Strictly Feathers

I had such a great experience here. Everything from the great selection of birds (most of them exotic), to the really attentive and knowledgable staff. Garry, a staff member, shared some of his experiences along with his knowledge about the birds. Thanks to his patience and friendliness now I know which bird I want to get. Check this place out! Is really worth the visit and who knows you might walk out with an amazing pet :)

Giving 5 stars because of the complete turn around of attitude in this place. The economy sucks & these folks want your business. They are local, helpful, and pretty much guarantee the best prices. Lots of different species of birds. Big & little. Beginner & experienced. They’ve got it all. Love the huge millet sprays! Much bigger & seedier than Petsmart. Plus, did I mention local?

I love this place. Bought two parrots here. They are so helpful here and I love to buy their birdseed and treats. I like to go in and just look at the birds. It’s a good place.

When we moved to Knoxville 4 months ago, I found this great store off Old Broadway. I ventured in with my very well behaved children and we read the rules on a board at the front of the store out loud so all the children could hear. I could feel the eyes of the store owner all over us as well as her single employee. We were not wanted. The owner must have had poorly behaved children in her store in the past. We looked around briefly and left. A couple of weeks later, we went back to admire the store again. Still, the same uneasy feeling of unwantedness, although my children we exemplary. A third time we returned, leaving the 3 year old at home and taking an older child, a friend of my eldest daughter with us. We arrived, read the rules allowed and proceeded about the store. Eyes peered on us. The uneasy feeling returned. Our guest, my daughter’s friend stuck a feather into a bird cage while my back was turned. There was nothing in the rules about not sticking feathers into cages. My children new better but the guest made an error. The employee quickly swooped down, fussing and grumbling at the poor child. She told her and my daughter that they new they were doing wrong, but in fact, the little girl had no idea. She is a 10 year old child who was very interested in the birds and made a harmless mistake. I feel for the owner, having to deal with poorly behaved children in her store from time to time, but the unwelcome feeling emitted cannot be excused. I won’t be back

My husband and I have a couple of sugar gliders and bird/​cat toys are great for them. We decided to stop in here in hopes of finding some good toys and/​or branches for them to play and climb on.
The store isn’t all that big but they sure have a great assortment of birds. They all looked healthy and definitely well taken cared of. The toy section was decent however t didn’t have anything that we were looking. But as I was walking towards the back of the store I found a cubby full of java wood branches. These branches are similar to what you would find at a national pet store like Pet Smart and Petco but these were much larger. Also, the prices were pretty good. We ended up purchasing a couple and our little guys love them.
When we walked in the owner was there and greeted us. There were a couple of guys working in the back but they never greeted us or asked us if we needed anything. There was another lady there that was helpful and she was the one that answered any questions we had.
Would definitely come back for more toys in the future and maybe a bird someday.
