Pampered Parrot: Behavior Coaching and Boarding

Pampered Parrot more than lives up to its name! It’s like a 5-​star hotel for your birds, only even better! Yes, your beloved pet parrot gets the royal treatment in a beautiful, clean, safe, and light-​filled home setting, plus he or she receives personalized attention from Suzanne. Suzanne is amazingly knowledgeable about parrot health and behavior — and she genuinely loves birds.
It was wonderful to receive emails and photos of our conure, Verdi, while we were away. We certainly missed the little guy, but we felt good knowing that Verdi was having a great little vacation, too.
Suzanne also was kind enough to share advice about the best diet for our Verdi, as well as tips on behavior. She has also recently begun offering parrot toys, and she’s wonderful about recommending the best toys for your particular bird’s personality.
I’m delighted to recommend Pampered Parrot wholeheartedly.

We had our two birds (lineolated parakeet and English budgie) stay with Suzanne while we were away. She is nothing short of amazing! I’m extremely picky about who watches my birds and I felt very at ease with them being in her care. She kept us up to date on how they were doing and sent many pictures. Not only is she an expert on birds, but she goes out of her way to share her knowledge with you. When we came home both of our birds had been out flying around with her budgies and were being very vocal. She also sells some very high quality food mixes she puts together herself as well as toys. I’d definitely recommend her if you need boarding or even for behavioral coaching. We will be using her services again in the future whenever we go away.

Suzanne took excellent care of our cockatiel Ramses. She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable about birds and their behaviors. I didn’t have any worries about leaving him in her care while we were on our cruise, and the updates she sent were a lovely extra. We have several more trips coming up and this is the only place that I feel happy about boarding my bird at. Highly recommend!

Suzanne’s care at Pampered Parrot Boarding is definitely above and beyond. We have used her service many times now for our little lineolated parakeet, and I would now feel a little strange about taking him any other place for boarding. On top of being flexible and very understanding of travel plans and particular bird issues, she clearly loves spending time with birds and always emails us photos and updates while we’re away. She has also been incredibly gracious and generous with her time– we are nearly-​first-​time bird owners, and on several occasions, she has taken time out of her evening to spend an hour with us on the phone giving us knowledgable advice and thoughts about bird behavior and training. She also has given us veterinarian recommendations. Basically, when you introduce Suzanne to your bird, you’re not just getting someone to feed and board your bird, but someone who cares and has a wealth of knowledge to offer.

Great service, medicine was given to my bird daily, and he received more attention than I had even asked for! But was a bit pricy.

Suzanne is simply extraordinary in her vast knowledge and incredible passion while handling the little ones with the utmost in kindness and adoration! Surely, she must be the ‘bird whisperer’ given her intuitive and vast understanding of the many various bird behaviours. After spending much time observing her interacting with the little ones and listening to her share such incredible insights — I have concluded that I… and anyone who finds her… can consider themselves quite fortunate. Within a few consultations I learned more about my bird than all my years of having them. I feel confident knowing my little cockatiel Romeo (yes, she cares for all types!) is safe and sound in her caring hands. Suzanne possesses a pure love and affection for birds and can make a huge difference if you are seeking to have a better relationship with yours. And, for a reasonable cost the advice given through a consultation can enrich the life of your little one — and yours. And, it is so worth it because they are like our children. With great confidence, I can highly recommend Suzanne — I am thanking my lucky stars to have found her! Sincerely, Barbara B

This is the first time we felt comfortable enough to leave our cockatiel at a boarding place. Our bird is our baby — so it was truly important to us that this be the right fit. Suzanne took the time to really get all the information from us about his habits, likes, dislikes, etc as well as to answer all of our questions. Very knowledgeable about birds, she ensured that his environment was a safe one, and he apparently felt safe enough to do some exploring as well!
For the 10 days while we were away, she regularly sent emails including photo updates and tidbits about his day, which truly put our minds and hearts at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry. I always looked forward to reading and seeing the latest updates!
We were also in the process of switching to a new avian vet, and she took the time to make a couple calls on our behalf while we out of the country.
Our cockatiel definitely received 5 star treatment and looked happy and healthy when we arrived home. I wouldn’t hesitate to put him in her care again in the future.

All I can say is WOW! Never have I felt more confident and comfortable while leaving my rescued Pionus, Cricket, with someone before. Suzanne’s level of care is on par with my own (and I’m meticulous when it comes to my baby bird), so I have no hesitation in highly recommending Pampered Parrot Boarding.
Suzanne took extra special care to make sure Cricket was comfortable, especially since our bird is a rescue and can be very timid at times. The first day Suzanne met Cricket, Cricket felt comfortable enough around her to fall asleep, which a scared bird would never do, so that was a huge sign to me that Cricket was in good hands.
Suzanne was also kind enough to send daily updates and pictures to us via email, which, again, helped us feel comfortable that Cricket was truly getting the best care.
My husband and I have always had a hard time leaving Cricket when we go on vacation, but we now have the peace of mind in knowing that when we do have to leave our baby bird behind, she will be getting the same quality care and attention that she gets in her own home. That’s priceless to us!
(but, speaking of which, Suzanne’s prices are very reasonable considering the level of care. Bonus!)

Suzanne took wonderful care of my lovebird and budgie while I was away for a month. My budgie was on antibiotics at the time and Suzanne kept him on his medication schedule and even took him in for his follow up vet appointment. While in her care my birds were given the freedom to fly, fresh food prepared by Suzanne, and much love. I would highly recommend her services, your birds would be in good hands.
