Our Mission
At Badi Pet Care, we love all animals, but ESPECIALLY parrots. We welcome all your feathered family members with open arms, no matter their mood, temperament or attention requirements. The goal is to make your companion feel at home by inviting them into ours; they form part of our own animal family. At Badi Pet Care, your feathered friends can expect the following:
- They are integrated into one of two flocks. The flock choices are based on size, personality, confidence, attitude, destructive capability and above all the SAFETY of your bird as well as the flocks’. Some birds need a quieter flock, but sometimes we do not integrate them at all because they are just too nervous or overwhelmed. These birds will be housed in their own, safe space.
- All our guests get heaps of playtime outside their enclosures in safe, secure environments because we believe that they need loads of interaction, exercise and FUN! We feel that flocking and foraging are important natural behaviours that need to be stimulated. They also receive time outside in the garden (within their enclosures) if the weather permits it.
- Fresh food is given twice a day (at a minimum), with healthy snacks in between. Fruits, vegetables, healthy (cooked) grains and sprouts form the base of our feeding regime. Pellets and/or a small amount healthy seed mix is given as a dinner meal, but if your companion has any specific dietary requirements you are welcome to discuss it with us and we will adapt accordingly. We do not encourage the feeding of a high content/only sunflower seed diet!
- We also provide services such as diet conversion. Many of our clients request help to convert their birds’ diets to healthier ones. Many people feed a poor diet because they simply do not know any better, but once they learn what their feathered friend is supposed to eat, they quickly make the decision to switch to a more balanced diet. However, convincing a bird that it suddenly needs to start eating fruit and vegetables can be tricky, which is why we take have opted to take care of the conversion for you.
We are constantly trying to evolve along with our clients’ needs; improving our home to provide a better experience for our guests is a continuous goal for us. If you are in need of our services or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
