I bought an overpriced dog toy covered in dust and seen brands I've never seen before as they're way older than me with sun faded packaging. I'm not sure how Gary opened this place, maybe it was once clean and popular but now it seems like a hoarders heaven. I can't imagine what anyone would need to buy from here besides bugs.

Oh, the joy I would experience by coyly rattling off pithy reviews with one syllable. But no; I must comment in detail to help my Yelp community avoid such establishments. Ok, here goes. We walked in, smelled the cramped, third-world, hoarder garage feigning to be a store and felt a sudden sadness for the living things inside. My wife looked at me as if to suggest I had taken her here as punishment after I shot down her request to go to the Brookfield Petsmart. No, I said, we have to support mom and pop businesses! Well, maybe the people working there are nice and informed (as some other reviewers suggested) but we shall never find out.

Have been coming to this establishment since it was in its previous location. Was on a job…read moreassignment in the area and went to check out the store. Long story (and assignment), but left town with a hand fed baby African Grey parrot! Had been a big dream; never thought it would happen. Going on twenty years later, he is still doing well. He has led quite the unexpected life. He travels all over the country (and loves it.) He has adapted well to everything. Usually with good cheer and a sense of adventure. I am convinced that is due to how well socialized he was when he was little -- and hand-raised by Jo. This is such a unique place. A store, yes, but more a baby parrot haven. They are raised like children. And it shows. You would like to purchase a parrot? Not so fast. You will be kindly, unobtrusively, but thoroughly checked out. Do you know what you are doing? Getting in to? Understand the attention and resource investments? For your lifetime (likely)? Does the parrot like you? (Really, the parrot will decide.) They might refuse to let you leave with one of their babies. Understand this transaction is taken that seriously -- before you go here. Otherwise, the store itself has everything imaginable parrot related. Questions will receive knowledgeable answers. I even got my veterinary referral from Jo. It is really hard to find a good avian vet. (We're still going there. Even if we have to drive hours to get there. Worth it.) The store has everything you could need for a parrot. Cages in every size and shape. So many toys -- screened for safety. Any healthy parrot food. There are play nets and exercise trees. And ..... there are baby birds. Jo finds responsible, local breeders who maybe have one or two breeding pairs of parrots. She finishes the hand feeding at the store and socializes the baby birds. I am convinced this is why Dorian has never plucked, screamed, bitten, any of the usual parrot behavior challenges. He is a cuddly, curious, adventurous soul. Jo's Exotic Birds is a serious parrot place. Just understand that the parrot's interests are respected here. Outcomes are reliably better that way.
