I was recently searching for a website for Bird Paradise and came across a
couple of comments regarding signs which were posted at Todd Marcus Birds
Exotic about Bird Paradise. I feel the need to come to the defense of Bird
Paradise. Bird Paradise is a beautiful store; their birds are extremely
healthy and the store is spotless. The employees there are extremely
helpful and know a lot about birds. I was sickened by the attitude of the
employees at Birds Exotic. It seemed to me that they were trying to make
the general public think that the birds at Bird Paradise were sick. They
are anything but. Bird Paradise has their birds on a really good diet and
you can tell they spend a lot of money on nutrition. The feathers of the
birds at Bird Paradise are shiny and they are all happy, healthy and well
adjusted. It looks like this Birds Exotic place only cares about money and
is trying to make the other store look bad. They have signs in their
windows about Bird Paradise and an article about Psittacosis next to it
that gives you the impression the store is infected. I think it is a
really low tactic by Todd Marcus Birds Exotic. I will NEVER shop at Birds
Exotic again. ISN'T IT ALL ABOUT THE BIRDS? Obviously not at some stores.
Thank you for allowing me to vent. - JC

I have always found the staff at Birds Exotic to be the most friendly and
helpful. Especially Todd when he is there. In fact he has always provided my
wife and I with tremendous help when we asked our "stupid" questions.
I can't blame Birds Exotic for posting those notices on their doors. Even
Shultz's Bird Farm in Langhorne, PA posted a notice about it. I doubt it is
money motivated, they just want to make sure their birds are safe.
Wouldn't you?

Actually, I think that, if Mr. Marcus called the Health Department, he
would have found out that there was no disease at Bird Paradise and the
birds there are extremely healthy. I don't doubt that he did that; I think
he used it to generate more business for himself. That's what I did. I
called and the Health Department said all of the birds tested negative. To
each, his own. I'm all about the birds; I would think there would have
been more compassion there if there was even the possibility of something.
And, if he was so worried about his birds, why would he take in previously
owned birds FOR PROFIT to re-sell without first testing them? I think it
is a money issue here. We are all entitled to our opinions. I will drive a
little further to shop at Bird Paradise. They test all of their birds
before they even enter their store. Like you said in one of your posts
"why does he still have the signs up -($$$$ maybe?)" Cheers - Joan

Bird Paradise should have their lawyer send a nice "cease and desist" letter
to Birds Exotic
