Please ask about small pet boarding
Birds notice everything: a draft, a new sound, a changed routine. A short checklist and a familiar cage go a long way, and this page explains what the veterinary references say about keeping a pet bird comfortable.
Booking a bird stay
Birds are among the small pets the kennel accepts, along with rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and rats. Call or send a request through your online account. The kennel confirms every reservation, and the boarding agreement is completed once.
Because no bird price is on the 2026 sheet, please ask for a quote. Drop-off and pick-up run 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM, and check-out is by 11:30 AM.
What to bring
- Your bird's own cage, since a familiar cage keeps the stay calm and the kennel may ask you to provide it
- Enough of your bird's usual seed or pellets for the whole stay plus extra
- A written note of daily amounts, treats, fresh foods and anything your bird must not have
- Favorite perches and toys, marked with your name
- Any medication, with written instructions
Location and temperature
The Merck Veterinary Manual advises against keeping a cage near windows or air conditioning vents, because those spots can become too hot or too cold, and notes that birds do well at temperatures comfortable to people. Lafeber, an avian veterinary education site, adds that birds cannot handle quick changes in temperature and that cold drafts near the cage should be avoided. When you book, ask where your bird will be kept.
Sleep and light
Lafeber notes that birds need about 12 hours of light and 12 hours of sleep. Tell staff your bird's usual routine, including whether the cage is normally covered at night. The Merck Veterinary Manual says most birds should not be covered at night, so follow what works for your bird and say so.
Scented products and fumes
Bird airways are very sensitive to airborne toxins, according to Lafeber, which is why it recommends unscented products around birds. If your bird reacts to cooking fumes or scents at home, mention it when you book.
