Our Feathered Friends

I’ve been taking my birds here for boarding for years. I know they are well fed and cared for and the empolyees know the birds by name when I walk in the store! Best selection of goodies for my birds so I will always grab them a little treat when dropping them off for the boarding. A fun place to walk around, see the new babies and all the cool new items for the feathered friends!

Just wanted to update my review on this place. We have gone here almost weekly for the past four years and it can’t be replaced. We have bought three birds here, bringing our total to six. When we go out of town this is the only place I would really feel comfortable leaving them. The entire staff is so sweet and knowledgable. They’re not just random pet store workers– they are bird people themselves, and genuinely care about the birds. I have been in the room the birds stay when they are being watched and it is clean and bright. They receive fresh food and fruits/​veggies daily. The birds who are for sale are also in a very clean room with lots of light and if you want to see one the staff will happily get him out. The toy and cage selection is huge. I love this place and can’t recommend it enough.

I don’t have a bird, or any interest in getting one, but I went to Our Feathered Friends seeking advice about a neighbor who has the world’s loudest and most annoying Cockatoo and Macaw. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.

I have brought my birds for boarding here over a decade now. Rio has since passed on, but Gracie, a blue head pionus gets very excited to stay. It’s her vacation, while we go have ours! I buy everything for her here! Excellent and diverse choices, excellent quality, fun and knowledgeable staff! Clean store and sunny boarding rooms. I drive 30 minutes or more to shop here or drop off Gracie. Love this place!!! You will TOO

I have mixed feelings about this place. There is a good selection of food and toys. They also have a decent variety of birds — although some of the cages seemed poorly maintained.
After picking up a few items for my bird, my friend and I stopped in the bird room. He was playing with a caique, which was out of its cage on a perch. We were both impressed with how friendly and calm the caique was. He went to take a picture of the bird for a mutual friend who has been looking for a caique for a while.
As he took the picture, an employee rushed in and said, «Pictures are $ 10» before going to answer the phone. I’m not sure if this was an actual policy or a joke, but it wasn’t funny. I won’t be back and I’ll not be recommending this place to our friend. I’d rather shop at a big-​box pet store chain than be insulted by employees.

Came here today for the first time. The store was very nice and clean and organized. I got my daughter a parakeet along with a cage and all accessories. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable and we are super excited about our new friend!

The staff here are clearly passionate about birds. They are knowledgeable and willing to talk you through any (bird) issues you have at home. There’s a huge amount of seed and pellet selections, toys, cages, and perches. There are also a variety of birds available as pets in a special room where you can meet and interact with many of them. The staff also performs some services for your birds such as talon clipping/​filing, wing clipping, boarding, etc.

This is a great place to purchase all of your parrot wants and needs! Great selection of cages to perches, parrots/​birds to toys! The store is very clean and organized well. The birds for purchase are in their own, tranquil room with a water fountain.
Love this place and will be coming back!

I’ve visited bird stores throughout this country for countless years and have never seen such an immaculate store! This place is phenomenal! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Very gentle and kind with all the birds. I’m very very impressed. Great place to pick up an awesome family pet.

Excellent store. The staff here is very nice and friendly. I went in yesterday and got the cutest parrotlet. Michelle and Manny wee very informative, patient, helpful, and caring. The selection of birds is great. They have everything you need from cages to toys to vitamins. I highly recommend this store. It is also very clean!!!

I have been going to Our Feathered Friends for over 10 years! It is so nice to have a bird-​specific pet store, instead of going to brand-​name places where the bird aisle is so pitiful. The staff is ALWAYS so lovely and knowledgeable about their birds, toys, and food. Their parking is very accessible via the garage below.
There isn’t much more I can say than this is the place for all your bird needs!

What a place! It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of bird stuff this place has. My wife and I went in knowing we wanted a bird of some kind but weren’t sure what kind. The lady who helped us was so kind and made the whole experience a pleasure. We were deliberating on whether to get a conure or a cockatiel and the lady gave us time with the birds to see which one we liked and private time so we could discuss which one was a better fit for us. I will only come here from now on for anything I need bird related.

My daughter bought a conure here about a year ago. They are very friendly, knowledgable, and patient. She is a first time bird owner. The have a great support policy, lifetime nails and wing cutting. She could spend hours just hanging out playing with different birds and they would let her. Highly recommend.

Love it! They have everything a bird needs and a great price for food! Also, you can really tell they care about the health and happiness of the birds! I love visiting and getting things to spoil my cockatiels (and parakeet) with!

Sunny loves playdates here! Good birdie friends and she gets spoiled. She doesn’t even miss home while we are away. The food and supplies are nice and reasonable. Fresh seed! Love this birdie haven!

This store always has a fair amount of supplies, toys, perches, and really anything you might need for your pet birds! There always is a fair selection of live birds available for purchase as well.
One major benefit of this store is that it’s located very central in mission valley and right next to a farmers market!
If I wore to improve anything in this store it might be to increase the number of employees since at times or can be a small wait to either check out or get your bird groomed. They have boarding there as well but I’m never a fan of boarding your parrot at any strange place, especially a bird store. No sure the bird will get much attention while you are away on vacation. I’d much rather select an avian vet clinic.

Birdie paradise! I loved it for my bird. They clipped her wings and nails. It was fast. The employee’s were very knowledgeable, and they gave me some helpful tips on training my bird. Loved all the variety of supplies they have. I will continue to go there for all my bird supplies.

Based on a friend’s recommendation, I came in to look at the cockatiels here, as I’m seriously contemplating one. The location was a little hard to find at first — mostly because it’s an immediate turn off of Riverdale from Friars. The building does have an enormous sign on both sides, though, so that made it convenient. There’s lots of street parking as well as some spots in the underground garage. A+ for the clear and abundant signs to direct you.
The store is huge and has a wide variety of supplies: cages, food, treats, toys, grooming tools, books. Then there’s the bird room itself, full of different species of parrots. There’s mostly the common ones, so if you want something truly exotic, you might need to search elsewhere. The birds all appeared to be well cared for, with as clean of cages as you can get with parrots. (They’re so messy, it’s impossible for every cage to be immaculate.)
Both Daniel and Raphael were very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They answered my many questions and gave me handling pointers. I was not rushed or pushed for a sale. In fact, they highly encouraged me to spend as much time as I wanted with individual birds to get to know them, as well as to come back in the future to hang out with them.
While I didn’t end up buying anything today, I will most certainly be back in the future. The customer service alone is well worth it.

Still come to this store and still love this place. Even though my birds aren’t huge fans of their *ahem* «pedicures» they still have great prices and afterwards my birds are totally fine. :)
I don’t know who the owner is, but we (hubby and I) just love the guy who we think is either from Austria or Germany, who sweet talks our birds, I think it’s adorable! :)
The bird room is great, noisy, but great! If I had more money I’d be taking more of their birds home with me (and probably be known as the crazy bird lady).
My birds are fully flighted so I do bring them in a small cage so they can be trimmed in the bird room and then brought back out without having to worry about them flying around in any sort of fear because it can be an overwhelming place for a skittish bird. I do recommend bringing your bird in a cage or harness of some sort if they are fully flighted.

We’re re-​homing a parrot, so we need to learn as much as we can about them, and we have some supplies to stock up on. I was looking at cages — of course new ones are fairly expensive, but they also had two used ones in the back for very reasonable prices, that I would have bought if I’d come here first.
I checked out the store, then a german-​sounding guy whose name I can’t remember answered a bunch of my questions about enclosures and feeding and such. Seemed very knowledgeable.
They have a «sister» store in Escondido which will be more convenient for us. We will certainly be back to one or the other (or both!)
