Who is CP Birds?
CP Birds started as a hobby back in 1998. Charlie Plaza, at the age of 14, started his collection of birds in the USA. He purchased his first pet bird, an Indian Ringneck Parakeet from a pet store named Critter's Corner in Casselberry, FL for $175. This is where he met the pet store manager, Jeff, who introduced Charlie to the bird breeder who hatched his pet ringneck. Charlie, as a young kid started working for the bird breeder cleaning cages and assisting her in the labor of breeding birds. Charlie quickly developed a passion for birds as he saw the joy that pet birds can bring to people. Charlie followed his passion for birds and started his long lasting carreer in the pet industry running two of the largest, most successful pet specialty stores know today as Pet Supermarket and Petsmart. What once started as a hobby, CP Birds has become a well known national name in the aviculture community making hand fed, friendly birds more accessible to pet owners.
