Oldsmar flea market at a place called everything about birds...there he sat. Majestic, blue, flirty.i was in aw! The owner said the bird was willed to her only three weeks ago. I asked if I were to come back when it wasn't so busy if she would let me handle him. In time yes she replied..let him get settled in. I'm so happy to be able to be up close to such a cool bird. I'll add the photos in a bit.

Maria, I had a similar experience recently, I had a chance to hold a female hyacinth, it was unforgettable. Please post photos.

Not sure if it is worth the drive. Tons of toys. Fresh food. The owners are really nice. I go there becuz it's the only true bird store in my area..they have a website flyboy.

Thanks, yeah they're the only folks in the area that carry TOPS. My JoJo loves them! I picked up 25 pounds when I was last in Colorado, but I'm down now to about 7 pounds

Would love to see him!!! Nice to see people in the area! I live in Tampa and beginning my journey to owning my first parrot! Everything Birds is a great store i go in there all the time!!!! Hopefully will be getting a YNA from henpecked when they are available as apparently he lives right in tampa bay area as well!
 
There's one as you enter the Safari Park here in San Diego.

There is or was a pair at the San Diego Zoo, "main campus." Hyacinths are strikingly beautiful. Which reminds me it is high time for another visit!
 
I loved that place. I stopped by when I picked up Phoebe in Tampa, wished I had more money and more cargo space to have gotten stuff at the time [emoji17] wish we had a store like that around here, even within a couple state reach, but Tampa is 23 hrs away and I hate FL.

If I didn't spent my disposable income in its entirety on my birds, I might be able to afford the San Diego Zoo. I took the kids last year because somebody gave me tickets, but otherwise it's just out of reach for me to take anybody but myself, and then it's no fun.
 
I went to Everything Birds in Oldsmar yesterday, to get a bunch of new items for our new girl. Wow, that place is huge and great prices. I like that you can actually see the toy before purchasing it.
