I am all about supporting my local businesses over the big guys such as Petco or Petsmart. I have gone here since I was young, and always tried to spend all my $$$ for pets at this store if I could help it, until last year. I had recently been interested in birds, and while I was there I decided to go look at them. In one of the back rooms (they have windows so you can see into them) we saw at least 4 or 5 macaws in 1 SMALL cage that was barely taller than the birds themselves. They also couldn't move and inch forward, backward, or to either side. It looked like something you see on those hoarder shows. I would never have even put ONE bird in that cage, let alone 4 or more. Not to mention their big curbside garbage can that is always full of dead fish, that they don't put out of the customers sight. I just can't go there anymore and support animals being treated like that. I have loved this place since I was young, and they do have knowlegable (usually friendly) staff. Unfortunately, I will take my business elsewhere until I can find another local business to support.
