We were interested in learning more about several different kinds of birds because we have been looking in to purchasing one. We went to Cage World in Mesa and I was very impressed. The reps there were very friendly. I had my four young children with me, and the moment we walked in the door, one of the representatives walked over to us and asked my son if he'd like to hold one of the birds. He helped my son feel comfortable holding one, even though he's never been around birds before.
I found the staff to be very knowledgable about the care and background of these birds. They were super friendly and didn't mind at all answering the long list of questions I had.
I didn't purchase a bird at that time as I wanted to do some more research first. I have found that Cage World is quite pricey, but because of their service and expertise, if I do end up adding a bird to our family I could do worse than getting it from here.
