- Effective management of reproductive hormones.
- Management of social systems and behavior within the home
- Scientific bases for the provision of the greatest quality of life
- The principles of applied behavior analysis and how to practically use learning science to solve real behavior problems.
- Training principles and practices
- Species-specific knowledge
- Resolution of issues with problem noise
- Resolution of aggression in all of its forms
- Resolution of feather damaging behavior and self-mutilation.
- Resolution of extreme fear in parrots.
- Correct application of The Constructional Approach
- And more....
Learn science-based behavior consulting practices that resolve problems 99% of the time. I have developed a fairly foolproof method for conducting behavior consultations that results in my personal goal: HAPPY CLIENT EVERY TIME.
If certification with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants Parrot Division is your goal, I am able also to prepare you for that challenge by making sure you understand critical principles and strategies, as well as having enough experience behind you. I can help you to get the experience that you need.
Learn about the developmental process of baby parrots and how this impacts them later in life.
This is necessary knowledge for a parrot behavior consultant for many reasons. You will learn some of the things that go wrong with hand-fed parrots and how to help correct these deficits in your clients' parrots..
Learn about the importance of flight and how it impacts parrots socially.
More and more people are living with flighted parrots and this creates new challenges, including flighted attacks on the people they live with. Learn how to work with these more complicated cases. Learn also how to tell if a previously-clipped parrot is a candidate for flight and how to train this.
