Homes for Bird People

For those who build their lives around birds

For buyers who plan their floor plan around their flock, their yard around the wild things, or their property around the birds they're building a life for. I've done all three. I know what to look for.

Avian Housing Expert

Whether you have a flock that needs a floor plan, a sanctuary in the making, or you simply want the wild world close — finding a home that works for that life requires someone who understands it from the inside. Most agents have never thought about what a companion bird needs from a space. I've been thinking about it for 29 years. If that's a big deal in your home search, we should talk.

HOMES THAT WORK FOR YOUR FLOCK

Dedicated bird rooms. Tile or easy-clean flooring. Non-toxic paints and finishes. Ventilation and air filtration. Outdoor flight space. Room layouts that make free flight livable. These aren't afterthoughts for my clients — they're the criteria. And they're the criteria I actually know how to evaluate in a property, because I've been living with them myself for nearly three decades.

Some buyers want a yard. Others want a habitat. A property that backs up to open space, where the native plants are already in and the Cooper's Hawks hunt the edge every morning. I read a neighborhood by what's in the trees as much as what's in the comps. If the wild world being close is part of how you're imagining your life in a new place, that's exactly the kind of thing I know how to find.
