Sometimes it’s hard to tell in this business. I think some of the heroes are the people who train and educate about training. Susan Friedman is a hero. Barbara Heidenreich is a hero. Robin Shewokis is a hero for spreading the message about enrichment and foraging. Susan Friedman is a hero for educating the field [...]

C’mon! Give a click! I do the Animal Rescue Site thing fairly regularly where you click to give and your click feeds hungry animals 1/6th of a bowl of food. And of course I did a little research and found out that it was indeed legit, but it wasn’t a non-profit organization. Not that this [...]

I’m always up for a good party. I’m always up for learning something new. And if you know me I’m always up for seeing friends. The Houston Parrot Festival pretty much provides all of these. If you haven’t hit the Houston Parrot Festival yet, I highly suggest you save up for next year. Starting now. [...]

I’m all for education and enlightenment. I love it when I learn something new. Love it when I try something and it works. The first time I heard Robin Shewokis speak on enrichment, it made me think about what I could do to enrich Parker, Pepper and Nyla’s lives. And I think my birds are [...]

God knows I have a ton of them: Books on African Greys, on behavior training, diet, stories about parrots, handbooks. You name it, I’ve probably seen it, own it or I’ve read it. And the hits just keep on coming. I really enjoy reading and I’ve found that many other parrot people do as well. [...]

I’ve been thinking about the culture of aviculture. Not just about what it is that we do to keep birds in our homes and our lives, but how it effects us as a community. It is a specialized world, probably not unlike people who are interested in religion, or insects or trains. We have a [...]

I am many things, but “Parrot Expert” I’m not. I’m a Flight Attendant, a Writer, a human companion to two parrots and foster family to another. I write, I fly, I clean up parrot crap and rake up toy pieces left in the wake of my African Grey, Parker. If Parker was a human being, [...]

(Katherine Thorpe of the Animal Educational Foundation Training Palmer the Palm Cockatoo) (Photo courtesy Steve Martin of NEI Inc.) When are you done? It’s a simple question, really. When it comes to birds, I guess you aren’t ever really “done”. There is always another behavior to train, another cage to clean, another beak to feed, [...]

I just got back from the Houston Parrot Festival put on by the NPRPF, which is the “National Parrot Rescue and Preservation Foundation”; a mouthful in and of itself. I got back on Monday and I’m still beat. It’s a high-energy, fun get-together for Parrot Freaks all over the Country and this is how the [...]
