Let's learn more about some of the aspects of parrots that likely draws us to them most with this great lineup of speakers! Dr. Todd Driggers will talk about wing anatomy, flight, and a new style of wing clip (if you must clip wings). Dr. Richard Burdeaux will discuss feather destructive behavior with parrots. Behaviorist Pam Clark will broaden and enlighten our understanding of parrots. Heidi Hellmuth will look deeper at wild behavior in parrots, and provide insights into enriching their lives in captivity based on that.
This is an event you will not want to miss!
