I am so THRILLED to announce another fantastic resource to improve welfare for avian patients! Dr Alicia McLaughlin and I have collaborated to bring you another Fear Free® course. In this program we go over the Fierce/Fearful to Friendly (F2F) procedure that can be used when a bird wants distance as a reinforcer. This can include situations in which the bird is showing a fear response to people, objects (such as medical instruments), places, etc. It makes my heart very happy to see this information reaching more practitioners and in turn helping more animals. The course looks and sounds fantastic and includes fun interactive graphics. I hope you will take advantage of this awesome resource to help improve avian welfare https://fearfreepets.com/courses/addressing-fear-aggression-in-avian-patients-a-constructional-approach/ #fearfree #fearfreeavian #fearfreecertifican #distanceasarreinforcer #fiercetofriendly #aggressivebehavior #fearresponses #avianmedicine #avianbehavior #parrotbehavior #constructionalapproach #aviandiplomate #veterinarymedicine #veterinarybehavior https://www.instagram.com/p/CcV63b1l86C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My parrot loves playing in a towel and trusts it will be big fun. Not so for everyone. I recently read in a chat group of someone's parrot having a seizure and passing from restraint for a routine nail trim. This doesn't have to be. Learn how to train your parrot to overcome fear responses in Saturday's live webinar. 12 noon central.

With my live parrot training workshops being so few these days its kinda fun to look at back at this DVD we recorded here in Austin a few years back. Lots of live training demos, video clips and 4 full hours of information on training, addressing behavior problems, body language and more. I have only had it in hard copy for the longest time. Now it is available online 😊 Go directly to the online rental here https://vimeo.com/ondemand/parrotbasicsworkshop or if you are a member of www.AnimalTrainingFundamentals.com you will find this under courses and then under parrot training. #parrottraining #parrotworkshop #parrotbehavior https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu-6CKnoy_/?igshid=16ndet9hqesng

Last live parrot webinar for awhile. This is for those of you dealing with a parrot vocalizing for attention, a common but very fixable problem. There are some common mistakes people make that cause this problem to persist. Details make a difference when addressing this challenge. Find out more this Saturday March 3rd noon central.

“Protected Contact” means working with a safe barrier between you and the animal. Normally not needed for my companion parrots, but what if reproductive hormones have kicked into high gear and your parrot is not quite himself and is easily triggered for aggressive behavior? Could you still get cooperation voluntarily? Yes! Cue your parrot to station on a perch so that the scale can be safely placed, then target to the scale. Target back to the station to remove the scale. Mission accomplished. #scaletraining #parrottraining #parrotbehavior #parrotbehaviorproblems #aggressivebehavior #protectedcontact #parrots #yellownapedamazon #yellownapedamazonparrots

It's always fascinating what journalists choose to share of the many things you discuss when being interviewed for an article. Nice to see a mention of kakapo, they can always use more awareness from a national publication like the Wall Street Journal. However a few things that didn't make the final cut are that parrots can be a good fit for the right person. Parrot behavior problems are most definitely something that can be prevented and fixed. And even a dog can be a challenging pet when not trained to be well behaved with positive reinforcement. Yes, do your homework before getting any companion animal. Train them to be well behaved using force free technology and in the case of parrots it can create people who are passionate about birds and avian conservation. Anyhoo.... looks like I was in the Wall Street Journal today. #wallstreetjournal #parrotsaspets #parrot #parrots #parrotbehavior #kakapo #sirocco
