Its impossible to find orchids in COS other than your grocery store and garden center Phaleanopsis. But then my brother and I discovered this gem. The owner, Mike, is super nice, and carries a large selection of many species of orchids--even the impossible-to-find jewel orchids. He also has a huge variety of exotic houseplants too. The prices are very reasonable, and the store is so enjoyable just to browse all the beauty. Plus, he has the best selection of decorative pots in town! And he carries orchid supplies like moss, pots, and other growing media. I have to be careful how often I go because I always spend a fortune!
I love Mike and his team. What a great store for your orchid and bird supplies. Great selection of plants in bloom and pots to place them in. Super knowledgeable staff. Dont forget to check the bargain area for great deals on out of bloom plants that have been traded in.
Excellent birding supplies, and knowledge on birding and orchid/houseplant care.The ‘Bear Necessities’ seed blend is excellent, and you can buy it in a cloth bag that’s refillable.They have both common and more uncommon/rare orchid varieties here for a range of prices as well as a nice variety of small houseplant pots in lots of colors and shapes.
Aways get such service here employees are knowledgeable and friendly
This is such an adorable little shop! There are so many amazing bird baths, plants, and tons of bird seed. I purchased the cutest little dark orchid and she is such a little diva! I love her so much already.
Just wonderful. Great selection of beautiful and healthy orchids and other houseplants, as well as several kinds of bird feeders and seed blends. Staff was super helpful, knowledgeable and kind.
Great variety of Orchids and bird feeders and bird seed. Looking for more opportunities to stop on and see the variety in different stages of blooms.
Highly recommend. The owner gladly helps with heavy purchases EVEN if hes busy. Quality!
Michael knows orchids, and has a great variety of food for the critters
My boss sent me to Songbird & the Orchid for some gift baskets for his business vendors. I brought 2 bottles of wine to be added to each basket. I cannot say enough about how beautiful these baskets turned out. Everyone in the store was over the top helpful and friendly. I’m sad that I didn’t know Songbird/Orchid existed sooner because I would shop there all the time! Highly recommend you check it out!
My go to bird shop in town! I stop in every couple weeks for some seed and peanuts, and I am always remembered! The owner always asks how my bird friends are doing and always has fun facts about different species! The seed itself is AMAZING. My birds LOVE it and its nice to know it is locally sourced and mixed! It has definitely brought way more birds to my yard and is way more cost effective than seed from other spots in town. Plus they have SO. MANY. PLANTS. The atmosphere is great and I am so thankful I stopped in here! If you have wild feathered friends, then this is the place for you!!!!
Love coming here beautiful different kind of orchids, Im always amazed by their beauty, and plus they have bird seeds for my bird feeder that we got from here. The owner is super friendly.
So much more on the inside than it looks from the outside. Lovely store. Great quality birdseed. Lots of great plants, gifts, accessories... Clean, friendly, its a Westside gem!
Fabulously stocked w birdseed (locally mixed!), bird feeders, and great house plants!! Extremely knowledgeable staff & good covid precautions. Will visit again. For sure!
I highly recommend this place for any plant lover! Michael is such a welcoming and sweet individual. He is very reassuring when it comes to beginners and always makes sure you know how to properly care for your newest additions. He has some beautiful and great quality orchids but also carries some cool, unique plants as well. My boyfriend and I love coming here and will continue to do so!
Knowledgeable staff, wonderful selection, delightful store
Great selection of bird seed, outdoor decor items, and very friendly folks! Quite the gem.
Such a fun store to check out. Very friendly and passionate staff!
Im from Ohio and staying up in the mountains, I drove out on a whim to pick up bird feed and was greeted at the door with kindness and knowledge on local bird species. I wish I got the gentlemans name who helped my select the right feed; when I visit next year Ill be making the trip to pick up more feed!
Nice variety, vary friendly and informative
I always buy my gift baskets from island orchids!they have a great selection, an excellent value and my clients always love them!
There’s a lot of great things going on in this little house. Run by a passionate local, this place is an absolute gem - you’ll find really rare and stunning orchids in all phases of life at REALLY good prices. The best prices I’ve seen anywhere really, especially for lady slippers, oncidiums, and cattleyas... she’s got something for everyone. There’s also an assortment of unique house plants and whimsical pottery. A great place I’ll be returning to and referring to others! Thank you!
Beautiful selection of green plants and orchids.
Local store with lovely plants, feeders, birdbaths and premium bird seed.
I will be coming back for wedding arrangements. Owner was awesome. Grandmother loved the country yellow flowers, mason jar with rope:
Incredibly supportive of other local small businesses! I own a garden center in Monument, and Michael has been more than willing to help advise both me and my staff on backyard birding. He even recommended the best hummingbird feeders for us to sell, even though that could be considered as competition to his own business! He simply smiled and said, the more folks getting people into backyard birding, the better for us all. He is genuine, and is the type of small business owner that I am proud to have in our community.
Super awesome spot to pick up your bird seed/supplies and they have really cool bird feeders! They now offer beautiful orchids and have sweet exchange/credit process for orchids that arent blooming anymore. Ive always dealt with Michael and hes so down to earth and easy to talk to. He knows his stuff and you can tell hes very passionate about his shop. Support small business!
Lovely selection of orchids and bird feeders. Knowledgeable owner spends time with his customers. Recommend this place!
Friendly and helpful owner and staff. Amazing orchid selection. Great bird seed and accessories.
This place is a dream for orchid lovers.
Great little store! The owner knows a ton about orchids and has a lot of supplemental info about how to get them to rebloom. Wide assortment of orchids, pots, and bird supplies. Great store for gifts!
An amazing shop run by an awesome person with the best products and prices around. You need to support this small business. If you’re not into birding or orchids, you will be by the time you leave this shop. Michael is excellent at what he does and every trip inside his shop is a total joy. I love songbird and the orchid.
Great shop for all of your backyard birding needs, along with small gift items and a beautiful selection of Orchids. Something for everyone! Great service and easy to get to.
Extremely knowledgeable owner and employee. Helpful, patient with customers. Huge selection of orchids and bird supplies.
This store is so wonderful for backyard birdwatchers. Michael, the owner, is friendly and knowledgable, and he keeps a wonderful inventory of bird feeders, bird baths, and accessories. Hell answer any questions you have about attracting certain birds to your yard or getting them to use your feeder. Anyone who feeds the birds should get their seed here because they mix their own blends specially designed for regional birds, and it is SO CHEAP. Seriously, you cannot get it cheaper at Walmart or the grocery store, and its much better quality. The birds have been eating me out of house and home since I started using the Three Little Birds mix. They also sell a mess-free mix for those in bear country.
Great shop with beautiful orchids and pots. Owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. His advice saved one of my orchids which is now growing like crazy and has a new flower stem forming.
For over a year now, weve been visiting this shop on roughly a weekly basis. Its one of my favorite local businesses.The location is beautiful, tucked behind Summerland Gardens, and the shop is well-stocked with feeders to suit your needs no matter what birds frequent your yard. Youll also find an eclectic selection of high quality, bird-themed gifts(which are pretty much the best gifts). And, of course, theres the seed!Michael, the owner, has devised his own blends and for my wife and I the results have been fantastic. Our feeders are by far the most popular in our neighborhood. Whats more is Michael is super knowledgeable and helpful, always taking time to answer our questions and ensuring we leave with the proper blend. We have bears where we live, and hes been great about suggesting practices so we can all coexist.I dont write many reviews, but Songbird Supplies is just exactly the type of business I want to support. -- locally owned by a conscientious shopkeeper with a legit concern for Colorados incredible wildlife. We take our birds pretty serious in my household, and were glad to have found Michael and his shop.
Michael is the best...he knows his plants and the birds to be fed. Fun stuff!
Island Orchids is the best place to buy Orchids and gifts for your loved one. Mary the owner is an authority on the huge variety of Orchids for sale which are shipped overnight from Hawaii. The prices are reasonable and affordable yet the gift will be unique and very, very beautiful.
Michael, the owner, always has birdseed blends tailored for birds found in the local area. His advice has always been on target. You cant find a better combination of service and product anywhere in the Springs area.
I have been a customer for several years and am pleased with the quality of the product and the customer service. Always a pleasure to visit.
Beautiful orchids & staff...love the buy back policy😉
The bird seed man, Michael, merged with the orchid place last year. I go for the bird seed and squirrel food. Michael is so friendly and helpful and now the place smells beautiful with all the lovely orchids.
The owner and staff are really knowledgeable and happy to assist you. Their plants, bird supplies and accessories are wonderful.
I buy all my gift baskets here. They have a fantastic selection and the owner and staff are always super friendly and helpful!
Ive been to this little bird store several times in the last couple of months and I have been really impressed, not only with the stuff they sell - feeders, bird seed, etc. but also the way they treat me. The owner (and his Mom) are really nice and knowledgeable about the local birds - what the birds like, etc.I highly recommend this local gem!
Beautiful selection of orchids, helpful advice and recommendations on plants and birds.
Awesome orchids. Owner very nice.
The owner, Mary is such a nice lady. Very nice employees!
I love Island Orchids! They are a wealth of orchid information and are always helpful!
The owner is very knowledgeable about his products and what will work in my neighborhood. And his prices are great!
Lots of great local feeders. Owner is very friendly, knowledgable and has a great selection of hand mixed seeds at a great price!
Very friendly and helpful! Great shop.
Update: the owner Mary did finally return my call, after I had to leave two more messages.After speaking with her I understand why her Mgr and driver were as unprofessional as they were, its because Mary sets the example.A very superior, condescending unapologetic attitude.Refused to take responsibility for employees or the incorrect arrangement.Insisted her driver has the right to make any comments she chooses .Are these people out of their minds?!If you have pets shop here at your own risk.***************************My daughter ordered flowers for me and had them delivered on Mothers Day.The wrong bouquet was sent.A much smaller bouquet!OkThe store said they would send out the correct bouquet.OkThey did, 1 week and 2 days later, AND IT WAS STILL WRONG !OkNot only that, the delivery driver made a huge deal that my dogs were barking. Said they were crazy and she was scared.Not Ok!I told her its a good thing shes on this side of the fence then.I thought the drivers comments were rude and inappropriate so I called the store and spoke with the Mgr. who defended the driver and her words.She said the driver has a right to be scared, I agreed, she does, just keep it to herself. Her comments were unnecessary.My dogs did not attack her, they barked.The Mgr continued to argue with me so I asked to speak to the owner, she said she wasnt there but took my info.Well see if I get a call with an apology.
Great and friendly service but small inventory.
