Exotic birds, some with the price tag of $7,000, makes this not your average pet shop, but an alternative place to check out some varieties without schlepping to the out-of-the-way city zoo. Upscale store in dark wood carries different parrots, including super pricey gray Congo parrot. Some birds like the toucan and its relative the turaco get their own spacious areas. Au Pet Store maintains Procriar program to breed birds in captivity, eliminating their risk of extinction in the wild. Requisite romping puppies and cats round out the inventory.
