Great pet store that specializes in birds. I bought a baby conure from here and he’s very healthy and happy. They offer $30 DNA tests for baby birds and $5 grooming for birds on Sundays/Mondays. I’ve gotten both services for my conure and can’t complain. The staff is extremely knowledgable and can answer any questions you might have. They do get busy so don’t be afraid to grab a staff member and tell them what you need. Their food and toy selections are also extensive. They also sell dog/cat food, etc., but its primary focus is on our feathered friends 🙂

I got the sweetest, most tame han-fed blue crowned conure from here. She is an absolute angel and came to me in perfect health! The staff are great and answer any questions you may have. I would definitely recommend getting your pet bird from here if you can!

I only have great things to say about this shop. I have frequented Hansen Parrots over the last couple years. I recently made the decision to purchase a bird. The staff were very helpful and helped me pick out a baby conure that met my wants and needs. They allowed me to handle her several times before making the decision to purchase her. They also helped me pick out the right size cage, gave me recommendations for toys, and made a special mix (they have bulk bins of bird foods) just for her. You really need to visit this place!

I have a beautiful blue crowned conure. I was going on vacation for a week, and the staff offered to keep her until I returned. Once I returned, she had a small injury to her foot, and again they offered to keep her until she was fully healed. They obviously care so much for their birds and want to ensure a smooth transition for both pet and owner. This will be my first bird, and I’m confident I will be able to take care of her due to help and advice from Hansen Parrots. I received such personal service, which is rare nowadays. Thanks!

We love this pet site. They have a very friendly staff and adorable colorful birds. Prices are very competitive with other pet stores and most times lower. This is our “go to” store for birds needs. Our little baby blue crowned conure is the cutest and we love him so much. Than you Hansen!
Piere T –
I love this pet site with all my heart! The two women I have interacted with that work here have always been very helpful and friendly. They answered all my questions about the birds which showed me they were actually knowledgeable in the parrots they are selling, unlike some other pet stores I’ve visited in this area. I give them 5 stars because they deserve it!

Great place to get a pet bird if you are in the market for one. Hansen Parrots staff cares greatly for their animals and one can tell by just walking up to a cage and seeing birds lean in for scritches. The babies are hand fed with love and the staff especially Melanie knows the birds intimately with all their little personalities and quirks. I am grateful for everything!!!!!
Meg W –
I cannot believe it took me this long to find this site. The owner is exceptionally knowledgeable about his pet birds. He has everything I need for my feathered friends.
Marvin G –
My blue crowned conure is beautiful and very healthy. I would recommend them to everyone! Hansen and Melanie are very warm, friendly and eager to share any info that you might need. I also love that when you walk in the door no one is jumping down on you and hovering over you. They give you the space to explore. Great store with sweet birds!
Ashley F –
Adding a Blue Crowned Conure to our family & they were so warm & helpful! Very reasonable prices & so many great quality options for the colorful bird. Just enough choices all around to cater to your pet’s needs! The sweet woman even helped me take everything to my car! We will definitely be back for all our future feathered friend(s) shopping!

The owner and her employees are super awesome. It is a well maintained cozy little store. I only came in to get some pellets for my feathered friend. A pretty good price. If I am in the area, I will definitely drop by again. Great Job!!!

Hansen is extremely knowledgeable and happy to share his wisdom. Thank you so much! I will be coming here for all my bird needs for years to come!

If you are buying a baby bird, they can’t go home with you until they are weaned, but you can come in and bond and play with them until they are old enough to go home with you. I think this is incredibly smart as the bird gets all the care and socialization it needs in it’s tender age and also gets to know the owner so it is less stressed when it goes home. They also have a great array of toys and bird food as well as stuff for cats and dogs as needed. Definitely come in and drop by for a visit and give this little gem a go!

I brought home a baby Blue Crowned Conure last December. My baby is a sweetheart with some attitude. He loves head scratches! He comes when called too, but the boy does not like to land on my arm. He likes my head! He flies to me first thing in the morning! My mom likes to think he’s like my little shadow. Avi even likes eating with me! If I have something in my hand that he’s interested in, he comes over instantly and tries to take a bite! I’m really happy to have him. I hope to have him with me for the next 15 or so years! Thanks Hansen Parrots for my little baby!

I really love this place! Hansen is always there when i have a question for him. He’s very informative! I highly recommend this breeder.

I love this store, and I especially love Hansen the Bird Guy. He was compassionate and reassuring us that we will get our blue crowned conure, and has been helpful and encouraging in our decision to get another one. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and you can tell that he devotes so much care and attention to those birds. 5 stars for super friendly, informative, helpful, a vast selection of birds.

Hansen Parrots is a great place. I came here with my girlfriend looking for a pet and went home with an adorable little blue crowned conure bird! As soon as we message them, we were contacted. Moreover, you can tell that the people that work in this place are very knowledgeable and passionate about parrots. I recommend this pet shop to anyone!
Maverick A –
I have two blue crowned conure parrots from here, both hand fed and hand raised. They are wonderful and well adjusted. I took plenty of time to read about my birds, and work with them slowly. Things happen. Toes get caught, they fall, they bite – but I can’t blame someone else when I took responsibility. I recommend this breeder 100%
Malachi T –
I can tell you that Hansen gives all of his birds love, respect, and attention. He is one of the smartest bird guys I know. Hansen keep up the good work. Don’t let no one get you down. Incredible place!

I got a blue crowned conure, still hand-feeding or just weaned. I am an avian specialist and had to re-home all of my pets for chemo, surgeries, radiation, etc. I am anxious to get another conure for my personal companion pet. Thanks All
Richard K –
Pretty nice customer service which isn’t something I can say about other shops that like to ignore me rather than help. The other thing that I noticed is that all the workers are all happy, friendly and relaxed. That speaks volumes to me. I highly recommend this place!
Eric B –
I love coming here, not just for the adorable birds but for conures and the birds. I adopted a few Blue Crowned Conures. They were super helpful and I was able to get everything I needed for my family. Thank you
Anja Kel –
We bought a blue crown conure from this site and we love her so much. We didn’t expect her to be so tame but because the owners hand feeds the babies they are very social. Very happy with our purchase and the owners!
Zena B –
Robert is super friendly and very knowledgeable. He is always there to help customers with any questions or if you just want to talk about birds. We bought our birdie for less than half the price of other pet shops. Food, toys, and cages too. It’s obvious he’s a bird lover and the birds seem very happy and healthy. They are well taken care of. I appreciate this business.

I love this place. They have everything we need when it comes to pet birds, to knowledge for our lovely blue crowned conures. Staff is always very nice and helpful. Thank you guys!

Hansen Parrots is the place to go! This is not a trendy boutique with 15 items for sale. This is a cram-packed, well ordered pet owners market that has the best prices and the kindest approach to retail you can get!!! Come shop at a store that makes supporting your local small businesses a no-brainer, win win win situation.
Philip B –
I stopped by looking for bird food but they had one can left and it’s the only brand that doesn’t make my baby sick. Another brand was recommended and she loved it!
Yvette H –
We got our baby blue crowned conure from Hansen Parrots and she is a beautiful diamond to my family. We love the bird so very much that we carry her everywhere we go. I will definitely be back soon to get another one. The staff was warm, friendly and helpful. Thank you!
Olga T –
We had a nightmare getting a bird from this guys. Our 5 months old conure died days after we got him from Hansen Parrots! We were so sad and heart broken but there is nothing more we can do. Please, make sure you check the birds’ health conditions before you sell them to customers.
Elaine D –
For sure they love the animals. When I arrived here, i wanted a pet, I ran in to this oasis of kindness, they love animals, they take care of by calling them by name. They don’t sell you animal if they are not sure you will take it seriously. Keri is a blue crowned conure with high personality,
I travel a lot and this has been my go-to place for all my avian needs, seed, boarding e I’ve never been disappointed.
Friendly and knowledgeable employees. Thanks to Hansen Parrots from Keri and I.

A friend who lives in nearby with a cranky parrot has talked highly of this store. An unexpected sudden trip necessitated my blue crowned conure nails and wings clipped to be accepted for boarding at a friends’ place or commercial boarding caused me to call Hansen, the owner as my usual local spot was unable to help in the short time I had before departure. He had no appointments for two days. I thanked him and was literally moving to hang up my phone when his voice came back at me “Wait a minute. What’s your number. Let me see what I can do.” There must have been disappointment in my voice, I guess. Minutes later, the phone rang and he offered to complete these tasks right away. 45 minutes later I was in the store. Delightful warm and friendly staff, clean and well-stocked shelves. He even offered to board my bird if things didn’t work out with my boarding arrangements. It doesn’t get better than this. I will be back soon…
