Folks,

We don't have suggestions for pet stores but we do have an avian
Veterinarian we highly recommend. Dr. Chris Sanders, Wildwood Veterinary
Hospital, off SandHill Road in Portola Valley - 650-851-9453. Chris
specializes in birds and reptiles and treats small animals as well. We have
been very pleased with the services of the doctor and his staff. They are
knowledgable, kind and friendly.

Portola Valley Feed is near this office and has very friendly and
knowledgable staff. Lots of hand raised birds, etc.

Hope this is helpful,

DeeDee & Richard
