Talking Talons Thrift Store

Talking Talons Thrift Store stands as a unique gem along the scenic Turquoise Trail in Cedar Crest, New Mexico, where treasure hunting meets wildlife conservation. This distinctive thrift shop operates with a meaningful mission, as proceeds support the rehabilitation and care of birds of prey through the Talking Talons Youth Leadership program. Located at 12159 NM-14, the store offers an exceptional shopping experience where every purchase makes a difference in wildlife conservation efforts. The welcoming atmosphere and carefully curated selection of donated goods create a browsing experience that feels more like exploring a friend's well-organized attic than a typical retail environment.
