Dennis Papegaaien - Den Ilp 110B

Am starting to worry if these 1 star reviews have some merit. If you would have asked me last week this would have been 5 stars. I also spent a very long time waiting and eventually gave up and had to use my own limited knowledge to select a bird. A wonderful employee who's name I did not get, she did a wonderful job trying to help me, she is deserving of business. Got a little help from someone who was not am employee. I will give 3 stars for the excellent condition of the birds and the female employee who worked and did her very best to pick up her managers slack.

Spent 45 minutes standing near the front desk waiting to be helped. Eventually settled for picking up everything myself. If you are looking for a quick shopping experience. (such as bird food or a toy) expect to wait 20-30 minutes. If you wish to purchase a bird plan on hours. The birds are in great health but the service is quite bad. The most experienced male worker often gives his work to less experienced people while he talks to his employees and relaxes.

Employee helped us cut my parrots wings but did it in such a brutal way that my sister has started to cry, and after this procedure my parrot is still able to fly, which suggests the wings were still cut improperly. Disappointing. However, very good products and cages for the parrots, also lots of vitamins for the parrot. It is clear that the employees are specialists in knowledge but just the way they handle the birds is really brutal and disappointing, however I am not a specialist but that’s just how I saw things today in this store.

Some of the staff are really nice here, however not very organized. They treat the birds terribly, they're really rough with them, and do not care about the birds well-being. They toss around the birds and handle them very harshly. No toys in the cages, the floor is a mess. They do have a lot of variety with the bird species they have, but I don't think this should hinder the fact that they treat the birds bad.

I was considering going here, but the reviews were quite alarming, so I did a bit of research. The results are not good: The father and son were convicted in a criminal court for their illegal practices in bird trade. The son (Dennis) received a prison term and a 2 year prohibition within this profession. Do the poor birds a favor and buy a healthy, well-cared-for bird at a respectable establishment. It really makes me feel bad that I was considering this place. Do the research yourself, just google "Dennis Papegaaien Rechtszaak" and you'll see what I mean...

Dennis is a very amiable person, very caring for the birds and very knowledgeable. In this shop you can get any kind of parrots, and you can also let your bird stay there as a hotel.

Went there a few months ago to look at a cockatoo. There was a little Pionus that was bald and had messed up feathers. I saw an ad for him on marktplaats, remembered and decided I would get him and bring him home to hopefully let him heal and be happy. When I went there he was more bald than before, had scabs on his head, was twitching his head and it was hanging back as he slept, looking like a bird that would die in the next few days. He didn’t even acknowledge my presence there, just sat in the corner of the cage. But one of the employees dared to say he was just molting and nothing else was wrong with him. The birds are in tiny empty cages with no form of entertainment. Many of them are plucking and some look sick, especially the ones kept towards the back. Most of the employees seem to have no idea what they’re talking about with birds as I’ve witness two of them just make up something on the spot. When I called I was also told that with a bird I get €100 off of a cage or Java tree but after getting the bird it was €75 off. The first time I went this kid there went to show us the bird, gave us non-answers for our questions, took the bird out of the cage and just left us. The second time another employee left me while I still had questions to ask. Then they also have ads for these birds up saying one price but when you get there they tell you the birds are €200-500 more than what the ad states. I ignored the negative reviews of this place because I believed every bird still deserves a good home, even if the place itself doesn’t deserve the money for them. But I can’t even try to give a poor bird a good life if they look like I’m going to be spending 500+ just to give it a funeral. You can get all of the birds they have somewhere else. Don’t go here, it’ll just leave you feeling guilty and sad for all those birds

Super friendly, super professional with great knowledge. Very clean place and lot of Verity of birds. They are good at picking the right bird for you without trying to sell you the most expensive one. I think all the negative reviews are fake about them .
