Pete's Bird Garden

The owner is very nice and honest man and the prices are reasonable

From the moment I spoke with Pete on the phone, I knew this man is an honest man! I explained to him how I believed I purchased a male Red Factor from Paterson Bird Store only to realize a few months later that I was sold a female instead. I called Paterson Bird store, the store where I purchased my canary, only to be told I had 30-days for a return or exchange. I was beyond the return period! I explained that some male canary's do not sing within 30 days. I've heard of some male canary's have taken a year to begin singing. So, being a patient man I waited, and waited, until a family member made a comment: 'maybe 'he' is not a male, but a female?? And, in any case, they made a terrible mistake, and should do the right thing in making good on their mistake.' Holy moly! Could Paterson Bird store be that terrible in their inability in identifying a male from a female canary?? They must be!!! Pete listened and said: 'come on down! I can help!' I drove over by his store, met a gentleman who showed me a strong 'singer', and offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. Paterson Bird store sells canary's for $200. Pete sells his for $90. When Pete heard this, he placed his hand to his forehead and yelled "Oh my God! Listen, I'll exchange your canary for mine. You pay me $60, and I'll discount you $30. Deal??' I said: 'DEAL !' This is what Paterson Bird store should've done, instead of giving me a run-around with their stupid 30-day policy! Thank you, Pete! You've got a customer for life!

Pete is a very pleasant and polite owner of this business. As soon as I stepped into his store, his absolutely delightful feathery friends welcomed us with their chirping and whistling. So many different types of birds! Pete has owned the business for over 40 years! I mean, if that doesn't convince you that this man is trustworthy then I don't know what else. The store was simple, nothing aesthetic about it. However, Pete's expertise is what impresses you. Pete was approachable, attentive, and eager to share his knowledge and suggestions. I also was able to look around, peruse, until I was ready! It was as if Pete was letting the birds introduce themselves to me and my family! We walked out with two parakeets, a bird cage, bird food, and other accessories. (Pete only sells fresh food, by the pound.) Pete also will trim the birds beak, wings and nails if you need that type of service.

I just bought 2 canaries, a cage and everything else that was needed. Extremely happy and the owner was amazing. He would not sell you something you did not need. I am looking forward to go there again. I have been to quite few bird places but no one helps the customer better than the owner of this store. Thank you. You made our day 🦜🦜

Just want to share my experience. We bought a baby cockatiel (almost 3 months old) last year in May 2024. A couple months later, the cockatiel was sitting on the floor most of the time. He also had watery feces. We are not sure how he got sick but we think he had poor genetics. We brought him back to the petstore and the young man (Owner’s son?) said not to worry about it as it is common for Cockatiels to get a stomach bug during the summer. He gave us antibiotic pills to put in his water. A week later the cockatiel died. I am still very upset and wish I had taken him to the vet instead.
