So in august my company says I need to go to training out of state. I immediately looked for a boarding place for parrots and hit the jackpot. Its birds only actually parrots only, each flock that lives together can have their own suite with sanitized cages and accessories. You can bring their favorite toys, radio, etc. Lights on a timer to match the sun. All the suites have windows to check the birds even just passing by but they will interact with them to keep them entertained as well. Also free homemade chop every morning
I have a CAV appt on the 14th so they will be allowed in. They require at least a vet check a year, I do it every 6 months anyways.
I'm not going to advertise the place name because I haven't even checked them in yet but I'm impressed.
The reason for the post is:
1) to anyone that has boarded a bird for a week about what toys do you recommend, the ones they always use or throw in some of the stuff they usually ignore
2) would you include a battery powered radio for the staff to put on background music? They don't include, but say (even on website) they will turn it on and off when needed.
3) I can bring my cage but theirs are awesome would conures feel safer in their own? Still probably gonna let them use theirs but interesting thought.
4) to any previous boarders any stress or resentment after being boarded or was it they are like that was fun, glad you're back...
5) If you boarded a bird before, did it develop any bad habits or learn anything you wish it would unlearn?
6) I would encourage staff to take my birds out etc. but I don't know the full protocal on that, I like them to be more social with new people. Zod is pretty good but if I'm in the room clark will dart back to me. Any opinions on that? Also I tested positive for cornona in may no symptoms, then a week later was cleared back to work so pretty sure my birds are immune on that. The only thing would be bird diseases transferred (hence you need a vet visit prior). Any thoughts welcome, they will be around them anyways so inevitable if their is a sick bird.
Thank you in advance,
This is all new to me and I think I got lucky but any and ANY advice is appreciated. Its the furthest I will be from my flock for more than say 13 hours since I got them.
