Catherine Tobsing enjoyed exotic birds as a hobby for many years before becoming an avian supply vendor in 1993. The birth of windycityparrot.com came on the heels of reduced bird fair attendance after 9/11. Opening the Windy City Parrot Birdie Boutique on Chicago’s northwest side enabled feathered companion enthusiasts to benefit from feedback Catherine received at more than 500 avian events spanning a decade. Undaunted by the total loss of her business due to devastating fire on June 23rd 2005, Catherine's management ability was stretched to the limit with hundreds of orders and no inventory or computers.. Overcoming that tragedy and 2 moves later, Catherine oversees fufilment from the new compact Birdie Boutique in Chicago's Ukrainian village When she's not overseeing shipping she is the buyer for all the categories at windycityparrot.com excepting cages & stands which Mitch orders. Catherine excels at website design. Cooking and collecting avian antique objects d'art are hobbies she enjoys as time allows.
