「I Love Amazon Jungle! All photos posted are birds from this amazing pet store. I can't say enough wonderful things about the owner and staff. It is a blessing and a curse that I don't live closer!」
「So after visiting the store for years for small items I finally got a yellow naped Amazon parrot! I looked at so many rescues and when we stopped by to visit I asked them if they knew of any birds in my budget and we got lucky they had some birds that were surrendered. They had them vet checked before and we couldn't be happier. If you like animals just go visit it's a better time than going to a zoo! Every enclosure is clean and so are the animals. They are all healthy and happy . Both myself and baby bird got so lucky that day ! Thanks so much to the owner and everyone who works there !!」
「Great store with great staff. Folks are nice and clearly passionate about animals, herp habitats were of a good size and set up well. Prices much better than chains, animals in far better condition. Come support local!」
「Very nice place to see and encounter with the birds. Staff was great. Definitely recommended it for any exotic pet needs. Turtles, spider, snakes, and plenty of exotic birds to choose from」
「I went to Amazon Jungle many years ago and it was just an ok bird store to me back then. It was the older building they were in and I just remember it being ok. Nothing bad, just felt cluttered and outdated. Like this was well over 20 years ago. Today I decided to stop in to see if they have lorikeet food for my Venezuelan Troupial. They had that and more. Beautiful "new" store (it's new to me). The birds looked so healthy and clean. The avairy is such a nice touch and a great way to socialize their young parrots. Food selection was great! Reptiles and fish also had a nice selection! I will definitely be back!」
