Has anyone in the Baltimore MD place been to or heard of this store?

I was going to stop by one day on my way to school in Columbia, but I'm a bit turned off by their website. All I see is general information, no actual descriptions or pictures, and I don't like that they'll trade a bird for whatever random crap they're looking for. At least thats how it comes off. If its not like that though, I'd love to know.

Anyone been? It's called Parrots Plus Inc

PARROTS PLUS INC.

Generally I do not like the Glen Bernie area. Lots of crime and crowds. I have never heard of the store and no others talking about it. Long drive for you.

Yeah it is a decent haul, but I go down that way once a week, well not quite that far east though. Maybe one day if I have to go to the airport I'll swing by just to take a look. I wish we had parrot stores closer to where I live, I found a few old places on google but they're all shut down.

Yes I have been there, I was very disappointed~ The cages were crowded with birds and filthy, the shop very small ,the merchadise had dust all over it....I'm going to head up to Bird Paradise in NJ soon!

I went there once, and I haven't gone back because it makes me sad. I wasn't crazy about it for the same reason Triordan was.... I just feel sad thinking about it. I was the only person there, and it just felt like a dying business (and I can't help but wonder what happens when a business that sells animals goes out of business.) The cages were overcrowded in a hot room. The birds are hand raised, but I felt so sad seeing beautiful macaws with broken tails in small cages.

I wouldn't go out of your way for it, unless you're heading to House of Tropicals, the awesome aquarium store down the street.

Thanks guys. That's what I thought it would be. Just their website alone made it sound like all they were interested in was money.

And I LOVE Bird Paradise NJ, I use to live 10 minutes from there. One day I will make the trip, I mean its only like an hour, hour and a half. I just need another reason to go to make it a full day.

We could play with birds all day! Wouldn't that be nice? :( I'd want to keep them all.

So sad that a bird store is setting such bad examples for potential new owners. People who don't know any better will think this is how they should take care of their bird. No wonder we have people putting amazons into cockatiel cages and what not. If they see this in pet stores they think it's ok.

I got Rowdy from a pet store and she was in this little acrylic cube that was like 12" in each dimension.
