[Mom's Animal Preserve]

I am on travel this week for work in CT and I passed by a little strip mall in Orange with a store called (as best as I can tell) "Exotic Birds". There are two cockatoos in the store front window, each in its own huge cage. The store is located in between an "Olive Garden" and "TGIFridays" that are a few blocks apart.

The store wasn't open when I went by, but I peeked in the door and all that is in the store (that I could see) are three long rows of cages down the length of the store. I could see some cockatoos and at least one B&G macaw. There was nothing else at all in the store except about 25 - 30 large cages. No racks of food or toys that I could see. Does anyone know anything about this store? I will reserve my comments on what I think about what I saw until I get some other feedback, hopefully from someone who lives around here and can tell me what the conditions really are inside that store.

If it's a reputable store that takes care of their birds, I will definitely plan to check it out next time I am up in this area. I just don't want to go in and feel like I need to rescue all of the birds in the store.

Anything anyone knows would be appreciated.
