A Decade of Caring for Richmond Hill's Birds

After 10 years of keeping exotic birds in Richmond Hill, our founder saw a need that was not being met. Local bird owners had plenty of options for dog and cat care, but virtually none for their feathered companions. The few services that did exist often lacked the species-specific knowledge required to properly care for parrots, cockatiels, and other companion birds.

Avian Haven Richmond Hill was founded to fill that gap. We set out to create a bird sitting and boarding service built on genuine expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep respect for the intelligence and sensitivity of companion birds. From day one, our goal has been simple: provide the level of care we would want for our own birds.

Today, we serve bird owners across Richmond Hill, from the established neighbourhoods near Richmond Green to the growing communities around Oak Ridges and Bayview Hill. Every client receives the same standard of transparency and professionalism that has been our foundation since the beginning.

Our professional approach to bird care at Avian Haven Richmond Hill

How We Care for Your Bird

Every bird that enters our care goes through a structured onboarding process. We begin with a detailed consultation to learn about your bird's diet, routine, medical history, and behavioural quirks. This information forms the basis of a personalized care plan that our team follows precisely throughout the stay.

We believe that great bird care is built on consistency and observation. Our team monitors each bird's eating habits, activity levels, and overall demeanour daily, noting any changes and adjusting the care plan as needed. You will receive regular updates so you always know your bird is thriving.

  • Detailed intake consultation covering diet, routine, medical history, and behavioural notes
  • Personalized care plan created before your bird's first day with us
  • Consistent daily routine including feeding, enrichment, and supervised out-of-cage time
  • Daily health monitoring with documented observations on eating, droppings, and activity
  • Regular photo updates and a comprehensive care log shared at pickup
