"My husband and I fell into the group of Companion bird lovers who never took vacations because we didn't feel comfortable with leaving our beloved Umbrella Cockatoo and Grey Timneh with just anyone. If they could board them, there was not a large cage available for Bandit. Many didn't feel comfortable with the larger parrots, didn't understand their needs or have experience.
We feel so lucky to have met Christy Herbst this summer. From my first phone conversation with Christy and after meeting her, I knew that we had finally found the person we had hoped for. We were instantly at ease with her and her family and knew that our "fellas" would have the best care and love possible. It didn't take long to realize that she was not an amateur in the companion bird world.
