Went to get a parakeet for my little brother and was told the birds had been hand fed and raised, but they were just a little shy and needed some time to be reintroduced to human hands. What a lie! That bird had never been handled in her life. She bit viciously and refused to eat or drink, she became dehydrated within two days and we had to take her back. The staff at Petland were SO RUDE! They demanded to know why we were returning her, then went and yelled at the guy who gave us the misinformation (it was true, they had not been hand raised), and then THAT guy came up to the counter to snap at us and ripped the bird out of our hands to throw it back in the cage with the rest of the parakeets.
Horrible customer service, and terribly overpriced. They had tons of puppy mill puppies in tiny cages stacked along the walls, and a beautiful Goffin Cockatoo that they wanted $1700, which is more than twice the going rate for Goffins. Will never go back there, don't bother wasting your time or money going to Petland.
