Hi Christine and fellow parrot lovers! Thought I should mention that I am a parrot help resource in the Reno/Tahoe area. I have been working professionally with parrots, dogs, and other animals using positive reinforcement training for the past 10 years or so. I follow the techniques of experts such as Barbara Heidenreich and Dr. Susan Freidman. I also have a degree in psychology, and am certified through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, a member of the American Federation of Aviculture and Association of Animal Behavior Professionals. To my knowledge, I’m the only one in the area studying parrot behavior and working with parrot owners and their birds.
Anyway, I’m available for in-home behavior consultations, and I’ll be doing several seminars on parrot behavior in upcoming RAAVE (Reno Area Avian Enthusiasts) meetings.
It’s so cool to see parrots included in the more general “pet behavior” genre of this blog – and to see you debunking some bird myths alongside the dog myths. Keep the good stuff coming!
