No two birds keep the same schedule, so no two care plans should either. Here are our three core services — pick the one that matches your trip, your bird, and your peace of mind.
Daily sitting is for the owner who is gone for the day but not the night. A commute into the city, a back-to-back schedule, errands that swallow a Saturday — we either come to your place here in Ajax or host your bird at our space, and keep them fed, busy, and in company instead of staring at four walls.
Each visit covers fresh food and water, a cage spot-clean, and a solid half hour minimum of hands-on time, capped with a photo straight to your phone. We work inside the routine your bird already knows, right down to the favourite perch and the treat that only comes out at the right moment.
Some trips need more than a drop-in. Overnight boarding gives your bird a genuine evening wind-down and a morning start in a secure room that stays warm and steady even when the lake wind has Ajax sitting well below zero. The lighting follows a natural day-night rhythm rather than a switch flicked on and off.
We deliberately keep the overnight numbers low — fewer guests means calmer birds and more attention to go around. Each one gets its own station stocked with familiar bits from home, and a sitter stays on site through the night, so there is always someone there if a bird stirs.
A two-week vacation, a long work contract, a reno that turns the house upside down — when you are away for a week or more, the extended stay folds everything from overnight boarding into a lower daily rate and adds the time it takes for a bird to actually settle in and bond rather than just bide its time.
Over a longer stay we build out a little routine of its own: foraging puzzles, training kept up, real out-of-cage stretches, and steady socialization. You still get the daily photos and video, and when you collect your bird we hand over a written summary of how the whole stay went.
Made to your bird's own diet sheet and topped up through the day — chop, greens, the right pellet or seed mix, and water swapped out before it ever goes stale.
Spot-cleaned every day and fully sanitized between guests. A clean cage is not a nicety for a bird — it is the difference between a healthy respiratory system and a sick one, so we do not cut corners on it.
Real one-on-one time on the schedule every single day — foraging toys to work at, training kept ticking over, and out-of-cage time to stretch and socialize. A bored bird is an unhappy bird, and we plan against that.
Photos and short clips arrive throughout the stay, so wherever your trip has taken you, checking in on your bird is as easy as glancing at your phone.
Ajax throws everything at a bird — humid lakeside summers, furnace-dry winters — so we hold temperature and humidity in the right band year-round, with full-spectrum lighting that keeps their internal clock on track.
At pickup you walk away with a written rundown of the stay — how the eating went, any behaviour worth flagging, what enrichment landed, and anything else we noticed that you will want to know.
A thumb-sized finch or a full-grown macaw, a single budgie or a whole aviary — the training and the setup are here for just about any companion species you keep.
