Her environment is clean, professional, experienced, and birds are healthy. The people who leave false bad reviews because you don't know how to care for birds are awful. There are many factors involved with caring for birds from vitamins, environmental air, water, temperature, attention and what you feed them. It's most likely not the breeder who had caused your birds disorders; it's what's going into and around the birds. Sissy is professional and experienced with many birds, and would never cause issues to birds. Like I said, I'm a returning customer and if the birds and Sissy weren't fantastic, then I'd be going to Petsmart instead of driving 55 miles. This breeder is 100% highly recommended; she's wonderful!

Update on my previous review. People be careful or you could get into an emotional, mental and…read morefinancial roller coaster. I hesitated to write this and postponed it for three years, using the time to educate myself and connect with avian specialists and researchers. The fabulous macaw which we adore and purchased from Sissy has an incurable condition called Avian Ganglioneuritis which is passed vertically through the egg. Lilly (Sissy) denied responsibility even though I made clear I have no requests from her part and the only reason I contacted her was to inform her so she can test the breeding pair and save future owners from going through this ordeal. We all need to come forward in order to stop the spread of this horrible virus that will eventually result into a painful death of our most beloved feathered family member. For more information watch the Lafeber webinars on the topic or talk to your avian vet.

My husband told me about some smaller bunnies he'd seen in there a few weeks ago. As I own a few New Zealand Bucks. Personally my trip in today was for a live feeder rat for my 6 year old ball python. Needless to say I saw two little bunnies behind a little girl who was sitting on a bench who actually wasnt even aware they were behind her because I asked were they hers and she said no. So then I asked the young lady at the counter could the bunnies be held or pet and she said yes. Soon as I go to pick up a bunny another lady who 1. Fails to even identify whom she is states Oh no you cant hold it, but you can pet it. So let me get this straight as a potential customer I cant hold an animal I'm potentially interested in?? So how many people go to buy a car and just purchase it right off the lot, no test drive? I'll wait... My point is every time I come into Pet Paradise I'm being told oh you can pet the bunnies or the ferrets but you cant hold them. Mind you I've seen "others," allowed to do just that. I've owned every animal mentioned previously in my 40+ years but it appears only certain people have the privilege here to actually interact with potential furbabies. Whelp they say word of mouth is the best form of marketing so figured I'd put the word out because it's a reoccurring theme I'm quite tired of and figured I'd let folks know about the fickle behavior of oh peep this the supposed manager who "Can Do what she wants," as I was told by the young lady behind the counter. Now last I checked a manager wasnt the owner but hey what do I know? I just need to find a better pet store with similar or BETTER options closer to me in Suffolk. Nobody buys cars without test driving, nobody adopts a dog without interacting, so why am I limited to petting a rabbit only and not holding it, but told oh you can hold it if your intentions is to buy one by the young lady behind the counter.. whew I could say so much but trust me I dont think I have to.

The staff was so friendly. They greeted me and let me browse. I did ask if there was a dedicated section for cats and dogs. She replied for the most part cats on one side, dogs on another. I will definitely be back. I liked the collars they had for cats. Pricing is comparable to big box companies online. I plan to try out different brand of foods they offer as well.

Come to find that the cage I bought for $230 (I have a receipt) was missing operational wheels, two to three bowls, and two grates. It is the absence of one of the grates that makes it troublesome, as I miss either the top grate to hang yours or the bottom that prevents the bird from contact with their poop. The bowls are missing (fine I'll deal), it was a mess when I received it, the drawer is bent, and they are impossible to reach. I tried to reach them, sent them a message which was really chill, but they didn't respond. This is in response to being ghosted. Thank you.

We headed there later that week to go shop for my birthday and Mother's Day gift. This is the place to go for all things birds and bird watching! When we arrived parking was perfect. Birds were already out there flapping around and tweeting away. When I walked in I went walking around. Then Neala came and helped me. She was so nice. She helped explain the feeders and feed. Michelle was also great. She helped explain the pole system and what certain birds are attracted too. Everyone was extremely helpful! They were all willing to help, even carrying stuff to our car. Pricing was actually pretty reasonable. The seed is as well. I did join their program for $25 but, there was a free gift which I opted for bird seed. I also joined their texting services and got a free 2 pound bag. At the checkout I pretty much almost cried because having all this made me so happy. I sit outside so much and enjoy my bird feeder set up. I have a cardinal who was coming by before my big set up. I took it as a sign that it is my father who passed away 10 months ago. Once I got the set up complete with a bird house that has a blue roof (blue was my dad's favorite color), the cardinal came around so much more. We named it Pappy after my dad. It nice to sit in the backyard. Thank you to everyone who helped us. Since the first time I went, I have already been back once. I'm hooked!
