I got my best friend, Mango, here in 2017. She was quickly attached to me and knew step up on day one! She is a healthy active bird who is very spoiled! Sissy is very knowledgeable and the price of her toys and perches are unbeatable. I can't thank her enough for the blessing of my bestie. We have traveled across states together and moved in to my first apartment together, she adjusts so well. I suggest taking your bird with you everywhere as a baby (safely) so they are not shy as they get older. I can't recommend Sissy's bird colony enough.

I was texting with her about adopting one of her rescue birds. I have bird experience and specifically wanted a rescue and it didn't matter if it was hand tame or not. She claimed she had a blind Budgie who was bonded to a friend. I said I could adopt both so they could stay together. She claimed she would get back with me the next day with pictures but she never text me again. I even sent a follow up text but nope. Nothing. I find ghosting potential homes extremely unprofessional. Thankfully I was able to adopt rescue Keets elsewhere without issue. My advise is to look elsewhere. I feel like my time was absolutely wasted by this place.

We got a male cockatiel from Sissy 3 and a half years ago and we named him Indy. Indy is very happy active little one that we are very in love with. Sissy is lovely and cares very much for all the birds that she breeds. We had a lovely experience with Sissy and we are thankful for our Indy.

I tried to contact her months ago, then again recently via phone message and text, but she does not return calls. Even though her voicemail says to call back if you don’t hear from her within 24 hours bc she’d love to talk to you, she doesn’t call back. Lots of grammar/spelling issues with the web pages makes me wonder how professional she is. Now that I’m reading other reviews and see that there have been issues with bird health, I think I’ve dodged a bullet with this one.

I purchased a male parakeet from Sissy. He is a great bird, and I really love and enjoy him. Upon purchasing him, Sissy ensured me that all of her birds were very healthy. However, it turned out that he had red mites and needed treatment. He is an otherwise healthy bird. If you purchase from Sissy, I would recommend bringing your bird to the vet as soon as possible just to be safe.

I can’t express how amazing Sissy is and the love and compassion she has for the animals! Met her yesterday after adopting Chico, an amazing Umbrella Cockatoo. Her business is perfect for animals and even if you don’t adopt, please definitely adopt!

After much research, we picked Sissy's Bird Colony for a cockatiel. Sissy has incredible experience with birds and is happy to share her knowledge with her customers. It was well worth the 2-hour drive to visit and select a bird, then return once he was weaned to pick up. The birds, cages, etc. were immaculate when we visited. You could tell how much she loves these animals and how well they were cared for as babies. Our boy has now been home with us for a month and is pure love. It's obvious he was handled regularly and hand-fed. He is very tame, gentle and calm. Beautiful and healthy. A fast learner. He loves spending the day on our shoulders. This was the best bird buying experience I've had (I've owned two previous birds) and I would recommend Sissy to anyone interested in a quality bird for a pet!

My experience I had with my appointment was awesome. Sissy brought out just the right amount of birds for me to look over. I knew she had more birds that I could look at but she didn’t want to overwhelm me. I was having a hard enough time trying to pick only one. So I bought two. Lol. I was also blown away with the amount of supplies you can purchase from her. The toy selection was amazing along with everything else. You can get everything you want from her. I was pleased to support her business. You can tell that she loves her birds and takes excellent care of them. I mean if you can see the amount of trophies and ribbons she has from showing birds for so many years she must know what she’s doing. Well I can keep going on about how happy the service was and how she took her time to answer all my questions. I HIGHLY Recommend her. You won’t be sorry it’s well worth it. Thanks again Sissy. Your the best.

Sissy is awesome! She has great customer service and is very knowledgeable about all her birds. I’m actually a repeat customer and bought my Cockatiel from her in 2011 and now I’ve purchased a beautiful parakeet and he is so much fun. I will return in the future if I want another bird. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy fun loving little friend.

Gun owner business.I was lucky she replied the same day to go buy a bird. Read all her website and got real informed. She was trying to sell me a $90 or above bird however once there my options were super small. 4 birds to pick from which we didn’t handle at all while there, she placed in cage with a towel but claims she hand raises them?The bird she gave me seems to have extreme anemia, she was always cold and room was at average temperature. Also was told she could bread although she was only 8 months old and the recommended age is 12 months to mate. Didn’t let us bond with the bird like her Page suggest. From day one the bird was stuck in a corner of the cage not chirping. Week and a half bird died. Bird didn’t seem healthy form the beginning. BEWARE pick your own bird and handle it also pick the most active bird!Contacted her to get a new bird since it hasn’t even been 2 weeks. She replied kindly that she will check her birds and get back to me. Will update once there’s an updateUPDATE: it took about 3 weeks for a update and it was me reaching out. The lack of communication here still plays a big factor regardless of what goes on in our life’s. Finally was able to met and pick a new bird for my child. She did indeed read the review which then allows her to do things differently. This time around she inspected cage, let us handle and pick a bird without being rushed. Gave us tips and advice on the bird and cage. It was the perfect experience. We felt confident this time and went about our business.

We got our Harlequin macaw from Sissy and we couldn't be happier with the whole process. When we first inquired about her (she is a lovely female macaw) she was only 12 weeks and not weaned. Sissy, gave us tons of information on the bird and as a responsible breeder did not let her go until she was fully weaned. It did take a couple of weeks more than expected because little bird was a bit of a spoiled darling princess. During the whole process, and although Sissy was going through a rough patch with Covid and family she was taking care of, she kept us fully informed. On her website we could see the updates written with so much love and care, we knew baby bird was in great hands. When bird was ready, again because of Covid, flights to CA have been reduced and because she wanted to send the bird on the shortest flight possible, she drove 5hrs to Maryland to put her on the right flight to avoid any extra stress. I can't praise Sissy enough! Baby bird arrived in excellent health and condition, in a safe big crate and since then has been a joy to have around! Thank you Sissy!!! It has been an absolute pleasure and hope one day to meet you in person!

Sissy is busy doing good work for people. With that being said good things always take time and patience. Instant gratification isn’t found in every industry. Her doves are clean, beautiful and friendly and she will walk you through everything you need to know. I recommend setting up an appointment but she ships as well. Reach out to her! You may have to follow up but it’s well worth it, you will find the doves you’re looking for!!

Friendly and knowledgeable. She took the time out to talk with us and help us familiarize the budgie to us. Great lady.
