History
Established in 1984.
Nancy Prester began breeding and selling birds in 1975. She originally bought seed to make her renowned Deluxe Seed Mix from Wall Seed Company which was owned by Orlando Wall. When Mr. Wall retired, Nancy and her husband Hal bought the seed store in 1984. In 1985 they raised their first large parrots which were Umbrella Cockatoos. In 1996 Nancy decided to change the business' name to Birds of Paradise in order to relate to more customers. The business moved three times on Washington St. in downtown Wichita, Kansas before moving to south Woodlawn Blvd. in 2006. Over the years Nancy has hand raised hundreds of birds and sold thousands. In Nancy's eyes, the best part of being a small business owner is the longterm relationships that you form with your customers. "I've watched their children grow up and have families of their own. I still see birds that I raised 25 years ago or more coming to the store for grooming. Some of our closest friends started as customers."
On October 15, 2024, Nancy Retired. Employee's John Zimmerman & Angela Taggart bought the business on October 16, 2024, and plan to keep the business going!
