When walking through the city of Avalon, you will see tile murals with scenes depicting tropical birds and underwater scenes. These bird murals were first created for the Catalina Bird Park, which was at the time the world's largest bird collection.

While many of these original tile installations remain, many more have deteriorated over time. Tiles found inland and tiles that are somewhat protected from the elements (and tourists) have remained in reasonably good condition. Tile panels were also sold for interior use installed in tables and wrought iron frames.

Miller Art Tile has been reproducing tiles to replace many of the deteriorated installations. Tile installations include The Heliport Terminal, Catalina Visitor's Information Center, CC Gallagher exterior molded tiles, the El Encanto Marketplace, the Catalina Country Club, and many others.
