Choosing a bird

The right match matters more than the right species.

We’d rather spend an hour helping you choose well than sell a bird that isn’t the right fit. A few things we’ll talk through:

  • How much daily time you can spend out-of-cage
  • Noise tolerance — yours and your neighbors’
  • Space for the right size cage
  • Lifespan: many parrots outlive their first owners
  • Children: we like to meet them and see how they interact
  • One bird or two? Birds not handled daily often welcome a companion

Bringing a bird home

Your first-week checklist.

Everything on this list is in stock — and we’re happy to help you put it together.

The right cage

Big enough to spread wings and play, with bar spacing that fits your bird. Wrought iron or stainless steel.

A healthy diet

Start with the pellets or seed your bird already eats, then add fresh produce. We’ll tell you exactly what they’ve been fed.

Perches & toys

Natural branches of varied widths, plus foraging toys to keep a busy mind happy.

Settle-in time

Give your bird a few quiet days to adjust. Questions? Call us — anytime, for the life of your bird.

Small animals

Bunnies, guinea pigs & pocket pets.

If you have the time to hold, cuddle and care for a small companion every day, come visit us. We recommend children be 6–8 before taking on the responsibility themselves.

Rabbits

A bunny lives 6–8 years with proper care. We’ll help you choose and set up.

Adopt a cat

In partnership with Hopalong Animal Rescue.

Hopalong founder Helen Hill asked us to provide a place where rescued cats could be adopted. Today our front window is a well-loved home base for cats and kittens waiting for families.

  • Spayed or neutered, vaccinated & health-screened
  • Screening and an adoption agreement required
  • Mobile adoptions out front on many Saturdays, noon–3pm
  • Can’t adopt? Tell a friend — or support Hopalong
