Jumanji Pet Store

Jumanji Pet Store in Midland, Texas is primarily an exotic pet shop with a strong emphasis on parrots and birds, though they do maintain some fish tanks on site. Located in West Texas, the locally owned store has carved out a niche as a go-to destination for bird lovers, stocking species like Sun Conures, Indian Ringnecks, and various other parrots. They also carry small mammals including chinchillas, bunnies, tortoises, and mice.

The bilingual staff — many reviews are enthusiastically written in Spanish — takes time to walk customers through the care requirements for each animal they sell. Multiple reviewers noted that employees provided thorough explanations about bird care, diet, and housing before completing a purchase. The store even offers bird sitting services for customers who need to travel, which is a surprisingly practical touch for a small independent shop in the Permian Basin.

Pricing consistently earns praise, with customers noting that Jumanji's rates compare favorably to larger franchise pet stores in the area. The owner has even worked with customers on payment arrangements for higher-priced birds, showing a flexibility that chain stores simply don't offer. That said, the store's reviews reveal a genuine split in customer experience.

While many visitors describe a clean, welcoming environment with healthy, well-socialized animals, a significant number of reviewers have raised serious concerns about overcrowded cages, animals without visible food or water, and birds showing signs of stress like feather plucking. One customer reported receiving a baby Indian Ringneck that was too young to eat solid food and died within a week. Another discovered their parrot was far older than represented at purchase.

Inconsistent store hours have also frustrated customers who've driven long distances only to find the doors locked. Jumanji clearly serves an underserved market for exotic birds in West Texas, and many customers leave genuinely delighted with their purchases. But prospective buyers should visit in person, inspect the animals carefully, and ask detailed questions before committing.
