I adopted my conure from these people and they let you look at them and handle them first I can't wait to make Speedwagon my new family member. I pick him up next week these people know their birds and they are a bit pricey but it is worth it if you want non abused and neglected parrots unlike PetSmart who neglects their parakeets and finches

I purchased my Blue & Gold Macaw from here in 2007 from Gwen the owner. My bird was 3 months old & is still thriving 17 years later. I was a first time Large bird owner myself. Gwen informed me of the diet this bird was fed and gave me recommendations. Yes my bird go to is seeds and flavored pellets. Fresh fruit and veggies ahe has always been picky with. Each bird is different. I purchased my seed from here up until her store was damaged due to a rock slide that had nothing to do with her care of the birds. I continued to purchase from Gwen on the weekends when I make it during her limited hours she's open.Gwen loves her Avian business and is a Very educated breeder & owner of her own personal birds. Her raising & hand feeding teaches the birds to trust. Trust in any living being is not transferable, its earned. As for transporting, answering some negative reviewers, are you not intending to transport the bird home yourself? It does the bird good to travel, in its cage/crate. I traveled to Ga & back with mine many times as well as to my vet and she does great!It's up to you to keep your bird de-stressed.I do not know Gwen on a personal bases only by business.I do recommend her business & education to buy your next pet from. It is your responsibility to know the breed of bird you purchase to keep it healthy. Find your closest Avian vet after purchase if you have issues.

Lisa told me that parrots need seeds to live and that my veterinarians are wrong. She also grabbed a poor baby by his tail and a feather even came out. He was screaming in pain and fear and he couldn't fly away because his wings were clipped. I was astonished that such abuse could go in in a place that claims they take good care of birds. It was disgusting to watch and the birds were mostly fed seeds and were kept in such tiny cages. I think this is not because they love birds but because they want to make money.

The folks with Strictly Feathers are so sweet. They take great care of the birds and raise them in their homes until adopted. Our Mango is super healthy and was well taken care of until we adored her.

We love this little gem of Knoxville. Such friendly people who will take the time to talk to you and answer all your questions. Glad they were able to get back on their feet after the rockslide took out their other location.

Don’t buy from the chain pet stores!These people know and love these birds and hand raise them the right way. Super knowledgeable and top notch food, too! Only open Saturdays, so plan accordingly. Really good people!I would like to address some of the negative comments.1. They DO NOT recommend an all seed diet! They even send you home with a list of foods the particular breed can and cannot eat.2. Transporting the birds doesn't stress them out. Our birds travel with us and they couldn't care less.3. All of the birds we have purchased from them have left heathy and if cared for properly will stay that way.4. Wing clipping: You have to handle the bird in a certain way to control it for its safety and I've watched him do it and I've done it myself. Sure it can be stressful on a bird like it can be cutting the nails on a dog, etc. And if you want your bird to have more "glide time" by not clipping them all the way, it will take off more and end up getting hurt more.Either clip the wings every three months or don't.You don't have to clip the wings. That is up to you and they'll tell you why...

We purchased a crimson belly from here. They clipped his wings so low he could not even glide to the ground. The way they handled the bird was rough and frightened him. He had frayed feathers from small cages and blackened tips which shows stress or illness.A few months goes by and the bird started to show illness. This place does not sell healthy birds. It is all about money.We spent thousands trying to save this little fella. Unfortunately, he had a birth defect and was not able to survive.Do your research. Wing clipping is not required or safe for your bird. Darkening feathers is a sign something is very wrong. Birds also should not be on a seed diet. Everything they tell you here is outdated and wrong. Our vet does not approve of one thing they do.Please find a breeder that cares for their birds and educates you with correct information.I also agree, they are abrupt and rude to children. There are other breeders that are educated who offer the same birds.Also, yes they do transport the birds here so they are extremely stressed.1400 for a bird that lives 3 months is sad!we loved him and lost him because of the way they raise and breed their birds.

If I could give this establishment zero stars, I would. After being on a wait list and being told my bird was ready for purchase, I traveled to the location. I was met with someone whom I feel was a very rude and pretentious. Surprisingly, this was the owner! My daughter asked to hold the bird who was to be our new family edition. She was barked at with a big "NO" by the owner. Now, mind you we have birds and I informed the owner of this. She knows how to hold birds and has plenty of practice doing so, among various other animals we have hand-raised since birth. After being told no, my daughter baby talked all the birds and was asking questions. She is a curious 8 year old and is a respectful child. She was so happy and was excited to be there to purchase our new edition. Suddenly, the owner marched out of the room while I was holding the bird and a new lady came in, took my daughters arm and told her she needed to "calm down" or the owner would not sell us a bird. The owner then came back in and said the bird was not ready. All of a sudden, the bird who was young but was ready and weened the week prior and who was eating an apple needed to stay there. I excused myself and we left. Just be an honest person and say you do not want to sell a bird to us. You do not need to lie. Also, while we were there, another mother and her child had an urgent issue and asked the owner to use the rest room. The owner snapped at her and said she doesn't have a public bathroom. Ummm, the last time I was there, I used the bathroom. I did not have my child with me at that time though. If you have a child, I recommend you do not bring them to this location. I would also like to add the birds are all transported to this store for sale each week, which has to be stressful on each bird. Some were even in Tupperware bowls with towels on top.
