I've never seen the appeal of birds as pets. Herman the parrot<\/a> was fascinating to me as a kid, but in my mind he was a pet store fixture -- I had no desire to take him home. Parking your car under the wrong tree will illustrate possibly the main reason I feel that way, but different squids for different kids. Parrot Phernalia<\/i> was a store for those who do<\/i> like birds, and I would notice it from time to time as I would cut over from Bush River Road to Harbison Boulevard and I'm pretty sure I saw it open very recently. This real estate listing<\/a> suggests the storefront was built in 1970, so I'm sure it has been other things as well, but I don't recall anything from before Parrot Phernalia<\/i> (certainly there was nothing with a more memorable name..). Anyway, I guess Polly will have to look elsewhere for her cracker!<\/p>\n

UPDATE 9 June 2009<\/b>:<\/p>\n

I turns out this place has<\/i> moved and is still in business, and sounds like a really nice place (though I still<\/i> have no desire to have a bird!) -- by all means read The State story found by commenter Kc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, I've added some of the building's previous incarnations to the post title line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
