Bird Boarding Services at AF Pampered Paws
Why Choose Our Bird Boarding Services
At AF Pampered Paws, we understand that birds are as much a part of your family as any dog or cat. Our bird boarding services are designed to be safe, comfortable, and tailored to the unique needs of your feathered companions. We provide individual cages or aviary-style accommodations, depending on the type and social nature of each bird.
Our staff has experience caring for parrots, canaries, finches, budgies, cockatiels, and more. They are trained in bird behavior, nutrition, environmental enrichment, and stress reduction. During their stay, your birds get plenty of attention, fresh food, clean water, and ample perching options. We ensure cage hygiene with daily spot-cleaning and full replacements of bedding and liners. We also maintain consistent feeding schedules that match the routines your birds are used to at home.
Our indoor boarding facilities are climate-controlled year-round to maintain optimal temperature and humidity. This means your birds are protected from drafts, extreme temperatures, and sudden weather changes. We also monitor light cycles to help minimize stress – especially important for species sensitive to daylight changes. Birds receive supervised out-of-cage time when safe and appropriate, allowing them to stretch their wings under gentle staff watch. Every bird in our care receives a personalized boarding plan.
This includes dietary instructions (e.g., pellets, fresh fruits and vegetables, seed mixes), behavioral preferences (foraging toys, noise levels), and any special needs such as medications or wing clipping. We also welcome your instructions for your bird’s preferences, including favorite perches or toys. All daily care activities are documented and shared in a care log or emailed to you, so you know exactly how your bird is doing throughout its stay.
Comfortable Accommodations and Enrichment
Our boarding spaces are designed to feel like home, helping your bird relax and enjoy the stay for 250 words. We offer a variety of cage sizes, from single-bird to paired or group aviaries, depending on proper compatibility. Every enclosure includes sturdy perches, natural foraging toys, cuttlebones, and swings to support physical health and mental stimulation. Depending on your bird’s routine, we can provide bathing opportunities with dishes or misting. Daily cleanings are discreet and thorough, and we refresh food and water multiple times each day. We also carefully monitor feather conditions, appetite, droppings, and behavior. Any concerns are addressed promptly with you.
Our enrichment activities include music during waking hours, gentle social interaction, and supervised exploration time in bird-safe common areas. These spaces are quiet, free of common household hazards, and offer visual stimuli like safe plants, mirror toys, and climbing ladders. For parrots or larger species, we can offer puzzle feeders and shredding toys to encourage natural behavior. Each bird receives tailored attention – whether it’s a finch group enjoying soft chirping music or a lovebird offered one-on-one playtime.
Health and Safety Measures
Safety and well-being are our main priorities while your bird is with us. We strictly follow these practices to ensure high-quality care:
- Up-to-date health checks and screening, including a baseline exam before boarding
- Isolated bird areas to prevent cross-contamination
- Daily logs of appetite, energy, and droppings
- Immediate notification for any health concerns, with optional vet coordination
- Trained staff adept at safe handling, clipping nails or wings if previously arranged
We keep secure, lockable cages and backpack carriers for any transport needed. Our enclosures are made from smooth, non-toxic materials and are kept away from drafty vents or loud noise areas. We disinfect surfaces and accessories regularly using bird-safe solutions. In the event of medical needs, we can administer oral or topical medication per your instructions or in consultation with your avian vet.
Regular wellness checks during the stay help us identify stress or discomfort, and we adjust care – including diet, out-of-cage time, or added enrichment – to create a calm, positive environment. We also offer a complimentary daily social update or picture so you can stay connected with your bird’s experience with us.ing approach.

Comfortable Accommodations and Enrichment
Planning for your bird’s stay? Our process is straightforward and driver of peace of mind.
We begin with a consult to discuss your bird’s breed, diet, health, routines, and behavior. At this time, we ask for:
- Proof of recent avian health check (within the past year)
- A list of current diet, including brands and measurements
- Details of any medication or special care your bird needs
Once that’s in place, we schedule your bird’s stay on dates that work for you, offer a pre-boarding drop-off orientation, and answer any questions about logistics or travel arrangements. On arrival, we introduce your bird calmly, show you the space, and walk through the care plan. We encourage you to provide familiar items: toys, perches, blankets, or even a small recording of usual household sounds.
Throughout the stay, our staff updates you with text or email check-ins, including photos or videos if you’ve requested. On pick-up day, we do a hand-off summary, sharing any changes in appetite or behavior. We also provide a complimentary freshly washed toy for your bird to help ease the transition home.
Choosing AF Pampered Paws’ bird boarding services means entrusting your feathered family member to a team that values consistency, comfort, and compassionate care.
