World of Birds

Do not consider the new owner a very smart business person. After purchasing my bird 3 years ago with the previous owner and boarding her there several times I was a happy customer. My last experience with this new owner has made me rethink ever bringing my business to her. I made arrangements to pick up my bird on a Sunday, after researching when they open on Sunday I arrived 5 minutes before 11 as indicated on all their web listings. At 11:35 she finally shows up and as I walk in I asked if the information on the sites were incorrect as I had been waiting for a half an hour and her only comment was «shit happens» shocked at her lack of customer service I got my bird and paid and left for good, I will not give her my business from now on with an attitude like that.

Excellent place for small birds, great selection of finches and canaries. Always clean

Really pleasant store to shop in and helpful owner, Nancy, helped us for a long time to figure out what type of bird to get. We didn’t feel pressured at all. The birds all looked healthy, and we came home with a wonderful three-​month-​old cockatiel baby. Her prices seemed very fair. She offers wing and nail clipping for the life of the bird. The store also offers boarding.

Does not keep word with customers. Bad prices on some birds, does not do what she do with her employees. We are actually thinking of taking her to small claims court over her bad business practices.

I’m a big pet person (I’ve got three cats and a bird, for goodness sake), but I don’t usually spend a ton of money on my pets. World of Birds was just so neat, organized, and inviting that I couldn’t help but indulge myself (and spoil my bird, of course). I was impressed by the amicable staff, health of the birds, and wide selection of bird food, treats, and toys. We found a really neat bamboo «kabob» that my bird is going to love! We also saw several other things that were fun and very reasonably priced. I also learned that they offer boarding for much less than I’ve seen listed at other bird stores (definite win in my book!). We’ll be back again!

I’ve only been here once, but they always have a huge booth at the annual Rocky Mountain Society of Aviculture show in November. I found the store to be clean and well-​stocked, though a bit on the expensive side.
Their variety of finches and other softbills can’t be beat. Years ago, just about every petstore carried a wide variety of finches (not just zebras and societies). Now World of Birds is about the only shop dedicated to finches, some of which I haven’t seen in 10 or 15 years or more. I even saw some black and white mannikins — little «pitbulls» I bred many years ago. (Supposedly I was the first in Colorado to successfully breed them!) Even saw a Pekin robin, though it was about 400 times pricier than the last time I owned them a million years ago when I could afford them.
They carry less-​than-​common hookbills too. A customer at Bird Brain was buying a cage for a hawkhead baby she just purchased from World of Birds. Wish I could have seen the baby!
I am not a fan of pet stores. I’m paranoid about bringing problems home to MY birds. But I didn’t feel the need to run into the shower the moment I got home after visiting this store. For me, that’s the highest compliment possible.
