We groom birds, and only birds — which matters more than it sounds, because handling a parrot safely is a different skill from handling anything else, and a bird that has been badly restrained once remembers it.
Start with the limits, not the price list
We do not groom macaws or cockatoos. Not at any price and not as a favour. They are big, powerful birds and doing this badly hurts somebody — the bird, or the person holding it. If that is your bird, we would rather say so now than take the booking.
Extra-large rates apply to large birds such as African greys.
Everything else — budgies, cockatiels, conures, lovebirds, parrotlets, Indian ringnecks, greys, eclectus, pionus, senegals, lorikeets — yes.
What we actually do
Nail trims. The most common reason people call. The sign is not the length of the nail; it is nails catching on your clothes, on your skin, or on the cage bars.
Wing clips. Only if you want one, and we will talk about it first rather than assume. A clip is a decision about how your bird lives, not routine maintenance.
Beak work. A beak that is genuinely overgrown affects how a bird eats, and that is worth fixing. A beak that simply looks long to you often is not — we would rather look and tell you it is fine.
A general look-over while your bird is here, because that is when things get noticed.
How often
Most birds need a nail trim every four to eight weeks. It varies a lot with the bird and with what it perches on, so treat that as a range rather than a schedule. If you are not sure, bring them in and we will tell you honestly whether they need it yet.
Prices and booking
Every price, including the extra-large rate, is on the grooming page — no form, no "contact us for pricing":
Grooming is booked online: pick a 15–30 minute visit in the calendar on our booking page. The limits above are checked when you arrive, and you do not pay for anything until you are happy.
