A Bird Haven

I LUV Bird Haven. They have the best prices n town, they’re easy going, always helpful, n have a monstrous selection of food, toys, cages, cage furniture & fixtures, supplements, & birds. BH offers 1 of the largest selections of natural wood branch perches n SD & they also have birds on open display that u can handle. Parking is n the rear on 2^nd Ave. The lot is really tight & can be a trick 2 maneuver n but it’s worth the effort. Once u shop here, u prob won’t go n e where else!

Favorite place to visit. I got often (a few times a month). We bought our Senegal from them 4 years ago and she’s been the best addition to our family. The cages are kept clean, I’ve been there when they were in the middle of cleaning. They are given fresh food and water (birds are messy so if you go in and it’s dirty it’s because the bird messed it) and it’s replenished throughout the day. Birds are either out on the stands or in their cages.

I love this place! I’m a bonafide bird lover, and I love interacting with all of their parrots. It literally is my happy place. Unlike other places I’ve been to, where I don’t even feel comfortable picking up a bird because the employees are down my neck, this place is nothing like that. I know I’m putting my finger out there at my own risk lol. Ive never bought a bird from them because they’re pretty pricey but I hope to one day! Thank you Bird Haven for being an outlet for all fellow bird lovers :)

The people here are knowledgeable and friendly, they have a great variety of cages, toys, foods, and so on, and there are a lot of cool birds to look at!

Very experienced employees, and they all love working there everyone was very helpful

Wonderful customer service very knowledgeable lots of great Bird Sd very beautiful love the place I highly recommend

Even though I explained that I wanted to match up my VERY tame/​hand raised lovebird, I was sold a wild mixed breed female, even though she was pawned off as a pure lovebird. We tried to work with her for over a year but she brutalized our tame bird, almost killing him. When we returned her we didn’t even expect store credit, but got berating and treated rudely by cashier. Bird cages in the bird area and nursery are small and dirty. Stay away if you love animals.

This place is super clean and they take excellent care of their birds. I board my birds there when I go on vacation and they do such a great job with them. The staff is very helpful and always take the time to answer any questions I have. I wouldnt go anywhere else for my birds needs.

This place is great. The store is clean and they do honor their guarantees.
That’s the only reason I took a star off. I bought a bird from Bird Haven and brought it to the best avian vet in San Diego, who informed me that the bird has a liver problem. I brought him back to the store and they wrote me a check for the cost of the bird and all taxes back. Unfortunately, I am out of the money from having taken him to the vet, but definitely better safe than sorry!
I took him back and they required the paperwork from the vet. Luckily I was able to get an appointment before that 7 day health guarantee was up!

Though I have liked the selection of bird accessories I have found here I would NOT recommend buying a cage from here. I bought what seemed like a nice powder-​coated cage from here only 2 years ago and within those two years the door handle has fallen off the front door and cannot be put back on, but more importantly, there’s rust. While I’m not expecting these cages to last forever, 2 years is hugely unacceptable for a cage near $ 500 in price. When I went to talk to them about it they just said they’re from China and are meant to be replaced within 5 years. I am only giving them 3 stars because they were at least willing to order me a new door handle, so it’s not like they aren’t trying completely. Just stay away from their cages if you want something to last as they are not durable.

The staff here is wonderful. The birds you buy from here are always happy and healthy. My only complaint is that the owner is so rude. I hate the thought of her making a penny off of me. She always has a haughty arrogance and just seems to be a very unpleasant person. For her bad attitude I am taking a star off.

They do a great job with all they have going on. There are a ton of birds and during the summer they board upwards of 40 at a time. They did a great job though when we boarded two birds there during their busiest time. They do love the birds so that is the most important thing.

I’ve been shopping at this store for many years and always find what’s needed at a fair price. I bought a baby Greenwing Macaw from these folks and it was very healthy and they clip wings and nails for free… forever. They also have HUGE bags of macaw mix too. Can’t beat the service as well. So why are people griping? PETA to the rescue?
I get pretty upset at the people who grip about this place because they think the condition of the cages are bad or that there’s poop everywhere. Birds crap every few minutes and I have to clean my birds perch every day but it still turns green from all the crap everywhere. Get a life people and stop griping. Birds crap so get over it. The small birds are in small cages and have plenty of room. The large birds are in big cages as well.
Bird Haven is in business after so many years because they provide an excellent service. The employees LOVE birds and it shows. They will take the time to help those with less knowledge and their service is well above normal.
For instance: I bought my first Greenwing macaw many years ago but wasn’t sure he was right for me a few weeks later. They actually let me exchange him for another bird with no extra charge. After a week I went back to get my first bird again and they were happy to allow it. That’s service!
I have two Greenwing Macaws now. I bought the second one from another breeder but they still clip both birds for free even though I only bought one from them. I always buy my food and cages/​perches/​toys there. They have an excellent selection and the birds are always happy and healthy.
I’m a very happy customer.

I am still bringing my bird in here for boarding and they still do a great job for that. I read some of the other reviews, and all I can say is that I cut my own bird’s wings, but if I had someone else do it, I would be very specific. For example, «only cut the first three feathers». Or «cut all the feathers, but leave them 3 inches long». Whatever you want the person to do, be specific. Saying «Don’t cut too much» doesn’t really tell the person what you want them to do exactly.” That can mean anything.
Different people expect different ways of bird feather trimming so where ever you get this done, be specific and you won’t have any problems. Or better yet, learn how to cut and trim your own bird’s nails, beak (when necessary) and feathers. Birds live a long time so their families should know how to provide basic care.
I’ve owned my Mulluccan for 24 years. I handle his care myself, but I also have dogs. When I get my dog trimmed, which is something I do not do myself, I’m specific. «Don’t cut any hair off of her face». If I’m not specific, and they do something I don’t like, then I blame myself, not the person who did the cutting.
I really like Bird Haven. They give my bird, who is a handful, bites, and likes to escape his enclosure, lots of love and positive attention while I’m gone. They give him fruits and veggies every day without me having to ask. The cage is always clean when I pick him up and they follow my instructions.
I give them five stars, again.

We got a young handfed very tame cockatiel from Bird Haven. The customer service was great and we love our new bird!

Well it’s been 3 months since we got our grey’s wings clipped and she is still crashing to the ground. My fear finally came true. She injured her leg and is limping now. Took her to the vet which cost me $ 100.00 and the first thing the vet said was «who clipped her wings?» He was shocked by what an awful job they did and he is very concerned about our bird furthering injuring herself as it can be months and months before new feathers grow back. Just so you all know African grey’s are not naturally good flyers so you only need to clip the first 2 – 3 feathers… NOT THE WHOLE WING!!!

I come here as often as I can from Oceanside to get my lovebirds Harrison’s pellets when I forget to order them online. I wish this was closer to my house I would come more often to visit the birds. I unexpectedly found my Umbrella Cockatoo here when shopping for bird food and I love her to death. I’ve had her over a year now and her and my lovebird are best friends and she is just as sweet as can be. They take good care of the birdies here! So fun to visit all the different parrots.

We just got our Turquoise Green Ceek Conure there. She is 3 month old and hand fed. She is the most tame and social bird I ever had. Very healthy, very human oriented, no picky eater.
The nursery was clean, the staff friendly and knowledgable. To handle the baby birds we were always asked to disinfect our hands before and after handling.
They have a good selection of high quality foods at regular price. The toys are competitvely priced to compete with online purchases!
Overall a very fine bird store.
Only cons:
They clip the birds wings to dramatically, but offered a life time clip and nail trimming. They promised to clip the wings the way you wish (different cut).

Not sure what to think of this place considering it was my first time there but I was in pursuit of something particular.
–1 star for the Unilocal location being off by a few blocks. I circled the supposed block several times before resorting to searching for it on Google maps.
–1 star for not having Rainbow Lories! At first I was disappointed because they presently had none in their store, but apparently they won’t accept lories :(

I am very happy with Bird Haven overall.
I purchased my last two birds from them, they still in good shape, happy, energetic.
I couldn’t ask for more Love from them.
I purchase all my seed from them, they’re inexpensive & they move the seed out quickly. The staff is usually friendly and helpful, knowledgeable. Threes a small man there who is outstanding at what he does and full of info on bird care (he must really like working there)
At times I have to go out of town for a week or two. The boarding is reasonable when I pick up my pet, he up spirited & happy.
Most of the time I’ve had good encounter at this store. I don’t mind say they deserve the accommodation
