We’re usually lucky to get 20 people, but you ARE a big time bird celebrity Your FIDS are welcome, some of us bring FIDS, and they are also famous.
We meet on Sunday afternoons 1x a month. We’ll feed you lunch, do you have a fee? You can check us out on Facebook (closest thing we have to a website) at Gainesville Bird Fanciers. If you are interested, we can talk dates and details.

Thanks so much, Andrea! I’m glad you enjoy it.
Yes, I do talks for anyone. Usually people want me to talk about Chop. I have some nice videos and a cool talk to present. I also can do a “Chop Demo,” if you’re so inclined. How many people?

Hi Kelly,
I’m so very glad you enjoy my “stuff” as I call it. After a late night setting up for a presentation on “Chop” in The Washington DC area, I have to get moving here and get ready to meet and greet people from the Phoenix Landing Adoption Foundation and do a Presentation and seminar. Go ahead and friend me on Facebook and take a look at my little corner of FB insanity! Looking forward to seeing you sometime at a workshop and I’m so glad to know that you too, are still learning. Because I’ve never stopped. And I probably never will. Sounds like you’re doing everything right!
All the best,
P.

Hello Patricia. I think I’ve found the first blog on African Grey parrots that actually meets my standards. I’m no pro by any means, but I have an 11-year-old CAG that I’ve had since he was about 12 weeks old. I’m almost ashamed to say that now after all these years of educating myself and realizing rescuing a parrot would have been the better option. I’m impressed with your knowledge and how you’ve gone about educating yourself. I had a breeder that I later learned (again through my ongoing education) was top-notch. She did it for the love of parrots more than the money. Oh the things I had to do before I could bring my fid home. It is because of her that I have such a well-behaved, social, confident, and wonderful parrot. This woman required I visit my baby parrot at least once a week and spend at least a couple of hours there each visit bonding with him. She offered me complete access to her breeding facility on these visits (something I’ve learned is rare but didn’t realize at the time). She was hiding nothing. She gave me references and printouts and during the time I spent with her she educated me on so many things. I watched her care for all kinds of parrots and saw the bond she had with my baby as well. She cried when I took him home. If only ALL breeders could be like her. She gets updates from me a couple times a year and always on Zoey Bird’s hatch date. I often contact her to thank her for insisting I read everything I could get my hands on about greys when I hear about somebody doing something with their parrot that is unbelievable. I can’t believe how many people bring one of these intelligent, sensitive creatures into their lives without educating themselves beforehand. I often deal with internal conflict as well for taking part in my bird’s captivity, but it does make me even more determined to provide him with the best life possible out of the rain forest. I have just found your blog and will be poking around here for hours I’m sure. I want to check out the courses you talk about as well. I’m always looking for something new to learn about how I can make life more enjoyable for my parrot. Are you on Facebook? There are a few really good parrot pages there that offer lots of good information. I read everything and research things in greater detail just to make sure. I’m going to share your blog link with my parrot friends on Facebook. Thank you for loving parrots and sharing your knowledge.
