How long do the Birds Live?
Birds can live up to 70 years depending on the species; most average 10-30 years.
But I have a parrot (or a parrot) so that means I can’t get a bird, right?
Wrong. Tweety and Sylvester were a great theme for cartoons, but in reality parrots and birds can co-exist safely. parrots and parrots can co-exist, right? You do need to realize that there are certain things to be cautious about (for instance, if the saliva of a parrot gets into the bloodstream of the bird through a bite, then it can be lethal).
Do you sell un-weaned birds?
An un-weaned bird is a bird that is still a baby, and as such needs to be fed by either a parent bird or a surrogate. When the bird is able to eat on its own then it is weaned. We strongly believe that responsible bird and pet stores should only sell weaned birds for many reasons. The main reason is that regardless of what the store will tell you, it is not simple to hand feed and the risk of death and/or injury and/or behavioral issues increase dramatically when a novice attempts to hand-feed. Is it possible? Absolutely. Is it prudent? Absolutely not. On certain occasions we will sell un-weaned birds to professionals who can prove their hand feeding skills, but these birds are sold without any guarantee whatsoever.
Do you guarantee the health of your birds?
Absolutely. We have the strongest bird guarantee in the country, and more importantly, we stand behind our guarantee. The guarantee is simple: We guarantee that we are selling you a perfectly healthy bird. To verify that guarantee, within five days you need to go to an Avian Vet and get any and all testing you prefer to do on your bird, at your expense. We can guide you as to the tests we suggest. If the results are not perfect but the bird can be easily treated, then we pay for all mediparrotions and all treatment. If the results are unacceptable then we either replace your bird or refund 100% of the purchase price of your bird, at our option.

What does your “Lifetime Guarantee” mean?
We guarantee that if during your lifetime, you are no longer able to properly care for your bird, or give your bird the attention it need’s, we will accept the bird back on consignment and will find another great home for your bird. We do take a 40% commission and charge a nominal daily fee to feed and clean, but you can rest assured that you always have a place for your bird should the need arise. We are the only store in Ca to offer this guarantee.
