I was at Omar's yesterday helping my DD's friend pick out a cockatiel.
They told me that they will give her a 'starter kit' with the bird, which I figured was a baggie full of seeds. Instead they gave us--20% off the cage, and about 20 lbs of assorted food (basic seeds, millet spray, some bean mix you cook up, fruit/nut mix, a huge cuttlebone, a mineral block) plus a toy off the shelf which was priced $10.99.
On top of that, we got a caresheet and a free vet exam certificate. They also wanted us to bring the 'tiel back in a week for a weight check to make sure that s/he is thriving.
We had already purchased a cage earlier and didn't have a carrier. So the clerk pulled one off the store shelf, took the packaging off and told us we could borrow this one --that we could just bring it back in a week when we return for a weight check. In the meantime, we could select a carrier that we liked. I thought that was extremely nice.
So far, I've been very impressed with this store!
I'm planning on calling Aves International in the next week or so once my visiting in-laws leave. I want to get a feel of what they are like too.
