In winter time humans like to vacation either in the Caribbean or at fancy ski resorts. Out of curiosity I asked my feathered friends where they vacation during the winter. Without hesitation they said The Ritz Audubon. (Have you ever heard of this place? I certainly hadn’t). Lucky for me they were so excited that someone asked, they jumped into a lavish explanation. One of them grabbed their smart phone to show me their vacations photos.
The Ritz Audubon is a five star rated luxury winter resort tucked away in the middle of hundreds of acres of conservation land at Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary (run by Mass. Audubon Society) in Topsfield, MA. The deluxe Queen Perch Suite runs about $500 per night. It comes with every imaginable luxury – heated bird bath spas, feather manicures, etc. However, all my feathered friends wanted to talk about the was the food!
The Michelin Star restaurant is incredible. The human waiters hand feed you (literally). Their seed cellar (sort like a wine cellar) stocks sunflowers seed from across the globe. The imported Godiva sunflower seeds are a favorite. The most popular item on the menu is the peanuts from Georgia. If you prefer to dine in your perch you can order “hand service.” My friends said after a week at the resort, they put on too much weight to fly home. They had to call an Uber.
The Queen Perch Suite – has three perches to accommodate the who family
Nuthatches require vertical perches (rather than
horizontal).
They have an entire wing of the resort devoted to them.
So many choices!
Godiva sunflower seeds – I am so jealous!
