The staff here were so incredibly accommodating and kind to me during the holiday season, while they were busy, that it was incredibly moving to me. They make me proud to live in this neighborhood. Thanks for the gift wrap that you brought me.

Wonderful selection! I found dishes that I have been searching for for many years. I find something I want to buy whenever I am in this shop! The owner is extremely courteous and helpful; she recently helped me complete a purchase very quickly with no notice - include wrapping & packing up 12 fragile items and she kindly accommodated my technology incompetence with payment. I always have a great experience here. A Rare Bird is a true neighborhood gem and is definitely worth a visit!

This is a great place to find something truly unique that will set your home or garden apart from the crowd.
