Legitimate place, they ADORE their birds, and they take in a lot of rescues.

They've been in business long enough to have sold birds to people who die a decade or so later, only for the surviving adult children to return the bird to the seller because the kids don't know how to care for them. Fun place to do jobs, with a few dozen birds screaming and carrying on and having a great ol' time.

While there, I met a Catalina Macaw who stood on the roof of her cage watching me work. I commented to the store owner that the bird was gorgeous, and he said "yeah, but she has a filthy mouth on her."

Moments later this beautiful miracle of nature screeched at me to "Stop, drop and roll, fucker!"
