LOREM IPSUM!
Too Crazy Birdy Hotel is a unique collaboration, where people who love parrots and have years of parrot experience are welcomed into their own business opportunity. We all follow the same protocols while still having our individual mannerisms. We all love parrots and best of all, we are a team. That gives you even more comfort when you leave your feathered baby. An emergency somewhere? Off we go to help and make appropriate decisions, only considering the best needs for the parrots at that moment in time.

People are Saying... •• Lucinde Metcalfe We’re lucky to have you there ... thanks for that short notice booking! I’m sure they had a great weekend with you! (Sara’s Place) •• Grace Neil We were away for almost a month... Marvin, our cockatiel, was so well cared for and he came home a very happy boy. We are so grateful to have found Too Crazy Birdie Hotel. Thank you Laurie (and Bill) for taking care of our feathered baby. We will definitely use your services again for a nice retweet for Marvin. We will recommend you to anyone looking for a caring sitter for their bird. 10/10 (Laurie’s Place) •• Debba Doo Merry Christmas to you. Thank you so much for the care you provide our feathered friends. It is nice to know there is somewhere safe for our parrot. Merry Christmas! 2 |

•• Jennifer Moore (two Macaws) My feathered crew have stayed at the Too Crazy Birdy Hotel when we travel and the Hotel crew have come here when we couldn’t get the birds to them. They have been cared for with the same level of love and gentle encouragement they have at home, except with more sleepover friends! Blessings Diana and crew! So many, many thanks for doing what you do :D (Diana’s Place) MacKenzie Lindgren recommends Too Crazy Birdy Hotel. January 13 · Always quick to help in any way they can. I often need someone to take care of my parrot and they’re always so helpful and he always comes back very happy. And when I had an emergency they were very quick to step up and help, going above and beyond. They’ve been so so helpful, and are an amazing service for anybody who needs a hand with their bird. (Emma’s Place)
Diana and Kip Slater – We are entering our sixth year of business with Too Crazy Birdy Hotel. We are still having a good time and enjoy the many visits we have with your parrots. We also have been blessed with friendships with our customers. Sharing a parrot heart somehow connects people beyond words. Kip love to greet folks, and willing drives all over the Island to pick up birds or help with a cage need. He is a dedicated member of FEATHERS and does many of the “surrendered” parrot pick ups with our old gold truck. Me? I am the jack of all trades and still enjoy learning from others. I feel absolutely vibrant with this endeavor. I have balanced my love of quilting with my love of parrots - Sarah, owner of Brentwood Bay location was my inspiration! You will be see more of this in the near future. Kip and I now are set up and we have no more room for any more cages, we love the “Littles” and they hang out with the conures in Kip’s office, and the others in mine. This keeps them safe and allows them lots of out time. We do tend to specialize in the larger birds, last year, there were some weeks that I had four Macaws. We are set up for it - with large cages and playstands, so everyone gets to feel special somewhere during the day. Of course, we are cockatoo crazy as we have mainly Cockatoos, and yours love to come among them.

Laurie has been with Too Crazy 3 years and she opens her home to all species of parrots from budgies to macaws in the Comox Valley.
Laurie is an active member of F.E.A.T.H.E.R.S., a volunteer group that meets the 4th Sunday of every month at St. Philip Anglican Church in Cedar, BC.
She prefers that Nanaimo takes the cockatoos. She loves African Grays and Amazons.
Laurie’s dedication to her birds and her chihuahua puppies define her as caring, and proficient. Laurie’s work at MARS Wildlife Rescue Centre in Merville, BC, just a quick walk from her home and birds, proves her passion for all animals especially avians.
Laurie also works and volunteers at MARS Wildlife Rescue Centre, an amazing recovery centre for all forms of wildlife. This Centre was recently featured on CBC’s the Mercer Report!

Laurie has provided immeasurable support to our overall team. She will even drive to the Comox Valley airport and North Island Ferry Terminal to pick up our feathered guests that are ferried over or fly in on a float plane from Powell River. Your feathered baby is in great hands at our Comox valley location!
Sarah joined the Too Crazy Birdy Hotel team in 2018. She lives in the lovely Brentwood Bay area, which makes her very close to our Cowichan Valley customers as well as the south island area. Sarah and David have welcomed Budgies, Parrotlets, Cockatiels, Senegals,Conures, Goffin Cockatoos, African Gray Parrots, Amazons and many others. Sarah’s space does not afford her room for larger Cockatoos or Macaws. Sarah and David created Raincoast Jewelry Design, which can be found on Facebook and Etsy.
Your parrots might be shoulder-surfing while she is bending silver or wrapping a stone. Others hang out and watch from the playstand. It is a beautiful combination of two businesses that complement each other. Sarah has had her own birds for over a decade, and I was so happy to recruit this dedicated, competent, passionate bird whisperer. David shares her passions and often assists Sarah with the parrots. He is also a gifted jewelry designer. They have Macaws, an African Gray, Budgies and Cockatiels.

Emma has multiple passions in her life, and caring for the littliest birds at Too Crazy Birdy Hotel is certainly an important part of her day. Her inventive ways of keeping the “Littles” entertained range from helping her with her advanced educational program, watching TV and them checking her homework! Emma has been a part of the Too Crazy Team for more than two and half years. She lives on Craigflower Road in Victoria. As we indicated above, she welcomes “Littles”. Emma has a separate room where they can play. She too has been involved with birds for a decade. Her space is finite and now she specializes in long term stays for little birds and has established her select client list. Emma is working on her degree so the parrots in her care study with her every evening and on the weekends. She has a Cockatiel, a Maroon Bellied Conure, an African Gray, and Double Yellow Headed Amazon. She is active in the bird community. Emma recently adopted two senior chihuahuas who are so well behaved - little snuggle bugs who are her “walkies” motivators! Playtime with Emma - Inventive Games 6 |

Behind the Scenes Kevin Linder - Parrot Services Kevin was lucky enough to retire very early and has since worked with parrots for many years. The valuable experience and insight he has obtained even before he joined Too Crazy is impressive. We tell Kevin that he “speaks parrot”! Kevin is an integral part of our operation here in Nanaimo. He lends support to all parrot husbandry associated with care of large and small parrots. This role includes interaction and play so my parrots and yours do not realize I have taken a day away. This is a real blessing in my life, as it affords me time to be involved in the administration of Too Crazy but most of all have time for other passions -- quilting. Thank you,Kevin! Mary Peppard created Peppardigital Media to help businesses create social media content. She is supportive of owners learning how to “do it themselves” when they want to and be available when they are too busy. She loves preparing newsletters for emailing. You may have booked a parrot with Mary while Diana was away as she steps in sometimes for our Admin Support. Diana and Mary have been best friends for over 30 years, so they can come up with ideas that make Too Crazy Birdy Hotel a very fun place to work and to board parrots! Mary has provided team photos, parrot videos and images, written content for newsletters, posts, and much more. When you work with friends who understand your goals and business stressors, it makes the work a dream! w w w. To o C ra z yBi rdyHotel. c om
