Adventures In Birds

What would we do without the birds that wake us up in the mornings and close the dusk with song.
Adventure in Birds gets that.
The problem is the neglected birds are confined to a back room incarceration.
Animal abuse comes in all forms.
Even the smallest parakeet, canary or finch has a beating heart and long for a human companion. Their voices are small compared to our beloved pup’s bark or cat’s cry.
The owner has a pet pig/​adorable/​loving.
She admitted she got him because two Musleim men came in and only wanted a man to wait on them. I would have gone ballistic. She got a pig.

The older gentlemen that works here is totally cool and nice to speak to, but the older woman (i think shes the owner) is very rude omg. Like calm down lady! im giving you my business, she makes the customer feel like a burden. If you ask a simple question she makes you feel stupid for asking it. She has an attitude for no reason. I think its great that they rescue birds and a different array of animals but they seriously need to work on their customer service. its very distasteful.

Doesn’t seem like staff and owner is too friendly here. I frequent this place for Gouldian supplies and avian medication. Always love going to the back to look at all the arrays of birds and finches. If they can be more friendlier, sociable, or even helpful since they are a dying breed of a specialty store — they might actually attract people and gain loyalty.

Love it here! Bird and kitty heaven… And way happier, more humane than the zoo! Gene should change an entry fee because this place is a RIDE! Great selection of bird toys, treats, seed, perches– everything a bird needs and wants. They will clip the end of our African Grey’s wings for $ 10. We love her and don’t want her to get spooked and fly into the fan or out the front door.

We bought our cockatiel here 8 years ago for my 11 year old son. It has the been a great friend to a quiet middle schooler and on through high school. He was hand feed so the bird sits on his shoulder and has done homework and listened to the worlds problems of a kid. My son goes to college but the bird will stay at home with me. They are fantastic pets thanks to this wonderful place. We had seen one before we bought this one that was at Petsmart but it wasnt hand feed and bit my finger so hard it drew blood. I TOTALLY recommend this shop for tame birds as pets. Keep it up! We love coming in to get our wings and nails trimmed and a mexican Coke!

They rescue a lot of animals here. They have so many birds, it’s crazy. I bought my albino cockatiel here about a year ago that was hand fed. They clip wings and nails too. It’s pretty cool

Another Unilocalster said it 100% accurate, the yelling and screaming that occurred when I walked in this place made me back my butt right out of the door, there is some bad mojo going on. Birds squawk, what I encountered was not friendly or encouraging discussions. Who needs it.

Very helpful and knowledgeable! I contacted Adventures in Birds when I found out that they had a rare bird that I had a hard time finding at home in Seattle. After interviewing Jean on the phone, I was confident in her knowledge and expertise, enough so to coordinate a trip to Houston to look at the bird and possibly bring it back with me the next day. All of the staff were extraordinarily helpful in assisting me with my itinerary and coordinating the necessary steps and stops involved in meeting and getting to know the bird, picking it up the next day, taking it to their recommended avian vet in Sugarland (A B C, which was also terrific) to make sure it was ok to fly in the plane, and hopping the plane with it back to Seattle, all while making the bird’s extraordinary day of travel as comfortable as possible on our little avian buddy.
Once I was back in Seattle, we saw my own avian vet for a full blood workup and crop culture and checked out all clear.
One thing that impressed me about Adventures in Birds is that Jean and the staff insisted that I meet the bird before making any decisions – Jean said it was important to her that the bird be in a home that was a good fit (which is one sign of a good shop). I was also nosed around when I was there and I was pleased to see that they carried all of the «top shelf» bird foods that I am familiar with, which always makes me feel more confident in an avian pet store. Thanks, Jean and staff! BTW –Boo says «hi!»

A great place for buying and supporting any kind of bird. I bought a cockatiel for my son that was bred there, and it has been a delight. They can groom your bird and have an extensive collection of food and accessories. The owners and staff are knowledgable and low pressure sales.

I was going to write a review but then I saw Cherie A.‘s review in the right column, dated 1÷9÷2011. I would just say «ditto» to everything she said, with the added comment that I came in with my sister, who is mentally disabled, and I felt like they — and an older Anglo woman in particular — treated her with an extra degree of disrespect. Fortunately, my sister was so excited about getting her parakeet that she didn’t notice, but I did and I didn’t appreciate it.

Have been in here to look for wild bird seed and feeders on two occasions. Felt like I either walked in on an argument or as if my presence there really annoyed them. Wouldn’t speak to me when I greeted them and I was the only customer in the store. Thought they were trying to close up shop for the day but I went in the middle of their hours of operation. Just way weird and I haven’t gone back.

Cool store. Huge selection of parrot food, toys, and birds. Their aviary is like visiting a zoo. The staff, mainly Gary and Jean, are very knowledgable and easy to talk to.
There are only a couple of bird stores in Houston, and this one offers a unique experience.
On a side note, Jean, the owner, also heads up her own animal rescue organization titled Spring Branch Animal and Bird Sanctuary. She takes in «discarded» animals, gets them veterinary treatment if needed, and finds them homes. It’s an admirable venture.

I had said in another review that Niko Niko’s is the one thing I look forward to when forced to evacuate New Orleans for hurricanes. I lied, there are two things!
Adventures in Birds is another guilty pleasure when forced out of NOLA to Houston. This is the greatest bird store I have ever seen! We just kinda of stumbled upon it when evacuated from Katrina and was quickly back there when Gustav took me back to Houston.
Not only is the staff super friendly and the store well stocked with everything you could need for your feathered friends but they have an amazing selection of birds available to join your flock. I would never buy a bird from one of those «pet super stores» (I would only get a bird from a breeder) but, Adventures in Birds breeds many of their own birds (you can see them in the incubators!) and they have a great selection. There are 100s of birds in their bird room.
Just going to see all the birds is great. I have seen a lot of birds in my days but they always seem to have something I have never seen. If you are in the area and are looking for anything for your bird or looking to purchase a bird, I would highly recommend that you visit Adventures in Birds. I only wish we had one here in New Orleans!
