Have you been bitten by your bird? Bites are painful, frustrating, dangerous, and unnecessary. Special guest Jenny Drummey, author of Biting Matters, will teach us how to analyze why birds bite. We’ll discuss bite triggers and how to effectively respond to them, as well as solutions that will reduce or eliminate bites from any bird. End 2019 and begin 2020 by taking the Bite Free Pledge! Learn how to effectively read body language and behavior to avoid ever being bitten again.

Which classes meet the adoption process class requirement?
Classes noted with a parrot icon meet the adoption process class requirement. These classes also include a statement in the class description indicating it meets the adoption process requirement. Adoption applicants are welcome to join us at other classes or talks, too, but they do not meet the adoption process requirement. If you are adopting a larger bird from us, your adoption coordinator may also request you attend an additional class on parrot behavior.
