Birdman’s Exotics

I love this place. I bought a cockatiel from them around June of 2013, and she (I believe) is the cutest thing on the planet. A bit spoiled from all the attention, but eh, totally worth it! The owner was super nice in helping me choose what type of bird to get, and I’m planning on going back to get my first parrot! :D

I bought two birds from Eli (one last year and one a few months ago) and I am so happy that I did. He is so helpful, and clearly cares so much for the birds. He’s done a great job with the new store location and he’s got a lot of happy and healthy birds there. He most takes wonderful care of them. I am so lucky to have found Birdman Exotics because I have the two sweetest little birds as a result. We’re lucky to have this place in Chicago.

Just went back a year later and bought another bird from the Birdman. This time a Green Cheek Conure. New Location, even better store. Eli, the Birdman is still as knowledgeable and helpful as ever. I really can’t imagine trusting any other place for buying a bird. Birdman Exotics is, bar none, the best place to go if you want a pet bird. All the birds seem very healthy, happy, and well cared for. Check the filtered reviews on this place for the real story… 5 stars from way more people.

This is by far one of my favorite stores not just as a bird owner but as a Chicago resident. The owner, Eli, is one of the friendliest, most helpful, and most knowledgable people I’ve met and his products, food and, of course birds, are of the highest quality. Not only do I buy food, toys and treats for my two parrots here, and only here, but I’ve also experienced purchasing a baby bird here… I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I go in the store frequently just to see some of the amazing animals and talk birds :) If you’re looking for an avian companion there is no better place.

When I’m ready to have a bird friend again, I will definitely consider this shop. Birds seem well cared for. Lots of wonderful cages and many large and med sized exotics.

Eli was excellent and continues to be a great help. I recently purchased a 6mos old African Grey and I could not be happier. Porkchop is bada$$ and hilarious and I thank Birdman Exotics for that. They are friendly, affordable, knowledgeable and they enjoy what they do.

I took a bird there while bird sitting to pick up some food, toys, and get her wings clipped. Eli was so friendly, and took care of me right away. I am not a bird owner myself, but it was interesting to see some of the beautiful birds that are there. I would recommend Birdmans Exotics to anyone looking to purchase a bird, or just to stock up on bird related products.

My first time at Birdmans Exotics was a few months back at the previous location which was a lot smaller than the new one. We went to purchase a Quaker parrot now named Vinny for my godson. Vinny is now a happy and friendly bird and had no problems adapting. Eli was friendly, helpful and patient with us.
Since then we’ve purchased 2 other birds that came home yesterday. We purchased a blue Indian Ringneck, which was picked out in late February as a birthday gift to me. Eli was great with the updates throughout the weaning process. The bird came with a certificate showing the vaccinations received. Berry is coming along nicely on his 2^nd day but is still shy. The 3^rd bird is a Sun Conure named Simon which was a mothers day gift for my mother in law. This bird was friendly, playful and not scared from the moment he left. This I believe an example of the exceptional care they get at Birdmans Exotics.
I will definitely be going back and recommend this place hands down. Thanks again Eli and congrats on your new establishment.

I went to Birdman’s Exotics this week to check out his birds — I was impressed. Eli, the owner, was very helpful and knowledgeable. The variety of birds was awesome. I haven’t found a better birdstore. The prices on food are better than other petstores.
I ended up coming home with 3 birds! A green Quaker parrot and two blue ones.
The birds are hand raised and super friendly!
If you are looking for exotic birds, this is the place to go!

I just bought a pearl cocktail from Birdman’s Exotics. I’d have to admit that when i walked into this store it is not visually impressive. However, The owner was fantastic. When I told him that I was interested in cocktails he showed me where they were and next thing I know he’s passing me the hand sanitizer so i can handle it. My last cockatiel wasn’t hand fed and wasn’t to ever be handled so i wasn’t used to it at all. He was friendly and very knowledgable. He also had a great sale going on but honestly, if the bird was more money, I’d still have bought from him. I know that this is the place to go to buy a bird because the bird i just bought was obviously treated and trained right. Thank you Birdman’s Exotics!!!
