Fifty
Dollars.
Per Cage.
Per Trip.
One flat fee for the whole stay — 3 to 21 nights, same price. A long weekend costs $50. Three full weeks costs $50. Run by Rajan out of a quiet room in Burlington for small caged birds only. Food, water, twice-daily checks, no frills. Up to three budgies share a cage at the same flat rate.

Who Runs This
Rajan. That's who.
Punjabi-Canadian, Burlington local, runs the whole thing out of a quiet room with a bunch of cages in it. No staff, no receptionist, no fancy website chrome. Picks up your bird, feeds it, waters it, gives it back. That is the entire job and Rajan has been doing it for small-bird owners since small-bird owners started getting quoted nine hundred dollars a week at the gentle-nature-caring boarders down the road.
Background: Indian-kid-who-grew-up-with-budgies background. Dad had a pair of lovebirds in Chandigarh before the family moved. Bird instinct runs in the blood. You do not need to pay for a certificate to know when a budgie is fluffed up wrong.
The Stuff You're Not Paying For
No out-of-cage time. Your bird stays in its cage the entire stay.
No photo updates. If something goes wrong we text you. Otherwise, silence is good news.
No video calls. This is not a concierge service.
No enrichment programs. The cage is the environment.
No care journal. You want a journal, keep one at home.

Big birds need enrichment, handling, and room — none of which Rajan provides. That is a different business at a different price.
Three budgies in one cage. Watch what happens when the trip gets longer.
Every Burlington boarder except Rajan charges you per bird, per night — so a longer trip is a bigger bill, always. Rajan charges fifty dollars flat for the whole trip. Three nights or three weeks, the number does not move. Here is the math in four rows.
long weekend away
$45 × 3 birds × 3 nights
flat trip fee
standard vacation week
$45 × 3 birds × 7 nights
flat trip fee
two-week trip home
$45 × 3 birds × 14 nights
flat trip fee
the long haul — still flat
$45 × 3 birds × 21 nights
still the same flat fee
At 21 nights the gap is $2,785. Read the full write-up on why nobody else prices this way →
What Owners Say
"Three budgies in one cage and every other boarder wanted to charge me per bird, per night. Rajan took all three at the flat fifty-dollar trip rate. Whole week, one price. Would have been the same fifty for two weeks. Came home to three happy, well-fed birds."
— Rachel W., Aldershot
"Was quoted sixty dollars a night elsewhere for our cockatiel. Rajan charged fifty for the whole week. Flat. Done. No video calls, no care journal, just our bird in his cage getting fed. Honest people, honest price."
— Tom B., Roseland
