Boarding a bird

Does anyone know where I can board a parakeet? Back home pet stores did it, but I have no idea around here. TIA!!!

If you're in Suffolk, call the SPCA; they should be able to tell you. They help us find places for our clients birds but it's a different situation however they should know where you can go.

A family member won't take it? I would hate to see the little guy go to a boarding place.

OMG, how dumb am I? When I saw your post, I thought you meant 'riding' a bird! I was so intrigued that I clicked to see exactly how one would ride a bird, especially a parakeet!!!

I'm such a dumba$$

Why do you need to board your bird? I have finches and have driven with them from MD to NY and they are fine. So if I'm going away for an extended period of time to my FILs, I take them. Although parakeets are more delicate. How far are you going?

Re: Boarding a bird

I've been off the boards for a little while. The reason I need him to be boarded is that we have no family on Long Island and he's not coming on our honeymoon.

No, we don't want to 'ride' him.
