Back in 2017 we adopted a Cockatiel from CAARE, one of 49 they rescued from a basement. The gave us good instructions on his care and needs, made sure we got an appropriate cage, food and toys. Since then, they have answered many questions on health and care. I know they are 100% volunteer run by people with in their "spare" time (jobs, college, families). They rescue birds from ND, MN, SD and many other states. Amazing, supportive group!

I came here around may, Very well kept store and adoption center!I adore the amount of work the workers put into these birds, bless you all truly.I will come around sometime my bird needs some new toys! reasonable prices for the toys, times I think they are a little up there but I think thats just me.Wonderful place for bird owners to shop, I hope more bird owners find out about your place! Rather than shopping at those over priced pet store chains who treat their animals horribly most of the time away from the public eye.Keep it up wonderful workers!

Great place to adopt birds and to buy your supplies. Amazing staff always there to help. I'd never get a bird any other place other than a friend or family member.

Well thought out establishment. The birds are housed in a clean environment, the treatment facilities are appropriate, and the store area is well stocked and kept current.

We love our birds, is a great place and staff, for care of our birds. Has helped and been there for our needs, only wish we was closer to help out with great care of the birds daily needs. We get to Fargo we usually make appointment around when they are open to stop in. Keep up the great care, love this place.

Great prices on bird food, toys and.cages. plus it's non profit, all the money goes to the shelter. Lois Novacek is the creator of this wonderful organization. She is an altruistic person with a genuine love for birds. I believe her to be a bird whisperer. She also clips wings and talons. I have a Moluccan cockatoo. He literally lets her open his wings to trim them. He loves her.

Very knowledgeable and kind hearted people here! I had an unexpected and sudden adoption myself and they were so helpful in helping my new friend get a good start and helping to answer so many questions for me. I do not recommend a quick adoption like that but in this case it was a rescue who needed a new home now. And the people here where a genuine life line for us.

CAARE really exceeded my expectations in every way, from both a customer and volunteer perspective. Every parrot is treated with the upmost care and fed the appropriate diet needed depending on their species and size. Water is regularly changed, and cages are also regularly cleaned and always look very presentable.The leadership board are all very nice and easy to get along with. They will communicate with their customers and regular visitors as often as they are able, and always have fun stories to share of their own bird experiences. I took my young green cheek in for a nail clipping and a cockatiel for wing and nail trim. Lois treated both birds delicately and handled them very well.All the other volunteers I had the pleasure of meeting are very knowledgeable and have a lot of experience with birds and specific parrots currently up for adoption. They have also helped give me a new understanding of how to approach and work with parrots for increased success. Karen and Candi handle birds very delicately. Karen and Candi are both very articulate individuals and are always willing to share their experiences with visitors. Janelle is also very helpful and pleasant to be around.I was excited to start volunteering and try to visit the center whenever I can. I feel my knowledge of birds can only improve. I am eager to continue working with CAARE to further my experience and handling of parrots for years to come.In conclusion, everyone at CAARE truly cares about the experience of their customers and wants to make sure they have the best environment possible for their adoptable parrots. CAARE also does everything in their power to ensure each bird is given the best forever home possible which fits the parrot’s needs.I cannot recommend CAARE enough!

I love C.A.A.R.E.! Such an amazing community to help educate! I currently have an African Grey named Carlos. We will go to care to pick up fun new toys, food and get to visit a few other fun birds looking for a new home! I highly encourage anyone wanting a bird to do your research and I highly recommend checking out C.A.A.R.E. for all of your birdies needs! They have cages, stands, toys, food, they do adoptions and will also take in any birds that need a new home!

Came in wanting to look at a few birds and left with so much knowledge about different types and how to handle. It was amazing how friendly the volunteers were and seeing how well they interact with the birds.

Knowledgeable staff that work tirelessly to help the amazing parrots. The store has a great selection of bird toys, perches, food, and treats. They are my go-to stop for routine bird items

We brought our parrot in to be adoptive. We met Candi ( think that's her name) at the center. Walked in and saw all these beautiful parrots and how healthy they were. She got Baxters cage ready and was so very on top of transporting him from the carrier to the cage. Very caring gal..and I mean..VERY CARING! Cages and building was clean!! When it was time to leave my pretty boy, I broke down and cried and Candi was so sympathic and so sweet. I just KNOW my boy is in excellent hands. Thank you CAARE for what you do!~ Vicki

I am a current volunteer and someone who has adopted from here. CAARE is the filled with volunteers and members who truly have a passion for companion parrots. They take the time to help you find the right toys, food, etc., and also finding the right feathered friend to be in your life! The parrots who are in search of a home range from Budgies/Parakeets, Lovebirds, Cockatiels, Conures, Quacker Parakeets, Amazons, Macaws, and various types of Cockatoos!If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call, email, or stop in...we are more than willing to help! The store and shelter are open on Wednesdays and Saturdays or you can schedule an appointment! Come check it out! The store prices are MUCH lower than other pet supply stores! Let CAARE share their passion for parrots with you. You won't regret it and it's 100% obvious that CAARE really cares!

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Knowledgeable on all topics related to birds and how to take care of them. Was able to answer a plethora of questions regarding adoption and how to take care of a new bird.

I am a member and patron of CAARE, having adopted 4 birds from them. The volunteers at CAARE really do care about the birds and the families that are considering adopting. Adopting a parrot is a big responsibility and CAARE is there to answer your questions, provide you with reasonably priced toys, perches & cages, as well as the birds themselves. They are a great source of advice for the beginner and I cannot recommend them strongly enough.
