Birdman Pet Shop

What an amazing local pet shop to have in the neighborhood! We have backyard chickens in Highland Park, and this is the place I will go from now on for all our organic feed needs!

This rating may or may not improve. I believe highly in customer service. If no one gives a shit or you feel like no one could give a rat’s ass that your a potential buyer of their product, then why do you want to stay. I could deal with the failed courteous «hello» or even «let me know if you have questions», but it set the tone. There were two people working feet away and the man gave me the impression of being the owner or manager.
I asked what type of finch I was looking at, got a simple answer and price. Instead if taking the opportunity to sell the bird or perhaps take 30 seconds to tell me about them and make me feel like I’m not wasting the guys time. I looked at the others then returned staring at the cage of the same finch I was interested in. Still nothing from the clerk (owner?) standing 10ft away.
I asked the age expectancy of the birds and got my two-​worded answer. Nothing else he decides was needed to add. I mean, I wasn’t in pajamas or a jerk upon entering the store but I suppose the man just didn’t feel like making money this day.
I suppose I’ll shop around at a couple places before coming back to take advantage of the very low price of exotic finch that I seen. But unless the customer service improves, the price and organization get at least a star each in this review.
***update*** Walking into Pampered Birds was like night and day compared to The Birdman. Immediately «Hello!» by woman at counter and again with a smile from the clerk waking the store. And the clerk ordered additional information when I asked a single question about finch and another bird (forgot name). I will be back for the cage. Nice selection of shapely better designed cages for my mother’s day gift to mom.

My family loves the birdman. My husband has been a loyal customer for 10 years. The owner is so very helpful and make s you feel like part of the family. we Have egg laying hen s

Mr Bird man is awesome. You can find all your needs at his shop very helpful always very kind. Blessed to have him in our community.

I have been buying bird food for my love bird and zebra finch aviaries from
the Bird Man for years. Also, fish food for my koi pond. He is a Highland Park fixture.
At the new location (near 35^th on Fig) he has lots of room for everything a pet owner would need. I support local businesses and this is a good one.
The variety of birds he has is always amazing. Much better than Petco.
It is always a pleasure to trade information on bird care with the Bird Man!

I’ve been going to the Birdman ever since I moved to Highland Park 15 years ago, long before it started gentrifying and re-​tenanters forced great mom and pop shops like the Birdman to move. I love having a local pet shop that’s so wide ranging. Over the years, my son’s pets have included mice (that we bought here), chicken, rabbits, guinea pigs (bought here), a lizard and, most recently, a dog and we have been able to find everything we need for them at the Birdman, including crickets and specialty dog foods like Orijen. The prices are really reasonable and the service is super friendly.

I always support local when I can and I am proud to say that I have been shopping here for the last 9
Years. As a local business owner I know how difficult it is to have a small business. I commend «Bird Man» for serving the North East community for more than 20 years.
The owner is friendly and helpful and I can always count on them having crickets for my Leopard Gecko or dog food
for my dogs.
