OMG..this is the same store back in 2002 when I was in San Diego getting my Illiger's macaw Diego. I flew out to San Diego and stayed with his breeder for 4 days as we became really good friends. She took me to "Bird Crazy" twice before I went back home and I really enjoyed seeing the type of parrots and birds I have never seen before. I bought some toy parts from that store back then that were not available back home.
This makes me feel really sad. Almost depressed. So many memories of my adventure of getting my Illiger's macaw and now all of them are gone. I have not been able to find my friend for many years, Diego died of a stroke June 2011 and now Bird Crazy is closing for good.
I feel like I have been sucker punched. I feel like I have lost everything that was attached to Diego along with losing my beloved companion.
