Important Update for Our Upcoming December Busy Season! 🦜✨

While my daytime job has allowed us to hold our prices firm through most of 2026, our operational running costs have risen significantly over the past 3 months. To maintain the highest quality of care, our rates will adjust slightly starting December 1st, 2026.

🎄 Note: All boarding spots already booked for December will completely remain at the original rate from when they were booked!

Here is our updated pricing lineup:

🏡 Boarding Service Rates
*One bird $22/day
*Multiple birds NOT sharing a cage $20/day per bird
*Multiple birds sharing a cage $17/day per bird
*Oral medication fee $6/day extra per bird
*Elmo's fresh chop $2–$5/day extra per bird (depending on size of bird)

Special discounts available for seasonal stays (90+ days) or boarding 4 or more birds

🐾Additional pet boarding (not applicable for discounts)
*Small animal boarding $22/day
*Dog boarding

Farewell summer, hello fall! 🍂 Wow, what a busy season it was this year! We had a record-breaking 26 birds boarding at once on July 4th, and 23 on August 2nd. Thank you to all of our new and returning clients for trusting us with your feathered companions this summer. We loved meeting so many new friends and reuniting with familiar faces we haven't seen in years!

Now that the seasons are changing and we're heading into cozy season, here are a few updates:

🥦 Fresh Chop Add-On
Many of you have asked if we can supply fresh food, as produce brought from home often doesn't last an entire stay without spoiling. We are excited to announce that we will now offer fresh chop once daily for an extra $2–$5/day per bird (depending on size). Your bird will get to enjoy the exact same high-quality chop that Elmo, our Eclectus, eats! Our ingredients rotate regularly but always include a raw mix of 4 to 6 different bird-safe fruits and veggies.

🗓️ Streamlined Pricing (Per Day vs. Per Night)
To keep things simple and consistent, we are shifting all of our rates to a per-day basis rather than per-night. Because add-ons like medication and fresh chop are managed daily, matching the boarding rate to a daily schedule streamlines everything.
Moving forward, our boarding rates, medication fees, and fresh chop fees will be calculated per calendar day, regardless of your drop-off or pick-up time within our standard 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM hours. Please note: This will not affect currently scheduled stays, it will only apply to new bookings moving forward.

🎄 The Holidays are Coming!
As the end of the year quickly approaches, so does the holiday season! We are already 30% booked for the Christmas season, so if you plan to travel, now is the time to reserve your bird's spot.

Please note that we will be closed on Christmas Day (December 25th) so that we can spend the holiday with our family and flock. No drop-offs or pick-ups will be available on this day, so please plan your booking dates just before or after the 25th!

We hope everyone had a wonderful summer and enjoys the beautiful fall scenery that Nova Scotia has to offer! 🍁

Parrot lungs are super delicate so whenever people have to spray for pest control, it's best to remove all the birds from the home for at least 24-48hrs afterwards to ensure that the flock is safe and sound.

This beautiful flock of 4 got to hang out for a couple nights while their home was being treated and they loved flying around and meeting new friends during their short stay!
