Parrot University

This is a great location. They are kind and caring. There is such a need for what they are doing. The staff really cares about the birds. Amazing.

A stellar selection of food and toys. Superb retail shop with fair prices and it helps to know that the retail selection helps birds in need.
The real star here is the staff and services offered. If you have absolutely ANY questions about your parrot this is the place to go. They know their stuff and are happy to share with anyone who wants to learn about parrots or has a question/​issue with a parrot at home.
The classes are FREE — absolutely no catch whatsoever. All of them (yes, I’ve taken all but one) are highly informative and an absolute must for parrot owners. I started classes here before my parrot hatched and by the time she arrived at the airport I felt more than prepared to handle any issues that may come up and if I don’t know then I know exactly who to call!

Stepped in here on the request of my husband and was pleasantly thrilled at the place. This is a great aviary place. a lot of the birds that were surrended by their previous owners, some are 2^nd or 3^rd home birds.
They have small birds as well as large Macaws. some of the birds have health issues that they are being treated for from either poor nutrition, or environment issues so some have no feathers which is sad.
they have lots of toys to purchase and treats and they offer free classes to educate people on birds behavior and activities.
their birds are available for adoption, and they also offer boarding services. If you own a bird this is a great place to stop in and check out

Parrot U is more than just a pet store specializing in birds. It’s a place to learn about taking care of a bird.
They do not sell birds. They take in unwanted birds and find new home for them by adopting them out. To become a new «parent», you must go through a few classes and then allow the staff to visit your home to make sure it is a safe place for a bird.
The cost of adopting a bird is about $ 250 which is far less than what many birds sell for in a regular pet store. This fee takes care of the initial vet bill to give your new bird that clean bill of health.
In the store the birds keep changing which is a good thing that many are finding new homes. You can also buy your food, toys, cages and other bird stuff here.
Parrot U sits in the Food Lion shopping center in Pineville a few doors to the right of the Food Lion.
The staff at Parrot U is also very knowledgeable and always willing to take time to help you out.
