Holiday Happenings

It's never too early to start planning for your holiday reservation needs! Since we can only care for 15 families at any given time, availability becomes more limited as our client base continues to grow.

Remember to book holiday reservations early! Our busiest summer months are July and August!

Holiday hours for drop offs and pick up appointments:

There is a 4 night minimum stay for holidays (Memorial weekend, July 4, Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving and Christmas) and a minimum charge for one bird (additional bird(s) from same family as shown on the Boarding Information page).  A deposit will be required to hold your reservation. Our cancellation policy for holiday reservations is 25% cancellation fee if we are given less than 7 days notice (compared to the usual 48 hour cancellation notice).

We are already getting reservations for the holidays!  Our rooms are booked on a first come basis, and drop off and pick up times are limited to our office hours (except as posted above). So book early to avoid disappointment!

Adoption News!

Kitt has finally had the perfect bird come into her life - "Alex", a 4 year old male Senegal parrot who was greatly loved by a client of ours. Due to relocation problems, Alex needed a new home and Kitt's heart was stolen. We have so much enjoyed going through this process with her! (6/03)

Patti has added yet another (and presumably the last!) bird to her flock. "Bogie" is a male Congo African Grey who also made his way into her heart and home through a client at Avian Suites. Bogie had picked many of his feathers out, and despite the excellent medical evaluation and therapy, continued to pick. The owner's made a painful yet loving decision to try another environment to see if it would make a difference. Patti is happy to report that he has much feather regrowth, is chatty and interacts very well with the rest of the Christie flock. Feather picking is such a complicated issue, and there rarely is one pat answer to "fix it". Sometimes things work well for a period of time and then the picking starts again. Time will tell. For now, he is doing great! (6/03).

Traecy has become "mom" to her 2nd bird, Greta (formerly known as Gretzky). Greta is a female Timneh African Grey. She had been a boarding client and the previous owner had unexpected changes in her life and was no longer able to devote the time to Greta that she deserved. After months of considering all possibilities for her feathered companion, she decided a new home would be in Greta's best interest. Traecy's other bird, Tiki (female Senegal parrot) isn't particularly impressed but tolerates the competition well! Traecy's daughter Brynn just loves both the birds and is such an incredibly sensitive and respectful toddler with both Tiki and Greta.
