Birdie Conversion Camp Guidelines

"Birdie Conversion Camp - Nutritional Tools"

1. One of the reasons we have so much success teaching birds to eat new foods here at the Center, is that they are in a new environment. When they are out of their daily routine, see other birds eating different foods, and have new people serving them their meals, birds are more likely to try new things. We believe that seeing owners during this time can trigger their desire to go back to old, unhealthy eating habits. For this reason, we ask that clients do not come to visit more than once a week during camp.

2. While birds are here, clients are welcome to call for telephone updates on their pet’s progress, but please no more than once daily.

3. While most birds are successfully converted here at the Center, there are always exceptions. The staff here will make every effort to be successful, but in the event that after 3 weeks of trying a bird will not safely change their diet, it is in their best interest to go home. Clients will still be responsible for the full set price of the camp.

4. All birds must be picked up within 24 hours of notification that their bird has been successfully converted. If clients are unable to pick their pet up in that time frame, they are welcome to board their birds here at our standard boarding rates.

5. Possible side effects of a diet change are: weight loss or fluctuations in weight, change in the color or consistency of droppings, and increased drinking.

6. All birds participating in the camp must fulfill our boarding requirements.

7. When birds are picked up, clients will receive a report card. On it will be the bird’s current weight and a list of the foods they have been enjoying at camp!
