Amir Khela runs Lakeshore Bird Care out of a quiet boarding room in Burlington, about 10 minutes from most Tyandaga 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 Tyandaga 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.
Tyandaga climbs the north slope of the Niagara Escarpment, overlooking the lake and downtown Burlington from above. It is golf-course neighbourhood territory — big homes, curving streets, the kind of place where the birds live in a sunroom and the owners go away every other month. Amir gets a lot of business from Tyandaga because nobody up there wants to drive to Oakville or Mississauga for a budgie boarder, but they also do not want to pay boutique avian prices.
The short version of why Tyandaga 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.
“We travel a lot and I was tired of paying four hundred dollars every single time for two lovebirds that sit in their cage and eat millet. Amir is ten minutes down the escarpment from us. Fifty dollars flat for the whole trip. Not per bird. Not per night. For the cage, for the trip. Same fifty whether we are gone for a weekend or two weeks. I do not know why nobody else in Burlington prices this way.”
— Elena V., Tyandaga resident, a lovebird pair
Same three budgies in the same cage. Same 10-minute drive for Tyandaga residents. Different boarder.
