Just a birb nurse running a BirdieB&B in Carrum Downs, Victoria

We donate 20% of boarding profits to Lazzi's Legacy Bird Rescue & Sanctuary

A Chatter of Gentlemen (ACG) Bird Enrichment was established in 2021 to provide safe bird toys for small birds such as budgies and canaries. We now have put down our crafting tools and have opened our home as a holiday house for your feathered family member while you are away. Located in Carrum Downs, all birds must be vet checked annually, and screened for chlamydia/psittacosis. Sharing the same premises and humans, is Lazzi's Legacy Bird Rescue and Sanctuary. Established in 2024, LLRS was founded in memory Lasagna the Blue Budgie and focuses on rescuing, rehabilitating then rehoming budgerigars. Our goal is to help those that need extra nursing and vet care, then finding them forever home. We aim to become a registered charity, and expand to include a sanctuary for elderly, and special needs birds. ACG donates 20% of all bird boarding profits to LLRS which goes towards intake, veterinary fees, supplies and food. The humans behind ACG & LLRS include Mon, an avian vet nurse (aka Bird Nurse) and Griff, an engineer (aka brain #2). ACG is also home to The Chatter - which are personal, resident birds including budgies, finches, canaries, cockatiels, alexandrines and ringnecks. Follow us on Instagram

We are taking bookings for a limited time over the holiday period, but spaces are limited and budgies will be prioritized.

We are not taking any new clients, unless they have been adopted from Lazzi's Legacy Bird Rescue & Sanctuary which is the charity founded by the same team.

Disease screening and vet checks compulsory.

Only accepting bookings through [email protected] ✨️

Neo & Trinity heading home today!

We are going to miss you guys while we are closed 🥺

A Chatter of Gentlemen - ACG Bird Boarding will be closed from July 2026 until October 2027 🫣

Yes. I know it is a long time but I do have two reasons for this.

Firstly, I am going to be studying and I do not believe I will have enough time to provide the level of care required for my clients.

Secondly, with H5N1 entering Australia, we are prioritising the safety of our birds and our rescue flock at Lazzi's Legacy Bird Rescue & Sanctuary by reducing the amount of birds entering without extended quarantine.

If you require emergency medical boarding, please email [email protected] to discuss the possibility, but we will require a letter from your avian vet to confirm the details.

Once I finish my studies, I will assess whether to offer regular boarding services again over the 2027 summer holidays 💙

Some of our boarders 🥰

*We are still mainly taking budgies and small birds, but will do larger species for short stays*

Two of our recent boarders heading home after 2 weeks - what a sweet couple 😍

We’ve made the decision to temporarily limit our boarding services to budgies and similar small species.

This year, Mon will be focusing on her studies and taking some much needed time to recover from burnout and compassion fatigue from her career in the veterinary industry and rescue space.

This is not a permanent goodbye. We absolutely plan to return to offering broader boarding services, and at this stage, we believe to be open by Christmas 2026. For now, though, we need to take a step back, rest, and reset.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support while we take this break.

Stay safe everyone! It's a scary day here in VIC, my heart goes out to those in the bushfires.

All the boarders are safe, and in temperature controlled environment. We are not in a bushfire prone zone.

Here is a few chop beaks this morning ✨️

Diet conversion success! 👏

We had these budgies for 2 weeks and was able to successfully convert them from a primarily seed diet to a varied chop, crumble and seed mix.

Marcel (blue) was able to lose part of his fat pad while Scribble (green) maintained a healthy weight.

We always offer diet conversion as part of our boarding, but we always follow what the owner's preferred feeding guidelines are if they do not wish to make changes.
