About Us

Trusted Parrot Store in New Jersey for Over 28 Years

For more than 28 years, Josh Peterson and his family have proudly served the avian community in New Jersey. What began as a personal passion with Josh’s first companion bird quickly evolved into a lifelong career dedicated to professional parrot care, avian education, and responsible bird ownership.

Over the years, Josh has worked extensively with a wide range of exotic birds, including macaws, African Grey parrots, cockatoos, conures, and other companion parrot species. Through daily hands-on experience, he developed deep expertise in parrot behavior, species-specific nutrition, environmental management, and early socialization. As a result, customers receive guidance built on decades of real-world avian care experience.

Professional Parrot Care & Hygiene Standards

At The Parrots Exotic Store, exceptional bird care begins with uncompromising hygiene standards. From the moment you enter our facility, you experience a clean, organized, and carefully controlled environment designed to support avian health and wellness.

Our team thoroughly cleans and disinfects all enclosures, feeding areas, and shared spaces every day. In addition, we follow strict sanitation and biosecurity protocols to protect every bird in our care. We continuously monitor air quality, temperature, and humidity to maintain a warm, stable, and low-stress setting. Consequently, our birds thrive both physically and emotionally.

Because cleanliness directly impacts long-term health, we make environmental control a daily priority rather than an occasional task.

Hand-Raised Parrots & Early Socialization

From the very beginning, our experienced staff professionally hand-feeds and raises each parrot with consistent human interaction. Since early development plays a crucial role in lifelong behavior, we provide individualized care, proper nutrition, and species-appropriate enrichment at every stage.

As a result, our hand-raised parrots develop:

Strong social skills
Balanced temperaments
Confidence around people
Healthy behavioral patterns

Therefore, they transition more smoothly and successfully into their new homes.

About the Parrots Exotic Store

Daily Health Monitoring & Avian Veterinary Collaboration

Health oversight remains central to our operation. Josh Peterson and his highly trained team conduct daily hands-on health evaluations and actively monitor each bird’s appetite, behavior, and physical condition.

Furthermore, we collaborate closely with trusted avian veterinarians to maintain the highest standards of preventative care and wellness. Through regular check-ups, early detection practices, and immediate response to any changes, we ensure every parrot meets strict health standards before placement.

This proactive approach not only protects our birds but also gives customers confidence and peace of mind.

Education, Responsible Ownership & Personalized Matching

Equally important, we carefully select and continuously train our team in avian care, safe handling techniques, nutrition planning, hygiene protocols, and behavioral observation. Because expertise matters, we maintain consistent professional care across all species.

Beyond daily bird care, we prioritize customer education. Our team takes the time to understand each client’s lifestyle, experience level, and expectations. Then, we provide personalized recommendations to ensure the right parrot-to-owner match.

Over the years, Josh and his team have successfully guided countless individuals and families—from first-time bird owners to experienced avian enthusiasts. Through personalized consultations and ongoing support, we offer clear guidance on:

Proper housing and cage setup
Balanced parrot nutrition
Training and socialization
Mental enrichment and stimulation

Ultimately, this commitment promotes long-term success and responsible parrot ownership.
