Or we can clean it for a $25 fee. Please leave your water dish at home — we’ll use one of ours.
Request one with your reservation so it’s ready when your bird arrives. A $10 one-time cleaning fee applies.

First time boarding? Allow time to fill out a registration form with your bird’s medical history and age. Returning? Let us know about any health changes, such as egg laying, feather plucking or chewing.
Wing & nail trims for birds, bunnies & guinea pigs.
It’s safest to bring your bird in a carrier — and helpful to bring your own towel. For bunny or guinea pig teeth trimming, please consult a veterinarian.
Grooming is by appointment — call (510) 841-7617 to schedule.
