Why this exists

Parrots don't make it easy to leave.

They're smart, particular, and good at hiding when something's wrong. Caring for one well is a long practice of paying attention, and that practice is hard to hand to someone else on a printed page.

I built this because I wanted my birds to get the same care whether I was home or not, and I wanted to keep noticing the small things even from a distance. It started as a tool for me. I'm sharing it in case it's useful to you.

How it works

Good care is a hundred small things.
This keeps track of them.

A care plan for each bird

All the little things you just know.

Their diet and how you prep it, how they like to be handled, their setup, health notes, and what to do in an emergency. Everything that's usually in your head, written down in one place so care stays the same from day to day, no matter who's giving it. You can add short videos too, since some things are easier to show than explain.

Notice the little things

Catch the small changes early.

A quick daily once-over and a weight now and then add up to something real: a record of what's normal for your bird, so a small change stands out before it becomes a big one. Anyone caring for them can do the check and note anything that seems off, and it all stays in one place you can look back on.

So care never drops a beat

The same care, even when it's not you.

Add a partner or family member to your household so they always have what they need, or send a sitter a link for one specific trip. Whoever's watching your birds gets a simple daily checklist and the full care plan, so nothing slips whether you're home, out for the evening, or away for the week.

Built for how we actually care for birds

Better than a google doc.

Most of us hand off our birds with a doc, a text thread, or a page of notes stuck to the fridge. This does what those can't: it keeps everything in one place, updates as you go, and handles the parts a document never could.

Roles that make sense

A partner, a sitter, and you each see exactly what you should. Everyone gets the right access, nothing more.

Share links that expire

Give a sitter access to the right birds for one trip. When the sit ends, so does their access.

Health, tracked over time

Weights, daily checks, and notes build a picture you can bring to your avian vet when it matters.

A bird's whole history travels

Rehome or adopt out a bird and their full record goes with them. The care plan, the weights, the health history, so the next person doesn't start from zero.

Who it's for

If you've ever left your birds with someone,
you know the feeling.

Owners who travel

Hand off your birds with confidence, whether it's one night or two weeks, and keep tabs while you're gone.

Fosters & rescues

Track a bird through your care and pass their whole history to their adopter when they find a home.

Multi-bird households

Keep a partner or family member in the loop so care doesn't fall on one person, and nothing slips.

Try it with your own flock.

Add your first bird, put together their care plan, and see if it helps. It's completely free, and I'd genuinely love to know what you think.
