The Bird Shop

Lots has been said about how great this shop is, but I’ll add my two cents. Staff is knowledgeable, professional, friendly… but most importantly, the birds are well-​cared for, clean, and healthy.
As far as I’m concerned, this is the only shop in Sacramento to consider getting your next feathered friend.

We have been coming to the bird shop for about 3 years or so. They were great at helping my daughter pick her first bird. We have two beautiful cockatiels. I always board both of them when we go on long trips and I know they are well taken care of. store selection of supplies is the best. Honestly the prices are better than the pet stores. I do not know what I would do without The Bird Shop.

Birds are beautiful, but never greeted once anytime we’ve been there.

This store is so awesome. In June, they have so many birds and more to come in a hatchery. The variety of toys is huge. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Their prices might be little higher for particular breed like rose breasted cockatoo, you just have do your research. The toys might be couple dollars more than at the parrot planet, but the bird shop has better variety I think. I was amazed at their Senegal and caique and how they lay on their backs in your palm. Especially, senegal, wow… so friendly and playful. I got my jardines parrot at the other shop, but I bought a sun conure from the bird shop in the past and she was great. If you are looking for the parrot, decide on the bird you want and then start shopping and do a lot of research, especially if you want big parrots like amazon, grey, think twise… Would highly recommend Jardines Parrot, Senegals or Caique)

Stopped by with my husband for the first time and seriously fell in love with the place. I love how the store lets you interact with the birds without hovering over you. They have a ton of different babies right now. We will definitely be buying a baby from the bird shop in the future! All birds looked healthy and had fresh food and water.
Love love love!

So initially I wanted to get a parakeet for my kids, but the Petco employee warned me that they were neurotic and I should consider a cockatiel. I called all the pet and bird stores and couldn’t find one. Finally, I called the Bird Shop. They put me on a waiting list for a baby cockatiel. About six weeks later they called me and said they had two. I went the next day and picked up the most amazing pet ever! When they say that their birds are hand raised it is so true. This bird (Scooter) already knew how to step up and just wants to be held all day long. I totally recommend this store!

Such a cute little store!!! Becky was so helpful answering our questions about our newly parakeet couple. We will definitely coming back for our bird necessities!!!

Very helpful staff. Our bird had to travel for over 200 miles so they took extra time explaining anything to watch for. Far better prices than most places. I will be back.

This is the place to meet your new bird. Or pick up toys, food, treats, and play structures! They also do clipping, trimming and boarding for a very reasonable price. The entire staff is very knowledgeable and you can tell they care about their birds and their shop.

I just can not say enough good things about the bird shop! The staff is wonderful! They have the best selection of unique toys and the cheapest food and an amazing selection of food and treats! In recent years it seemed as though they had less birds but that has turned around. They have had tons lately! They do a fabulous job on nail trims and wing clippings and they are really cheep. Most of their birds are so friendly and have such great personalities! They have two big parties with a great sale every year too! One in march for their anniversary and one in july for Trouble (the store macaw)‘s birthday!

This is the place to go if you want a specific bird, although they are pricey. They have it all. Lots of birds, cages, play equipment, accessories and a ton of different foods you can buy in bulk. They even offer beak and nail trims for a service fee. If you get on their email list you will get coupons and deals sent your way.

I am a parrot Mom of 2 cockatoos. I would never ever take my kids any where else for nails and boarding while on vacation. They have every thing you need from food to toys and cages and lots of things in between. When we go on vacation, we know we have no worries leaving them. The staff goes out of their way to make sure each bird has their own food needs and special diets are okay, and they all call the bird kids by name and really care about them and this is a bit of a stressful time when leaving them for vacation.
It is fun to take them to see the other birdies and pick out new toys and treats. They have it all… and they do it all… Stay away from Pet Co and Pet Smart if you are buying a bird… they know nothing about birds and their birds are from bird mills and cross bred. Ask anyone of the kids who work there where their birds come from and watch the blank stares. Remember a PARROT is a companion bird, not a kids bird. They want to be with YOU ²⁴⁄₇ and they are loud and love to voice their happiness… and never lock a parrot in a cage just to look at the pretty bird… It will die! They must be free to be part of the family when night time is over and the sun comes out. They chew a lot to keep their beaks sharp, so wooden toys are a must. remember chewing is Instinctual and no breaking this habit… Not a parrot person then Get a parakeet or a canary and always get a pair, so they can be a family just like in the wild. You might say these birds have never been in the wild, but you are wrong. They have instincts even when bred in captivity… Do not buy a parrot on a whim. do your research or you will be sorry and the bird will suffer for your stupidity… Ask the Bird shop people, there is always birds for everyone… young and old and yes, they are very intelligent kids… My kids talk, and they know what they are saying… mimicking…I think not… Now go have fun at the Bird Shop… Ellie and Cody the Cockatoo kids say hi!

Let me start off by saying that I am a cat and dog person. I know absolutely nothing about birds. My boyfriend asked me to pick up some bird food for his mom’s lovebird. This shop is close to where I live and I know it has been in business for a very long time. I knew they would be able to help me get what the bird needed. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and helpful. The store is clean and organized. I enjoyed looking at all of the lovely birds for sale. There seems to be everything there that a bird owner would need or want. If I ever need something for a bird again, I will definitely be back!

Love this place. Been going there for years. I have a goffin cockatoo and they take care of her nails. They are great with my bird. I use to have a mynah bird and they carried the food for him, they had special ordered it back in the day. Best place around. I am looking to buying a sun conure from you soon. :)
Thanks, you are the best.

I got my cockatiel from here in June and I love her. I was very impressed by the store and staff. Becky (sorry if I got your name wrong) was wonderful in making sure I was ready to get a fluffy friend and answered all my questions.
I love coming here just to look at the pretty birds! They are all well cared for and it’s very apparent that the staff are very knowledgeable.

The absolute BEST bird shop in town! You can’t go wrong whether it’s to purchase a bird, buy food or toys for your bird; or to have your birds toes and/​or wings trimmed and they will bird-​sit while you’re on vacation (reasonable fee).
Professional, caring staff.

I love coming to The Bird Shop to get bird treats, toys, perches, nails and flight feathers cut, and to see my old friend, Trouble.
One day I was standing in the store and I heard someone say, «hello». It was in a man’s voice. I turned to see who said «hello» and it was Trouble. I had thought it was a person saying hello. He always remembers me when I go in. Another day he was hanging upside down in his cage. Several people tried talking to him, but he ignored them. I walked over and talked to him, he came down to see me. I told him that his food looks good. He picked up some food and tried to feed it to me through the cage bars. Cool dude.
I guess this review is supposed to be about The Bird Shop, and not one of it’s residents, so I’ll add that the staff is really helpful, and professional. They know birds! The shop is clean, and has a lot of variety. Many toys in many price ranges. I also bought a large cage there and a play stand for my Eclectus to play on when he is not in his cage. I love to see all the different birds and interact with some of them. It’s a fun place. I’m going there this afternoon.

Can’t think of a better place to shop for bird food and supplies. The Bird Shop has great variety in food, toys, and supplies for birds. You can find seed mixes for various species in mind as well as dehydrated bugs and mealworms. The store is clean and well maintained. Whenever I visit the average Petco store, I often find dust on products that have been on the shelf for awhile… but I didn’t find any dust on anything at The Bird Shop.
Likewise, the birds here seem well cared for and content. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable about their birds. Moreover, this business cares about issues of proper care and conservation of parrots.
Although I live in Davis, I plan to purchase food and supplies for my parrot from this shop whenever I’m out in Sacramento.

Definitely a class act in the realm of bird shops with extensive supplies. All here are very knowledgeable in all aspects of bird care. Always have a great selection of hand fed birds and have boarding available. I drive an hour and a half to go to this very professional place.

This business is everything I would have hoped it to be and more. The reviews on Unilocal were very positive and now i can see why. We were in Sacramento today on other business from where we live in Stockton Ca. so we decided to stop by and see what we could see as we are a family of animal lovers. We have an Umbrella Cockatoo, a Blue and Gold Macaw as well as a breeding pair of Rose Breasted Cockatoos.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, they answered our questions in detail and gave us all sorts of useful advice. As we were shopping we noted their genuine concern for us getting exactly and only what we really needed for our birds. To me being a business owner myself, I felt that they were exceptional in every way and, I highly recommend them to anyone interested in exotic birds.
