Bird boarding · Ottawa

Small-bird boarding in Ottawa without a crowded kennel feel.

For owners who need multi-day care while travelling, Ottawa Bird House offers a small-capacity home setting in Kanata with a three-day minimum and a booking review before any stay is confirmed.

  • Home-based small-capacity boarding
  • Bring the bird’s familiar cage whenever possible
  • Daily-photo option available at no extra charge
  • Pickup can be requested and is quoted separately

Boarding for the birds we are set up to handle

We mainly accept budgies, cockatiels, lovebirds, finches, canaries and similar small parakeets. Another species can still be submitted through the request form, but the setup and price need manual review.

Households stay separate

Birds from different households are not intentionally placed together or asked to share a cage. If multiple birds already live together safely, they can be included on one request. The standard $10/day rate applies to up to two cohabiting accepted small birds.

Before a boarding stay is accepted

We review the dates, species, number of birds, recent health history, medication needs, diet and routine. The request is not a confirmed reservation until those details and capacity are accepted.
