Boarding Overview
Welcome to LifeWithParrots! We are a home-based business that offers a quality overnight boarding service providing our boarders with out-of-cage playtime and 12 hours of undisturbed sleep each night. We’ll do everything we can to ensure your bird has the best experience possible and you can feel confident knowing your bird will be properly cared for during their stay.
Boarding Room:
The shared main boarding room measures 20ft x 9ft and is kept around 20 degrees Celsius. We use a Rabbit Air MinusA2 air purifier + industrial floor fan to provide clean air circulation and have a radio playing music throughout the day for entertainment when birds are not out of their cage. If you’d prefer that your bird(s) be housed separately from other boarding birds (if multiple birds are being boarded at the same time) that’s no problem! We have an additional room that your bird(s) can stay in for an extra $6 a night to cover additional heating and lighting. Please note, private boarding room availability is limited and we can only provide small and medium-sized boarding cages for a private room as the large cage will not fit through the door.
What To Bring:
We require that owners bring their bird’s toys and food to keep change to a minimum, helping to reduce the level of stress on your feathered companion. There are a total of 22 boarding cages to accommodate every species of bird to use during their stay (contact for availability) which include perches, and dishes. You’re more than welcome to bring additional cage accessories to add to their boarding cage so they can feel more comfortable and we have a separate fridge/freezer to store fresh/frozen food during their stay. We prefer that your bird stay in one of our boarding cages (as we can guarantee the security of our boarding cages) however, if you’d like to use their own cage, they’ll have to stay in the private boarding room (additional $6 per night) to avoid the risk of escaping and causing injuries.
Booking:
We ask that you book as far ahead for boarding as possible to ensure we have available space, especially for the summer and winter holiday season. We will do our best to accommodate last-minute boarders but can not guarantee that we will be able to house them. If you need to cancel your boarding reservation that’s no problem, just let us know as soon as possible.
Bird Requirements:
- Be in generally good health. Plucking/barbering due to stress, habit, or hormones is acceptable
- Be completely weaned for at least 2 weeks
- Have no open wounds or recent major injuries (occurring within one (1) month before the boarding date)
- Be harnessed or in a carrier when entering and exiting LifeWithParrots

- Multiple birds sharing a cage $14/night per bird
- Private boarding room $6 extra per night per individual/group from the same household
