Avian Pet Sitting

Happy Pets cares for all types of pets, including Avian.   We have many years experience in taking care of birds.   I can’t imagine taking my Blue and Gold Macaw to a boarding facility.   The exposure to any bird disease’s are hard to treat or to even diagnose, never mind the cost.   If you would rather your feathered friend stay home while you are away for a business trip or vacation Happy Pets will gladly provide the loving individualized care, you give your bird or parrot yourself, in your own home in the environment your feathered friend is accustomed to.   There will be no upset or stress feathered friend to be worried about while you are away. We provide fresh food and water. Including the cutting up of fresh vegetables and fruits daily, refilling their foraging toys.   Cleaning of the papers in the cage or litter on the bottom.   Misting water daily or changing their bath water.   Birds such as a Cockatiel, Conure or Macaw need daily human interaction, they have feelings too.
