This place is disgusting. Walking in the front door I was for with the smell of animal waste from small animal cages not being kept clean. The birds appear to have many issues and didn't look to be handled much if ever. There is feces all over the bars of the cages. Looks like they haven't been cleaned in years. My heart breaks for the animals in this store. Many birds have no feathers or poor feathers from poor care. I am a bird owner and understand care for them and this is not it. I would not buy anything from them for fear of it dying or killing my other birds. They should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

Went in with my friend while exploring the area. The place was filthy, I had an asthma attack because of the strong chemical smell to cover up the amount of death in the store. Saw a dead hamster being eaten by another, and several baby birds shoved into a 10 gallon tall tank, and many other sick and dying animals. Please do the right thing and report this place. Animal abuse for the sake of money is not right. Please, someone help us get rid of this place.

To start, Hector was amazing! His store was clean. His animals were all cared for properly. After speaking with him in person for more than an hour I found a person who genuinely cares for the animals he works with, who has been doing this for longer than most people can hold a job, and I am certain that he does it for a genuine love and affection for working with animals and giving others happiness with a new friend when they leave his store. Pet stores do not generate a survivable wage, this is a passion and a hobby that only those with a great love for animals engage in. After reading some of the reviews left by people who visited Hectors, I had some concerns, not so much regarding Hector and his pet store, but the ignorance and lack of substantive understanding of animal husbandry and regulations by consumers. The first issue I found was with the comments regarding his animals and the condition of his store. If you do not want to see animals in cages go live in the jungle. The purpose of the cage is safety, both for humans and animals. This is how it works. If you do not like it, go somewhere else. Lions are fun when not caged, as are bears. If you have never owned an animal and had to clean multiple cages repeatedly, then you do not know the time it takes and how hard it can be when you also have customers coming and going and no one to help you. The industry is also regulation by Fish & Wildlife (a state government agency) and if things were not aligned with policies and standards Hector would not be in business. The second issue I found was the comments about birds dying and the complaints surrounding those comments. If you do not have familiarity with hand-feeding a baby bird DO NOT BUY ONE! If you have never owned a bird, do not start with something that requires a great deal of interaction. Parrots are not meant to live caged. As a parrot handler and a parrot behaviorist who owns 20 parrots and works with them daily, none of my birds are caged and all of my birds leave the home and go out into the real world for interaction and handling time. If you cage your bird and do not interact with it the inevitable result will be an angry, sad, depressed, nippy and feral bird. It is almost like having a child and they require constant attention. If you do not know how to hand feed a bird buy an adult bird. These are very simple steps to take, rather than complaining or making false allegations against a small business owner who works very hard to maintain a small business that caters to something he is quite passionate about, with very little return. Do your homework before you step out to make a purchase you may regret because it includes work. Do not read reviews and buy in to all the one-sided commentary. Go to Hectors, find him, talk to him, and ask him questions. We purchased a Conure from him less than a month ago, hand fed it, it is alive, it is happy, it is integrated into our flock and it is an absolutely amazing bird. That is all.

Hector was awesome. I stopped in for my first time looking for some type of turtle or tortoise for my nephew's 16th birthday. He offered me a great deal on a Russian tortoise and I left completely satisfied. My nephew was absolutely ecstatic with his gift. A small local pet shop that is BIG on customer service. Stop in and see what he has to offer.

Bought a bird for $400 he died within three days, went back and bought another bird Didn’t get a free replacement or a discount on it and spent $900 like an idiot and she died this morning. Had her for about a week and a half. It’s obvious they’re selling sick birds there.
