Parrot & Bird Boarding
Whilst the company might be called snakes alive we also have experience keeping a wide range of animals and although every animal is different they all require the same amount of care and dedication. For larger birds, parrots and parakeets we own 3 large cages allowing even the biggest parrot to stretch its wings. For smaller birds we would prefer you supply your own cage for the duration of their stay but please discuss if this is not possible. Remember to transport your animal separately in a secure container to prevent injury.
Unlike pet shops we offer care in quiet location away from the public eye. We understand that birds, especially parrots, like company so we will dedicate time interacting with them and leave a radio playing when they are alone. As with all our enclosures cages will be cleaned daily and checked for any maintenance issues. Enclosures are equipped with suitable stimuli and we recommend bringing some of their own toys for familiarity. Whilst we prefer that you supply your pets own food we can provide suitable seed or pellets and fresh fruit subject to dietary requirements. All our animals are inspected daily for illness or injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my pet falls ill? We will contact you as soon as we are concerned with your animal to confirm whether you are happy with us to transport your pet to the vets. If we cannot contact you we will rely on the advice of your emergency home contact so please make them aware of any actions you may wish to undertake. You will be responsible for any vet bills upon your return.
What happens if our flights home are cancelled? We appreciate that things can hinder arrangements, however, if we are informed prior to the collection date we will try to accommodate longer stays where possible and charge this at our normal rate. If we are not informed prior to the collection date then any further stay in our care may be charged at an inflated cost. Please note that if animals are not collected within 10 days of the arranged date without notice or reason then we will assume the animals are abandoned and assume ownership.
