Bird Grooming, Boarding, Testing


At the Golden Cockatoo, we provide numerous services for both the birds and our customers. We do all grooming, DNA and disease testing here at the store. We offer boarding for your birds (birdie camp), provide house calls, baths (pampering) and also do bird shows for parties and corporate events.

Please note that we discontinue all grooming and testing 1 and a half hours prior to closing so we are able to feed our babies and clean the store.

Also, due to our 20' ceiling, you MUST bring your bird in a carrier. This is non-negotiable. All those attempting to bring their bird into the store without a carrier will be asked to leave and come back when they have a carrier. Thank you for understanding our concern for your bird and our birds' safety.
