Help Launch “Larry’s House Of Birds”
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
My name is Lorenzo, though most know me simply as Larry. For as long as I can remember, animals have brought me pure joy:
In particular, birds that capture my heart.
Let me introduce you to Chippy, my beloved Dutch blue lovebird. He’s more than a pet—he’s family. My connection with Chippy opened a world I’ve grown deeply passionate about: exotic birds. In my city, there’s a local bird store I frequently visit, where I’ve developed a special bond with three beautiful and extremely intelligent birds—Clifford, the charming white cockatoo, Oscar, the wise African grey parrot, and Jasper, the majestic Hyacinth macaw. They’re part of a much larger feathered family that has truly inspired me. Now, I’m ready to turn that passion into something bigger:
Larry’s House of Birds (Yes—like Larry Bird. Shoutout to the legend!)
This isn’t just a business venture. It’s a heartfelt mission to create a welcoming, educational, and community-focused space dedicated to exotic birds and small exotic animals.
What Is Larry’s House of Birds?
Larry’s House of Birds will be a warm, welcoming space where people can:
• Adopt beautiful, well-cared-for exotic birds
• Learn proper care, handling, and training
• Connect with a community of bird lovers
• Explore small exotic pets like reptiles and amphibians
It’s more than a store—it’s a sanctuary for people and animals alike. Think of it as a bird sanctuary meets neighborhood pet shop—full of life, learning, and love.
Why Include Reptiles & Other Small Pets?
Not everyone is ready for a parrot—and that’s okay! By offering low-maintenance exotic pets like bearded dragons, geckos, and iguanas, we make nature more accessible to kids, first-time pet owners, and curious families. This variety also makes our shop more sustainable long-term—which is key for any small business.

• $25,000 – Startup Operations & Delivery Setup
• $15,000 – Marketing, Website & Branding

This Means So Much to Me This isn’t just about opening a store—it’s about sharing something meaningful.

It’s a place for families, kids, hobbyists, and anyone who’s ever been curious about the world of exotic pets.
