Bird selection
We carry a variety of Caiques, Parrots, Cockatiels, Conures, Parakeets, African Greys, and Cockatoos. Our knowledgeable staff will help you choose the perfect bird for you. We also offer grooming and DNA gender analysis services.
Due to the fast turn over and fluctuating inventory, not all the birds shown are always available. We do our best to keep up with the listings, however, call or come by!
Services
BIRD GROOMING — Sunday and Monday, 12 noon - 4 pm
We recommend that domesticated birds should have their wings clipped twice a year. This will protect them from accidents such as flying into a window or escaping into the wild. A bird’s nails should be clipped on a regular basis also. This should be done about 4 times a year or when they become uncomfortable to hold. Nails that are allowed to grow too long run the risk of getting caught on objects. In an effort to free themselves a bird may pull off a nail and bleed uncontrollably.
DNA GENDER ANALYSIS
Most birds are not sexually dimorphic. This means that one cannot tell the sex by appearance only. Our sexing service is done most days, but to be sure that someone is available, please call ahead. This is a simple procedure that involves clipping the tip of a single toenail and getting a small drop of blood. We send that sample to the Animal Genetics Lab in Florida. Results usually take about one week. Cost is $50.00
Our low cost grooming services are provided every Sunday and Monday, from 12pm to 4pm. If our regular service hours do not fit into your schedule, give us a call at (415) 647-8755 and we will make every effort to accommodate you. We also request that you transport your pet in an appropriate carrier to ensure your pet's safety.
