Please take the time to learn something new for your parrot.

SPRINGFIELD, VA: Grace Presbyterian Church, 7434 Bath Street
SATURDAY, December 1st, 10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon GREG COSTANZO, DVM: WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BIRD?
Ever wonder why a certain test might be crucial for your bird, or how a veterinarian goes about trying to figure out a problem? In sickness and in health, our birds deserve a veterinarian that understands them. Let's dig more into diagnostics and talk about anatomy and physiology a bit as well. We're so grateful that Dr. Gregory Costanzo from Stahl Exotic Veterinary Services has agreed to join us again. He's a really good speaker! |

JACKSONVILLE, FL: Exotic Bird Hospital, 8820 Old Kings Road South
SUNDAY, December 2nd, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM * A PARROT'S POINT OF VIEW
Parrots are built to fly, forage, and flock together, and in the wild they must be continually on alert for predators. These physical and social attributes still govern how a parrot adapts to their lives in our homes. Do you consider your parrot’s perspective in your daily routines and interactions? Perhaps sometimes you just don’t understand each other because you see things differently? Let’s talk about life from a “Parrot’s Point of View.” [also satisfies our adoption process requirement] Space is limited, call the hospital at (904) 256-0043 to reserve a seat. |

ALEXANDER, NC: The Landing, 31 Landing Place Click here for directions
SATURDAY, December 15th, 10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon * WHY DOES MY BIRD DO THAT? LET'S TALK BEHAVIOR
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 examples together. Bring your behavior questions and issues to this class and we will talk about possible approaches and solutions. |
