Lee is literally an angel.
Besides the fact that he is the…read moreonly reliable, ethical and professional breeder in the Coachella Valley, he is also just a genuine lover of birds,
Especially our parrot friends!
Unlike pet stores that buy their baby birds from huge bird mills,
Lee treats every bird as if they were his own up until time to hand them over to their new mama or Papa .
Of all the many places that I have gotten cockatiels, the two that I have now are the sweetest most talkative that I have ever owned. I had a friend come in from New Jersey a couple weeks ago, and she has had literally 30 birds at once, all parrots. She also has her college degree in zoology or some other degree that I can't remember that specializes in birds?
And she was impressed with the level of love, affection, and attention that my cockatiels want all the time. That is not always the case with this type of bird.
When you have to go out of town, it's not as easy as leaving a dog with one of your best friends.
Unless someone is a bird person, they are either reluctant or I am reluctant to leave my BIRDS with them because I know that it's a whole other process to babysit my babies .
Thank God for Lee and his inexpensive, boarding services.
If you request it, he will have your bird with wings clipped, nails trimmed, beak trimmed whatever you need by the time you come back to pick up your feathered friend.
I know there are a lot "pet sitters" that advertise that they will watch your bird in their home, but buyer beware. I have heard horror stories of how they let the bird out of the cage and the bird flies out an open window or a cat or a child. has hurt the bird. One thing I love about the new location where Lee is at, it is super secure with double door type protection, and he does not even allow customers to play or visit with your birds that he is watching for you, for their safety.
I also love that it's a family business and you see his kids running around and learning the business.
And although it's a smaller store, it's plenty adequate to display tons of toys, snacks, high-quality seed and pellets as well as my favorite part, he always has BIRDS for sale , and is always working on his next set of babies.
Not to mention, but to my knowledge, he is the only person anywhere close to here that sells something called a helicopter parakeet .
I'm about three or four weeks away from moving into my new home, and I've built a little indoor Avery so my birds can jump around and feel free and not be in their cage as much when I'm gone, and I plan on adding one of these beautiful little parakeets to my collection.
And I'd like one more medium size parrot, about the size of my green cheek Connor, but a little bigger.
He has these cockatoos with the most breathtaking rose colored heads and feathers.
Every time I go in there, I see some new type of parrot that I've not seen before, or some coloring on a cockatiel that I've never seen and it's just a wonderful experience.
The only problem is he could use more help , lolololol. Because there's annoying people like me that just wanna sit and look at every single bird for sale, and ask 10,000 questions while he's trying to do grooming, daily feed and care of his birds and help customers who are actually purchasing things!
He is always so straightforward, his prices are incredibly fair, even less expensive than magnolia bird farms in Riverside, which is quite a hike to get to, and many of their birds are not hand trained despite what they try to tell you .
Don't be deceived by people who say oh I hand raised this bird .
Taking a baby bird away from its mother and just simply feeding it with your hand is a far cry from actually raising a bird to want to trust and love humans .
Lee has certainly mastered that art.
Please go by and support him today, we would be in a lot of trouble if we lost EXOTIC BIRDS UNLIMITED
