Your parrot stays home. I come to them.
I care for your bird in its own home, keep its routine steady, and send you photos and videos while you're away.

Hi, I'm David.
I started David's Parrot Care because parrots deserve care that recognizes how extraordinary they are.
Parrots are intelligent, emotional, deeply social animals. They need far more than a clean cage and a full food bowl. Their lives are shaped by their surroundings, their relationships, and the choices their people make for them every day. Understanding those needs takes patience, curiosity, and real attention.
That's how I approach every visit. Before you leave, I come meet your bird and learn their routine, their diet, and their quirks. While you're away, I keep their day as close to normal as I can, and I send you photos and videos so you can see for yourself how they're doing.
I've cared for hundreds of parrots in their own homes, from parakeets and lovebirds to Senegals and beyond. Every parrot has a personality, a history, and its own way of experiencing the world. My work starts there.

"Cannot recommend David enough! David was kind, considerate, and incredibly knowledgeable on bird care. He sent multiple pictures and videos a day, and took the time to get to know the personality of my birds so that he could provide the best care for them." Dana L. · Client review

Micah F. · Client review
"It's difficult to find someone who truly knows parrots and can care for them. A few days before we left for our trip, David came over to meet Eleanor and get acquainted."
