Amir Khela runs Lakeshore Bird Care out of a quiet boarding room in Burlington, about 8 minutes from most Aldershot addresses. Fifty dollars per cage for the whole trip — any length from 3 to 21 nights, same price. Up to three small birds share one cage. No per-bird fees, no photo package add-ons, no weekend premiums, no long drives to Oakville or Mississauga for a boutique avian boarder.
Same price for Aldershot residents as for everyone else in Burlington. No zone surcharges. No travel fee inside the city. No holiday premiums. The Trip Flat Rate is the cheapest option for any stay 5 nights or longer.
Aldershot sits on the west side of Burlington, wedged between Hamilton and Burlington proper, tucked up against the Royal Botanical Gardens. It is the quiet, leafy part of Burlington — big lots, mature trees, a lot of retirees and young families, and the kind of bird-owning households that have kept the same cockatiel for fourteen years and just want a reliable place for it during a trip to Florida.
The short version of why Aldershot bird owners end up at Amir's room: short drive, trip-flat rate, small-bird expertise, no sales pitch. You send the dates through the form, you drop the cage off, you pick it up when you are back. The whole trip costs fifty dollars. Same price whether you are gone for a long weekend or three weeks. No surprises.
“I live a block off Plains Road and Amir is eight minutes from my driveway. I was paying a premium Oakville avian boarder nine hundred dollars a week for my three budgies. Amir charges fifty. Flat. Whole trip. Same cage, same birds, same quiet room. The drive is shorter and the price is about one nineteenth. I am never going back.”
