Here at Currumbin Valley Vet, we are much more than just an exotic animal veterinarian – we offer bird boarding as well. Our Gold Coast bird boarding facilities and expertly trained staff will make sure that your bird is safe, happy and has minimal stress while you are away on holiday.
We have decades of experience with boarding birds of all kinds from Budgerigars to Conures, Cockatiels and Cockatoos – we even have 2 resident Macaws on site! So if you’re looking for a place to board your bird while you’re away, look no further than our exotic animal boarding facility! Here are some reasons why exotic pet boarding is a better option than leaving them with a friend or family member.
Bird Sitting Isn’t Always Easy
There are a number of reasons why you should leave the bird sitting to a professional. Chief among them is their understanding of factors such as bird behaviour, psychology and of course diet. It’s a lot of responsibility to put on a friend or family member and many people aren’t familiar with bird sitting in general.
After all, bird minding is far different from watching your friend’s dog or cat. Dogs need food, water, a couple of walks a day and some affection – depending on the dog of course. Cats are in general a fairly self sufficient animal, they come and go as they please, often rule the roost and probably won’t pay much attention to whether or not their owner is gone – again, depending on the cat.
But when it comes to bird pet sitting, you really need to be on top of your game. Birds have more requirements and needs. They can be easily stressed out while their companion is away. They can and will often rebel as they may not see you as the leader of their flock in the owner’s absence. This can lead to problems with your bird exhibiting stress behaviour such as feather plucking.
Professional parrot boarding will help avoid all of this in a number of ways:
- Top quality care with our highly trained bird specialists
- Attention to detail when it comes to environmental and dietary needs
- Top notch boarding facilities
- Plenty of play time
- Opportunity to socialise with other birds
Gold Coast and Brisbane Bird Boarding – Bird Sitting Services
We have had animals over the years end up in our surgery because the owner decided to leave them in the care of a friend or family instead of trusting in professional bird boarding services. In the end, it isn’t the fault of the friend, it’s the fault of the owner. The last thing you want is to come back from your extended holiday only to find out that your animal companion has died because of incomplete/improper care or even an accident.
Sadly, we have heard many stories over the years of a loving owner losing their life companion simply because another animal got loose and killed the bird while the friend that was parrot sitting was at work. We offer bird sitting services that will make sure that this scenario will never happen to you.
