Super entertaining, and delightful. Julie's a fantastic performer, great at improv, funny, positive and obviously cares so much for those birds. My kids and I saw them twice at the library, and both times were highly entertaining and high quality performance. My son even said "I learnt something from the show!" referring to how birds talk in their throats. Wonderful performance, highly recommend.

Easily the best party entertainment I've seen. The kids' beaming faces said it all. The adults' faces were beaming, too! I saw them today at my friend's kid's birthday party (her second time hiring them) and was so impressed with how much entertainment was packed into the time. I also loved that there was an educational opportunity to teach kids about respecting and taking care of the birds. When I asked my son about his favorite part of the party today he quickly said, "The birds!" Thank you Happy Birds for a wonderful time!

Would highly recommend Happy Birds to any parents out there! Communicating with Julie was such a breeze and they came on time as promised. The kids and adults were happy and couldn't stop talking about the performance of the birds. Julie did an excellent job keeping the kids engaged and entertained as well! Everyone had a wonderful time thanks to Julie, Ed and the truly happy birds! Thank you!

The crew came out for my son's 5th birthday in the park. They were very responsive, kind and very easy to plan and book the event. They brought six beautiful birds as shown in the pictures and did a fantastic job entertaining both kids and adults alike! The kids were thrilled and laughing throughout and both kids and adults had plenty of time to hold the birds and enjoy taking pictures.
All the birds did great with their tricks and their kisses were adorable. One of them sang rhymes even. I would highly encourage parents looking for a fun party event for small kids to go with this team.

Julie and Ed were amazing! We hired them for our child's 6th birthday. Great communication prior to the event. They arrived on time and the kids (and parents) had a blast! Julie is a funny host and the 6 birds each had their own unique talents. The kids were able to hold the birds (perched on their arm) at the end of the show. Everyone said it was the best party they've been to. What a blast! Different and new for they guests :) thanks for a wonderful time!

Happy Birds hosted my child's virtual 8th birthday party and knocked it out the park, exceeding expectations! From my initial event inquiry, Julie and Ed provided thoughtful responses and really helped narrow my party choices. We opted for the video party invite and the standard package. The invite turned out so fun and just the right snapshot to give our party attendees a sneak peek at what to expect.
The virtual party was joyful, informative, hilarious and silly. Our attendees were mesmerized and engaged with so many questions that Julie and Ed patiently answered. Parents sent me messages during and post show about how captivated and excited their kids were about the birds. Could not recommend it more as it was the most delightful virtual party experience.

We had hired Happy Birds for our kids 5th bday party. This show was the highlight of our party. There were around 40 kids and 50 adults, the bday party was held at Napredak Hall Sanjose. Everone at the party, had loads of fun watching birds do activities, like pushing shopping carts, riding cycles, singing songs. All the kids got turn to hold the birds on their shoulder or on their arms.
The bday boy got to feed the birds too, these lovely birds and their care takers did an excellent job to make all of us happy, even the Napredak Hall management liked the show very much! They live by their name, "Happy Birds" indeed.

We recently hosted a kids birthday party and had Happy Birds provide the entertainment. It was the best decision we could have made! The handlers are professional, kind, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. They kept the audience engaged the entire time. The kids loved it! I would highly recommend this company for any event. Our theme was Wild Kratts so having macaws there fit perfectly with the theme. They are COVID safe as well. Can't recommend this company enough!

We were planning a small backyard birthday party for my kid and google searched for entertainment. Randomly saw this company and glad I did! I had a bird as a child and think they're beautiful. They had good communication, easy deposit, and arrived on time. Practices distancing and masks. They were very nice with the kids and the birds are super cool. It reminded me of the old bird show at Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo. A lot of interaction and photo ops. Would hire them again!

I am very pleased that I came across Happy Birds. I threw a virtual birthday party for my son and Happy Birds was the right choice. My son and his friends were entertained watching the birds sing, talk, ride bikes and scooters as well as walking away learning some things that we didn't know about all the parrots. My son especially loved learning that parrots have bones in their tongues.
Thank you Julie and Ed for such a great show! I will definitely be recommending you to our group of other NYC parents whose children have birthdays coming up and are looking for something during their zoom events.

We saw the Happy Birds Show at Tully Library in San Jose before Covid. The show was great, so entertaining & funny, my kids were captivated the whole time (about an hour). I contacted Happy Birds to book a show for a small group. They were very responsive and had lots of information about their show and how to make it work in a social distance setting. Unfortunately for personal reasons we couldn't go ahead with the booking but I'm hoping we can host them at another event in the near future.

Hands down, one of the best virtual birthday entertainment options out there. Great for ALL ages and cultures. Communication was excellent leading up to the big day, and the virtual show went without any hiccups. Everyone was enjoying it, and LEARNING too. Julie was a great presenter with the birds, and very engaging! Audience was very captivated and both the parents and kids loved it. I highly recommend Happy Birds!

Oh my gosh! They were the best performer's I've had at our holiday event, ever. If you want to amaze both adults and children, they are it! We had close to 300 people at our local elementary school and they were amazing to work with. All the families were smiling and enjoying the show - the parrots can sing, bicycle, do magic tricks, you name it! They were very patient and attentive to our audience as well. Thank you so much for a wonderful event!

I just celebrated my Coed- baby shower on Sunday and hired happy bird for entertainment portion of my party. They showed up on time, very professional, and polite. The show was amazing. You could interact with the birds, hold them, and take pictures with them. It was a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed. I highly recommend their service for any type of parties (kids or adult). Every one will enjoy these beautiful birds and watching the amazing show.

Hired them for our daughter's 1st birthday party. Super timely, kept in touch w/ us throughout the morning (prior to event) and just before they arrived. We had 60+ guests in our living room, 28 of them children, plus the talented birds & trainers. Everyone was on the edge of their seats & not one child seemed fearful. They had the kids volunteer throughout the show & allowed all guests to take pictures with the birds after the show.
The whole show was well coordinated & wonderfully entertaining. These birds were smart, beautiful, well trained & loved. It is my understanding that they are all personal pets of the husband & wife team. Not sure how we will top it for Birthday #2.
