Visited from out of town, both women running the shop were friendly and answered all my questions. Got to held Dot the cockatiel and a Derbyan parakeet. Bought a bunch of goodies for my lovebird back home. Visit before they put the birds back in their cages at 3:30pm for the day!You can buy toys, pellet mixes, seed blends, freezer dried fruit & veg packs, cuttlebone, millet, cages, perches, bowls, and birds of course. Bring your own jar for the bulk items!

So sad they're closing this store. I love Joelle (spelling sorry if I misspelled it) She's the only one who I trust to work on my birds. Don't get my wrong they're all greatLove this place and love holding the birds. I love taking in my own birds to be seen here. Just got the cutest cockatiel from there. They groom all of my birds. They are the only place I trust with my birds

Loved their birds and they allow you to interact with them. However, this location is closing on May 6th.

Do not recommend, the staff are super friendly and mean well, but are severely under-trained and often sell birds with diseases. Actually lost my bird Widget who I had for a about a year today to a disease that the vet said is common in bird's from Omar's, which caused him to loose weight at a rapid pace, and when we asked Omar's for advice, they suggested a method that only stalled the solution instead of fixing it, an in hindsight, it probably did more harm than help.

If you want to have a real ‘bird’ experience go to this place! It’s like a petting zoo but for birds. It’s fun to go just for the experience itself even if you are not ready to buy a bird :D The birds are out of their cages and you can pick them up and interact with them. None of the other bird stores in town offer this kind of interactive bird experience where the birds are out of their cages.They have birds for every type of bird owner, from hand fed parakeets to macaws and canary’s.This store also has a large aviary where the birds fly freely and I think as a result you can hear the most beautiful music all around. (View my video for an example)I love the ‘out of cage experience’. Because of this I was easily able to pick a cockatiel out of the flock, which just hoped on my arm and did not want to come down! I was hoping to find a friendly and social bird and this open cage setup was simply the easiest way to get a feel for all of the birds.

This was our first time to the store and Jilene and Lilly were absolutely amazing! They were the sweetest and most professional people we have encountered in a long time, and for them to be our new home for taking our feathered babies to go to is awesome! They expertly groomed our Blue-Winged Macaw and Indian Ringneck and I was shocked by how my macaw, who is normally screeching from anxiety from the ordeal, hardly made any sounds while she was groomed! That blew me away! I HIGHLY recommend this establishment for all your bird needs, especially for grooming! Thank you so much!!!

Really neat place to see and interact with parrots. Parrots are well-provided for and taken care of. All of them are hand-raised and very sweet

Wowed by this place. Slightly mindblown by how free the parrots were to roam around the place as well as by how big some of those parrots were. The whole experience of being able to interact with the birds in such a way was humbling as well as one that made me see bird ownership and interaction as more real and doable. Their birds are on the expensive side but I presume that you get what you pay for.

Lots of beautiful birds to see and touch. The were used to people. You can hold them and pet them. The birds were making their beautiful chirping sounds. It was such a sight to see.

Omar's was highly recommended by a local rescue. If you love birds,you'll be a kid in a candy store in here. These healthy birds are all oh so beautiful !!!

Super awesome place. I love Lily and Jeline! They are so helpful and very knowledgeable. I got my baby Pi from them and they did such an amazing job taking care of my baby Pi before bringing her home! They are the sweetest people ever and you can see they really take care of all of the birds. My little Georgie loves Lily and Jeline so much! :)

We LOVE Omar's. The staff is incredible, so knowledgeable, and will spend the time needed to educate. Jilene always does an amazing grooming job for our cockatiel. And now we're going to purchase an Indian Ringneck and will receive free grooming for life! We are so lucky to have a place that specializes in birds so close to home.

Stopped by on a Thursday just before 4:30, the open sign is illuminated (closing is posted as 5pm) the front door was open but...after entering we were told they are closed. Someone was sweeping and turned another customer away that walked in before us. What the heck? So we went to Our Feathered Friends and they happily accepted the $100. that we ended up spending on food and toys.

Beautiful parrots, sun conures, cockatiels and the rest I will learn another visit. Staff friendly and informative. Bird-o-phobes, beware!! Many birds here are uncaged! They sell spatious cages too. And all kinds of bird seed.

Sales help was not very knowledgeable and not really accommodating when we asked her questions on the cockatiels.

They let you hold the birds and teach you how best to take care of them if you're interested. The lady didn't get bothered even when I asked a million questions. Super friendly staff and the birds are so beautiful. Could spend all day there.

Clean, well stocked, but most important are the incredibly knowledgeable staff who honestly answered all my questions, even the sorta dumb ones. We left with a much better idea of how well we prepared for our new family member.

Their birds seem really well cared for. Staff is seriously dedicated to their health and happiness. Pretty clean , especially for such an old building. They stock things I haven't seen in any retail pet store, like harnesses and bird carriers. Tons of toys and better quality food like Harrison's pellets.Down side? Parking is awful and no gift certificates!But they have an inside aviary, so who cares!! Check them out!

It's great that there is a place for my 41 year Afican grey Parrot to get food and care and the staff one lady who is awesome on knowledge and love of birds. And a different way to try foods in a one lab bag or a 20 lb bad and mix and match. They are great clean and care friendly people. Just had a physical for Jack and he is great at 41 and gained some wait. I have a great Doctor and know a great place to his every day needs. Thanks

Omar's is the place to go for bird care and a happy greeting. Their staff is not only knowledgeable, but they are also friendly and kind. We have visited all of the locations over the years and the new Vista store is just so wonderful! Very happy to see Omar's in North County!
