This shop is perfect for the bird and nature lover in your life, if you're looking to start a new hobby (or with your child), or if you just want to attract some lovely birds to your backyard!

The recent grand opening of The Backyard Birding Store on March 1, 2025, was a resounding success,…read morewith a great turnout that showcased the community's passion for birding. It was wonderful to see so many bird enthusiasts come together to celebrate this new haven for bird lovers, and the excitement and joy shared among fellow nature enthusiasts made the event truly special. The Backyard Birding Store has quickly established itself as a go-to resource for anyone passionate about backyard birding. With an impressive selection of high-quality birdseed, feeders, and decorative birdhouses, the store is truly a treasure trove for those looking to attract and care for local birds. The experience of watching and listening to the delightful songs of backyard birds can bring immense joy and connection to nature, and this store is dedicated to helping customers create that sanctuary in their own gardens. Birds play critical roles in our ecosystems, contributing to pest control, pollination, and seed dispersal. By offering birdhouses and feeders, we not only foster a welcoming environment for these vital creatures but also cultivate a vibrant backyard filled with life and energy. The Backyard Birding Store is committed to guiding customers on their journey to enhance their outdoor spaces and embrace the beauty of nature. As John James Audubon once said, "The bird is the most perfect of all animals; it is the one that flies, that sings, that is free." This sentiment perfectly captures the essence of what birding can bring to our lives--a sense of freedom, inspiration, and joy. A special highlight of the opening was the showcase of fine-art avian photography by my friend Cheryl Colgan of Cheryl's Birds. Her stunning images of songbirds and warblers captivated attendees, and it was a joy to see her work celebrated in such a meaningful way. With around 50 matted 5x7 prints and unique framed 8x10 photographs available, Cheryl's art adds a touch of beauty and inspiration to the store. The owners, Andrew and Joanne, have created not only a retail space but a community hub where bird lovers can connect, share their experiences, and deepen their appreciation for nature. Their journey from passionate hobbyists to dedicated business owners reflects a commitment to fostering a love for backyard birding in others. If you haven't had the chance to visit The Backyard Birding Store yet, I encourage you to stop by and explore their offerings. Supporting local businesses like this not only enriches our community but also helps us all embrace the joy of birding.

terrible customer service-my daughter bought a white tree frog here and 4 days later it died. She…read morewas so looking forward to getting this frog and did all the research. She did everything she was told to do and even waited a few days after buying the frog to bring it home so that the habitat had time to adjust. After finding the frog dead she went back to the store to tell them. At this point she is already devastated and crying. After telling the worker in the store and almost breaking down telling them the guy acted like he couldn't care any less and said well it's not because of stress. Basically said oh well and left it at that. No money back, no compensation, no answers, nothing OK that's fine whatever if that's how you want to conduct business then cool, BUT to have zero sympathy towards a customer who is clearly upset and to have a "that sucks" attitude is absolutely disgusting. Makes you wonder if they really care about the animals or just trying to profit. Never coming here again. I hope that guy has the day he deserves and maybe shouldn't be working around animals if he lacks basic compassion for living things. Giving them 1 star because I can't give ZERO
