![]() When we bring a parrot into our lives, from parakeets to macaws, we are offering them a place to call home. What does home mean? For a parrot it might mean a place to be safe, be healthy, have a sense of family, and be provided positive opportunities to live and thrive. This class will address what each of these means to a bird, and give you some ideas about how to continue providing the good life for your bird. This class satisfies our adoption process class requirement. In order for applicants to receive credit for the class, all activities must be completed and turned in.

Many times we think we know why a bird has done something, but usually we are just guessing, and often we are wrong. Let's talk about the principles of behavior; how to increase the behaviors we want and decrease the ones we don't; and work through a series of common scenario examples together.

Join us for a class that will teach you the science of learning and behavior and learn how we can apply that to the birds in our care. This class is good for people who are new to parrots and for people who have had parrots for quite a while. We guarantee you'll learn something new!
You'll get information on how and what to train, and understand the connection between what we do and our bird's behavior. Debbie is certified as a trainer and behavior consultant and combines those two disciplines to help people with their parrots and to help give birds the skills they need to succeed in their homes. She is also an instructor at Companion Animal Sciences Institute, a teaching assistant for Living and Learning with Animals, and the owner of Parrot Ps and Qs. This event will not be recorded, so must be attended live online via Zoom.

As a bonus, she'll also share information about safe and effective cleaners and disinfectants, and how and when to use each. Join us! .
