Badly designed toys and poor customer service which fails to take accountability for design faults

Despite good personal advice on Congo African Grey care initially and a more personal approach to customer service, this company has changed into some monster that wouldn't admit any accountability for poorly designed and at times even dangerously designed/made toys. The latest being a foraging wheel advertised as being suitable for Congo African greys on their website.

Good idea but bad execution as a smart grey can figure how to use and empty the whole thing in a day. Hard to attach and remove (needs another person to help) and have to use a screwdriver to take front panel off to refill. Have to stuff toy with loads of other fillers to avoid parrot having a fat and suger spike from this as mine did (resulting in several bites for me and days of him not eating his proper food). Very disappointed and very poor customer service on this occasion unfortunately. The worst was a huge heavy swing that had a tiny attachment holding it which fell to the ground (luckily with parrot not on it). Had to fix it myself using an alternative hook fixture. Often have to remove dangerous bells from toys and use proper links over those cheaper and more dangerous pear links most of their even heavy toys come with. Often the toy sizing is inappropriate or not as per website and advised parrot suitability (from giant toys that take too much space up advertised as suitable for a medium sized parrot to ones that are budgy suitable but cost much more).
Bad accountability for own design flaws and stick to their non refund or exchange policy even if toy caused extreme distress or worse, which has severed years worth of custom now.

Dear Tatiana,

We are sorry to read your review and disappointed that you remain unhappy with the outcome.

Parrot welfare and product safety are matters we take seriously. The foraging wheel referenced in your review is sold as a supervised enrichment toy for portion-controlled use, not as an unrestricted feeder. Parrots within the same species can vary greatly in how quickly they solve foraging toys, so one bird mastering a toy quickly does not make it inherently unsuitable or badly designed.

We also need to be clear that we cannot accept responsibility for claimed dietary or health effects arising from the type or quantity of treats placed inside the toy, or from the way it was used. Any concerns relating to blood sugar, fat levels, or similar health issues should be discussed with an avian vet familiar with the individual bird.

You state there were design faults and past safety issues with other products. These historical concerns were not reported to us at the time, so we had no opportunity to investigate them, inspect the items, or offer assistance then.

With regard to this order, the product had been opened and used, and it was not faulty. For that reason, our decision not to refund or exchange was consistent with our published returns policy.

We appreciate that this toy did not suit your preferences or circumstances, but we do not agree that our website contains misinformation, nor do we accept the characterisation that we refused to take accountability. We replied in detail, explained our reasoning, and offered guidance on alternative use.

We are sorry that you have chosen not to shop with us again, and we wish you and Sergey well.

Kind regards,
Amber

Web site not working

I ordered twice way back in 2023 and I would love to order again but there is Tops Organic Parrot Food in my cart which I don't want to buy. But I don't see any way to delete it from the cart. There is a "Change" link in the cart which doesn't do anything apart from refresh the page and a faded icon which looks like an internet icon which similarly doesn't do anything.

Logging out, clearing browser cache and logging in results in this message when I access the cart, "You left some items from a previous cart. We have added those items to your current cart" and I'm back to square one.

Above and Beyond Service for My African Grey!

I can't say enough good things about Parrot Essentials. As an owner of an African Grey, I rely on them for all my supplies, and their service is consistently fantastic.
The staff are truly the best—they always go above and beyond to help. I've needed assistance with my subscriptions in the past, and they were brilliant at sorting everything out for me. They've even provided expedited deliveries when I've had a last-minute issue, which has been an absolute lifesaver.
It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and their feathered friends. The quality of their products is excellent, but it's the customer service that makes them stand out. I highly recommend them to any parrot owner.

Always perfect and fast

Always perfect and fast.
However, it is the first time I saw a company using a Support ticket system and giving access to the client to track their email communication.
This is used in tech companies but this type of efficiency is surreal outside of tech.
I don't think it's right to reveal the system as it is the company's competitive advantage but I am a system's lead by profession and I have never seen this interface and level of efficiency in a retail business.
Kudos for the investment on systems this shows a company that goes beyond what is necessary to ensure smooth client interactions.

Slower delivery but cheaper

The foreign finch food is sometimes hard to find on their site but worth the search. Amazon price £14.99 and Parrot essentials is half that + £3.99 postage so best to order several at one time.
The only real BIG PROBLEM I have each time is getting the order to go through...After completing address and payment method I seem to end up in circles, every time I click in box accept 'terms and conditions' it just takes me to them and when I return it asks me again to accept them. Really annoying.
So now...before I enter method of payment etc I go straight to bottom of page, click on accept terms and conditions before I continue with order. That seems to work.

Dear Findy,
I think you are confused with another company. We do not make ANY PROMOTIONAL PHONE CALLS, and at the end of each email we send, there is an UNSUBSCRIBE LINK. Once you click on it, you will never hear from us.

I have tried to find any details about you shopping with us, but since the information you provided is very limited, I am not able to do so.

Kind regards,
