Top Bird Sitting related questions

You can find a bird sitter near you right here on Airtasker! It only takes minutes, plus you can find a pet sitter who fits your budget and needs. If your pet isn’t the only one that needs looking after, we can also help you find available house sitters who can keep things in order while you’re out on your trip or night out.

Airtasker can connect you to bird boarding for common types - exotic birds require more species-specific training. The advantage of a bird sitting service at a nearby facility is that your pet will be in a comfortable and familiar environment. Plus, the pet sitter will be dedicated to their needs, unlike the minders at a boarding facility who need to watch over multiple pets. To request a bird sitter near you, tap the “Post a task” button on this page.

First off, ask your Tasker about their experience in watching over birds, especially birds like yours. You can ask for references in addition to their customer reviews and ratings. Next, ask how they handle pet emergencies. If you have time, ask to schedule a meeting before the actual appointment, so that they can meet your birds and familiarise themselves with your instructions. Lastly, ask for their contact information and don’t forget to give them yours.

First, make caring for your bird easy—prep the supplies, including food and treats. Arrange things in such a way that your pet sitter will be able to feed and give water to your pet regardless of your bird’s temperament or attitude towards the pet sitter. Next, introduce your bird and sitter to each other. Gauge their level of comfort with each other to avoid any accidents that may scare your pet, injure your pet sitter, or cause damage in your home.

What does a bird sitting service include?

Bird sitting services usually cover feeding, cage cleaning, plus treats and playtime for your feathered friend. This involves a Tasker going to your house on a regular basis (e.g. daily or twice a day) to care for your bird. What makes it better than bringing your pet to a boarding facility is that your bird gets to stay in your own home. Plus, your Tasker will be dedicated to their care during their stay. 

 

Though the details may vary depending on your pet’s own needs and the Tasker you hire, here’s what you can expect when you book a bird sitting service through Airtasker:

 

Feeding

The Tasker stops by your house and refills your bird’s supply of food and water. To make sure that what’s left in their dish isn’t just hulls, you should have the container emptied, cleaned, and refilled every time your bird sitter visits. Also, it’s best that you set up your pet’s cage in a way that makes it easy for your pet sitter to feed them without provoking your pet or getting injured. Some birds can be quite territorial, so it’s best you plan the logistics carefully.

 

Cage cleaning

Some Taskers may offer cage cleaning services as well. Your bird sitter swaps out the paper lining their cage and makes sure that your birds don’t put their waste in their food and water bowls. If you are away from home for a week or longer, your Tasker may also need to do a thorough cleaning of the cage bars and perches. Demonstrate how to safely transfer your bird to another location while the cage is being cleaned, and make sure your bird will follow your Tasker’s commands for leaving and going back inside the cage. 

 

Treats and playtime

Your pet will also need their regular exercise and roaming time while you’re out. Brief your Tasker about how to get them out and back inside the cage, and let them know how long you’d like your bird to fly around the house. If your bird knows any tricks or games such as foraging for treats, your Tasker may like doing these with your pet. Just make sure that your Tasker can keep your pet safe while in flight - check for open or broken doors and windows, or any clutter that your bird may pick up and play with.

Bird Sitter in July (2.5 weeks) near Paddington

$350

Paddington NSW, Australia

10th Jun 2026

Looking for a pet sitter for my bird (cockatiel) in July near Paddington who has experience with birds. Going away from 8 July (drop off lunch or evening) to 26 July (pick up lunch or evening). She would need fresh seeds and water each day and some time to stretch her wings. She’s a good flyer so would need somewhere she can fly safely. She’s a mature lady (around 20 years old) and is unlikely to be ‘warm’ / cuddly with someone else but does appreciate company and following someone around. Or sitting quietly and watching like a gargoyle. Looking to find someone in or close to Paddington as that would mean less transport time for her - which she’s not the fondest of. I would also like to arrange a quick catch up before July to introduce you and answer any questions :)

I have two cockatiels that I need taken care of regularly. I’m currently paying about $25 per day, which is getting to be a bit expensive. Plus the person I have lives 40mins away so I’m looking for somebody around Coolum /yandina etc I need them looked after a lot. I’m looking for someone with their own Avery preferably so that it’s not too much of a bother. Unless someone has kids who would love an extra friend without the long term commitment. It’s going to be consistent so I’m looking for a daily rate of $10-$15 But willing to negotiate I can drop them off and pick them up They have their own cage if you don’t have an Avery

Clean two aviaries. Top of roof not needed. Remove shelving both cages, pull apart, put in red bin. Plastic containers, obvious rubbish in red bin. Remove all seed and dropping material both cages. Use wire brush on droppings, paint scrapers to scrape floor. Material can go in green bin. In aviary with brown front and green inner wall will have to pull forward internal rear concrete blocks (easy) and clean behind. Scrape and wipe down all internal walls. Wipe perches. Can hose out at finish. Note this cage has a small door about 1m high. 2nd cage, mainly wire walls. As above, not necessary to move concrete blocks. Use wire brush on top of concrete blocks. Consider wearing a mask it could be mouldy and dusty. Will provide wire brushes, paint scrapers, dust pans, buckets, rags. If you want to use vacuum or other equipment byo.

Thanks Meaghan for your willingness to do a really dirty job.

Ashmore QLD 4214, Australia

4th Jan 2026

This is a pet sitting gig from 13th of February to 20th of march, she will require daily water change every 2nd day seed change and 2nd weekly news paper change. Cuddles optional but recommended. If you love birds this might be the task for you happy to drop her off either in goldcoast or south brisbane. Will make final decision on taskers offers 28/1/26 she comes with a travel cage she can stay in, she is able to fly ( she dosent have a history of flying away but There is always a worry of her being attacked by other birds so she usually stays inside.) Her normal cage is alot bigger then her travel cage but she is ok to stay in her travel cage for a couple weeks. I will provide a couple boxes of seed for the 5 week duration.

She is amazing and went above and beyond the expected task requirements. I couldnt have asked for better help.
