Boarding
Boarding can be a stressful event for your bird(s). We understand and work to make them as comfortable as possible. We have arranged for the boarding area to be quiet and low stress that is warm, has relaxing music, night lights, and someone to read to them or they can watch cartoons. We serve them the same food and snacks to ensure no disruption in their dietary needs. They are in good hands here at PRH. See for yourself via a camera to see your bird during boarding! Boarding is limited so make arrangements early.
We require that your bird come with a certificate of good health and has been tested for Chlamydiosis for the safety of all.

“They are really really awesome! They watch my two parakeets for me, give them treats,and sent me pictures of the keets. It’s a really nice quiet environment which my parakeets love.”

Grooming
Nail, Beak, and Wing Clipping
Requirements are that your bird has been seen by a veterinarian in the past year. If your bird requires a wing trim, we will use the “skinny” method only. Please submit good health check when scheduling here: https://calendly.com/papayagorescuehouse/wing-and-or-nail-beak-trims
Food Conversion
We can convert your bird from seed to pellet and even gain ground with eating fresh veggies. The first step is taking your bird to a bird experienced or ABVP (Avian Practice) vet to get bloodwork done to ensure they are healthy enough to convert. The stress of a diet change is very real so we need to make sure the vet is on board with the changes and if they want to change the food to convert to for the bird.
Cage Cleaning
Cage cleaning is an important part of your bird’s grooming health. One of the keys to keeping your bird healthy is regular cleaning of your bird’s cage, play stands, and accessories to prevent the growth of bacteria and the spread of diseases. Monthly full scrub down and disinfection are also important. Drying the cage in the warm sun will help to kill bacteria and mites that may be living in the cage.
We offer in-home cage cleaning. To set up an appointment, please send pictures of cages, along with how many to services@papayagorescuehouse.com for details.
Death
