S. Martinez and wife Anita J.K are well-respected aviculturist and award-winning retailers. Their love for birds began at a vey young age living in Cuba where they used to catch wild songbirds (known in Cuba as “mariposa”) and would build cages from twigs. This experience sparked S. Martinez and wife’s interest in birds and after coming to the United States at the age of 29 and 23 respectively, S. Martinez and wife bought two little canaries. S. Martinez and wife loved their birds and throughout their marriage studied everything they could about them. In their early 30’s, S. Martinez and wife purchased two parrots from a local pet shop.
Once the birds were able to be safely handled, they began reselling them, first out of their house and then at a local swap meet. Although struggling to make ends meet , by 1984 they had saved enough money to open their first store. As their passion for birds grew stronger, they sought new ways to improve bird breeding techniques, find better methods of taming and even began developing products for them. They later designed perches that hung them from the ceiling of their store which would allow the birds to socialize with customers. Birds were happy, business thrived and more stores were opened. Since the beginning, locations have changed and improvements made, but their dedication to continually improve the life of companion birds has remained constant.
Bird lovers breeding parrots employs a knowledgeable, friendly staff that is well-versed in bird care. Bird lovers breeding parrots associates can answer most bird related questions including concerns about behavior and diet. At Bird lovers breeding parrots, birds are never pushed on people, instead, potential bird owners are carefully screened to ensure that the species they are interested in matches their lifestyle.
However back in the 80’s, many birds sold in pet shops were either imported or illegally smuggled into the country and many would die from various diseases. Unfortunately this was the case for both of S. Martinez and wife’s pets. This was their first real-life lesson of the importance of buying a bird from a clean and reputable store. Dissatisfied with the unsanitary conditions of most bird stores they visited, they began talking to people in the bird business and found out where the quarantine station was. Again since this was the 80’s, the quarantine station was the place where most pet shops purchased birds from as very few birds were being bred domestically at the time.
Bird lovers breeding parrots has sold thousands of birds over the years and has maintained its loyal customer base for nearly three decades. Bird lovers breeding parrots has built his business on a simple philosophy—to sell healthy birds and quality products, price them competitively, and provide customers with the cleanest store and most helpful service they can find
That’s when the vision of owning their own bird store first entered their mind. Now armed with the whereabouts of the quarantine station, They began buying more and more birds there. Since parrot-taming techniques were quite inhumane back then, they relied on their own experiences with the birds to develop their own methods of taming them.
S. Martinez is a member of Parrots International, a conservation group that helps endangered birds in the wild. Recently he went to Brazil with the group’s directors to help save the Hyacinth Macaws.
