I don't understand, I have purchased birds from Bill's, I am in the store at least once a week buying food and toys. Someone is always cleaning or feeding or just tending to the birds.I have bought 7 parrots and maybe the floor needs to be swept sometimes

but with birds the floor always needs to be swept.I find the discounts and the services are great, they always groom the birds for free, and once my bird broke a feather and was bleeding, Bill met me at the store at 11 p.m. I tried to give him some money but he wouldn't hear of it.I save a ton of $$ at that store and I was recently at Beverlys in Pembroke Pines and I paid one third of what they were asking for the same bird,that I just bought at Bill's.You should go and check it out for your self. They are always open. And let me give you a tip, always ask for a discount and the they will come down in price, and I love to haggle.

DON'T BUY!!!! HORRIBLE!!!!!

Bills Birds is probably the worst bird store on the face of the planet. The owner Bill and his son Nathan are crooks. They will tell you just what you want to hear to buy a bird from them. If you were to ever ask them how old a bird was, they would say under 1 year. If you were to ask them where they got the bird, they would say a breeder. The reality is, most of their birds are second hand birds. They are birds that have been abused and neglected and are now being sold as if they were young birds who have never had an owner. If you look at their birds, most of them are aggresive, scared to death of human interaction, and plucking their own feathers. The store is filthy and overcrowded with birds. These guys also handle their birds horribly. They have no problem grabbing a bird by the neck and just throwing them in the cage like they were meat. When handfeeding, they basically grab the baby bird, and push a full syringe of food down their throat as fast as they can. I cannot believe these people are still in business. These guys are basically bird pimps. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE listen to my warning. DO NOT BUY FROM BILL'S BIRDS!!! You are better off buying from a private breeder and getting a bird that has just been weaned. Don't even buy a canary from this place. If you don't listen and still buy from them, all I can say is: I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: Absolutely none.
• Cons: Everything about the place. These poor birds are being mistreated and abused.
