We strive to make your bird(s) stay with us enjoyable. Good food, plenty of play &amp; out of cage time, and the opportunity to interact with others of their own kind if they wish.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boarding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we are located on an unpaved road, we are not open to the public, visitation by appointment only, though we do encourage prospective clients to visit &amp; see where your bird would be staying. If you prefer not to drive here transportation back &amp; forth can be arranged &#8211; call for transportation fees as these are subject to change due to fuel prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I require all birds to have been checked by an avian veterinarian within a year of boarding, and I do verify this. This is for the safety of your birds and mine, and I welcome you to verify the status of my birds as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we have a variety of cages for boarders to stay in, if you feel that your bird(s) will be more comfortable in their own cage, we have plenty of room and I can transport cages up to 32 inches deep and 78 inches high. Anything larger will not fit into the aviary door without disassembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FEE SCHEDULE: &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Mini: &nbsp; <\/td><td>$5 <\/td><td>(Less than 40 grams)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Small: &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/td><td>$10 <\/td><td>(40 to 150 grams)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Medium: &nbsp;<\/td><td>$15<\/td><td>(150 to 400 grams)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Large: &nbsp;<\/td><td>$20<\/td><td>(greater than 400 grams)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">*gram weights based on average weights for species. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to board multiple birds in a cage together please contact me for further information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><strong>Contact Us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Phone:&nbsp;<\/strong>(941) 626-8021 &#8211; please text for quickest response<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Email:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:featherchild@icloud.com\">featherchild@icloud.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Located in Punta Gorda, FL<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>You support makes our mission possible.
