Reviews for Above the Rainbow Aviary

  • Kassie Toler Oceana, West Virginia Highly recommend!! He takes time with you to pick your baby out! All of his birds are so beautiful and healthy!! I bought 2 babies from him and planning to buy more!! Felt so comfortable and at home at his place while picking out or babies! 7/4/2024 1:12:01 PM

  • Laura Via Mt Hope , WV This guy is awesome! He is so knowledgeable about birds and loves them! I am very happy with my sweet bird I purchased from him. Highly recommend! 11/13/2023 12:28:48 AM

  • Joanne Kong Richmond, Virginia We were looking for a White Winged Brotogeris parrot, and luckily found Shane. He was absolutely amazing during the whole process! His knowledge, and passion for parrots are boundless, and our new bird is SO well-socialized. Amazing breeder!!! 7/29/2022 8:21:08 PM

  • CRYSTAL South Jordan, UT Shane is great to work with. Very knowledgeable and responsive! He will answer all the questions you have about the birds! 7/19/2022 9:57:47 PM

  • Emre Columbus, OH Bought a CBC about a year ago. It was one of the best decisions I made. Our CBC is so friendly and adorable and was raised very well. I would recommend this breeder as it seems they care about their birds a lot. 2/7/2022 5:24:35 PM

  • Stephanie Songer Coolville, OH I was interested in an Illigers this breeder said it had. I live close so I asked to come see the baby. For $4900,I don't think it was unreasonable. He refused. I understand the integrity of baby immunology. 8/1/2021 5:35:52 PM

    How are you going to “review” someone you haven’t done business with? Firstly the babies are $4200, not $4900. You called me and inquired about a 6 week old Illigers macaw baby, telling me your 8 year old Hahns macaw had passed away unexpectedly, and you had no idea what the cause of death was. I explained that I did do “home visits” once the babies were are an appropriate age to be held by strangers. You text again wanting to come this weekend and I explained I wanted the babies to be a week or two older before I would be comfortable letting strangers handle them. You then proceeded to send rude texts and I immediately knew my initial gut feeling were correct, and you were not the buyer for one of my babies. Also, we as breeders, don’t let just anyone come to our property without a internet search/social media background check on the buyer. You never even gave me your last name until you posted this “review” no way I would have let you visit until I’d researched you.

  • Catherine Luckey Raymore, Missouri Very patient in answering questions. Allowed us to coordinate to pick up the parrot in person. Provided information on feeding and care. Very healthy and happy parrot - adjusted extremely well to new surroundings. 7/24/2021 8:41:43 PM

  • Colleen Rivas Ona, West Virginia I have purchased several parrots from Shane and he is top notch! He is always in touch when I have questions and his experience with parrots is AMAZING. He has such a unique way of raising his babies and it shows in their personalities. 4/19/2021 7:24:10 PM

  • Heather T. Trafford, Pennsylvania Shane has amazing birds that you can tell he loves dearly and puts a ton of time into, I’m very happy I chose to do business with him and would 100% recommend him to anyone. Looking forward to getting more birds from him in the future. 3/21/2021 10:22:42 PM

  • Kelly Browning Clay, WV Looking for baby African Grey. 3/2/2021 12:25:26 AM

  • Fay W. Ager Ocala, Florida Shane went out of his way (even shifting his regular work schedule) to meet with me and introduce me to my new baby Red Lored parrot, Freddy, and I am eternally grateful. It was well worth the 30-hour drive from Florida and back due to COVID-19. 10/1/2020 6:19:40 PM

  • Jordan Cross Lanes, WV Beyond thankful. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8VexQZFBGS/ here's an update on Keina Ethrielle the pineapple with his companion Valarius Meige. Thanks again!!! (7/21/19) 2/9/2020 8:34:42 PM

  • Michelle Harless Louisa, Kentucky Bought a GCC from Shane over a year ago. The bird has been excellent. At the time we were new to the bird world and did not realize what a quality pet we were getting. The bird fit right in with my noisy kids and other pets. Tango has loads of person 11/11/2019 2:53:41 AM

  • Candice Sommer Gallipolis, Ohio We are pleased with our bird, and I think all the birds are well cared for and healthy so I would recommend in that regard however don’t pay the extra $25 for the sexing test, I’ve been ignored ever since. Unfortunately had to edit my positive review 8/13/2019 1:37:35 AM

  • Karen D. Minneapolis, Minnesota My experience with this breeder could not have been better. Perfection! 1/6/2019 3:21:49 PM

  • Brad McKinney Flatwoods, Kentucky Gave Shane an extra $25 when I got the bird as he said he would send feathers off and let me know if bird was male or female. That was almost 2 months ago. Shane will not respond to my texts or phone calls now? Guess I was taken for the $25??? 10/27/2018 5:55:48 PM

    Thanks so much Jeremy. So glad your happy with her.

  • Jennifer Weston, Wv I got my Senegal baby from Shane. And Oscar is the most lovable bird I have ever had. He is very socialized and loves being out with me. I had read the other reviews on here and after contacting Shane and talking with him about his birds and how he raises them there was no question about it. I told my husband that I was looking for a bird that was raised exactly how he raises them. I love how my Oscar loves fruits and veggies. He loves giving kisses. Shane definitely knows his babies. 8/4/2014 7:38:04 PM

    Breeder Reply:
    Jennifer, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad your happy with Oscar. As I told you, he is one of my favorite all time babies. He is such a little character.

  • Craig Ripley, WV I have brought home one of Shane's well socialized Eclectus babies. I spoke with him and set up a meeting. He is VERY informative and cares deeply for his kids. I firmly believe he is an asset to the birding community. Mango's comming home to us was a very easy transition for him, in a new cage, new surroundings, different noises he began eating in 30 minutes! Mango now is harness trained and loves the outdoors. He also loves to snuggle with my son and my wife before bed. Thanks again! 5/22/2014 8:20:48 PM

    Breeder Reply:
    Thank you so much for the review Craig. Mango is a wonderful little fella. So glad your family is happy with him.

  • Marsha Barboursville, WV I would recommend ABOVE THE RAINBOW to anyone and everyone who is interested in purchasing a new feathered member to their family....Shane is awesome! Not only is he very personable and knowledgable about any questions you ask, he is very compassionate with his little feathered babies. When you see him interact with them there is no doubt he loves what he does! You would not go wrong by purchasing your bird from this Breeder!🌈🌴 5/21/2014 1:48:27 AM

  • John Huntington, WV Shane was great. I am currently purchasing a recently hatched Green Cheek Conure from him. He was very quick to respond to my email. He is extredmely knowlegable about all aspects of providing a good home for my new friend. He encourages visits with my bird until ready for pickup. I couldnt ask for a better contact in the purchase of a new bird. I would highly recommend doing business with Shane and plan to do more in the future. 2/7/2014 10:17:01 PM

  • Donna Sod, WV I bought a GCC from Rainbow Aviary, She was had fed, and so social. Shane, gave me a bag of food that She was used to, told me everything I needed to know . He was so nice, took the time I needed, and is always available for me to ask questions. Shane loves his birds, and treats them like children,and I am sure he feels like they are his kids, it is not about the money with Shane, He wants his birds to find a family to live the rest of their lives with. A wonderful person and breeder. 11/10/2013 2:57:37 PM

  • Melissa Both of my Above the Rainbow babies are outstanding. They are very tame, affectionate and love attention. I believe they are like this due to hand feeding and meticulous socialization process. I am considering adopting a third family member in the spring & if I do it will come from Above the Rainbow Aviary. :-) 12/19/2012 11:58:57 PM

Shane is the only breeder I'll purchase from! Noah has brought joy into my life & is a loving best friend bc of the outstanding way Shane raises his babies!

  • Emily Charleston, WV I drove an hour just to meet with this breeder. He really is the best! He's very clean also. He hand raises all of his babies and you can tell he really loves his birds. He's also the cheapest around that I've found. Extremely professional and will answer any of your questions(I had a million since I was first time bird owner lol) His birds are very healthy and cuddly because he raises them with love from day one. He also tracks and takes photos everything from when your bird is born! 2/20/2012 10:39:14 PM

    Breeder Reply:
    Thanks so much for the rating Emily. I always look forward to seeing your new pics of "Pinky" a baby I'll never forget, as he has been my only Green Cheek Baby EVER, with just one pink toe, lol..

  • Lesley Culloden, WV Above the Rainbow Aviary's owner Shane is professional, caring, and great with his birds. His Aviary is always clean and neat and he is always more than willing to answer questions or point me in the right direction. Shane has allowed me to socialize with my bird throughout the weaning process so that we are better bonded and the move "home" is less stressful on her. I highly recommend Above the Rainbow Aviary to anyone looking for a well socialized bird with a great temperament. 2/11/2012 6:26:13 PM
