The average companion parrot may live in up to 7 homes in a lifetime! For those of us with a heart to rescue, foster, or adopt parrots from rescues overflowing with parrots in need of forever homes, we know the journey can be bumpy, yet also fulfilling.

The truth is, the journey will always be bumpy so let's not let that stand in the way of a long, happy life with our companion birds.

Join us virtually on Sunday, August 18 from 1-3pm EST to unveil the solutions to successfully Adopting a Bird with an Unknown Past.

Thinking of adopting an adult bird soon or already have one that just needs some assistance? Join Cassie as she goes over case studies and research to help you get to understand your new addition a bit better.

I am SO EXCITED to once again be teaming up with Nicky Plaskitt of Shaping Behaviour for another Bitesize Behaviour series, this time all about PARROTS!

Here's what one attendee said about our last course ...
"Fabulous. Cassie & Nicky truly have a gift for training people and birds! Patient, approachable, knowledgeable, helpful, resourceful, are a few words I would use to describe their teaching methods. Their teaching message is clear, to promote best welfare for the birds and to empower their students with the knowledge of the best training practices. I really enjoyed the "dual teaching" or "team teaching" approach to this course. As some facilities struggle to make the change from traditional methods to positive reinforcement training, I personally have found, it takes multiple introductions, by multiple consultants, to eventually "tip the scales" in favor of positive reinforcement training. This course allowed students to learn the benefits of positive reinforcement training from not one, but two experienced trainers with somewhat different training methods (and in different parts of the world!), all while sharing in one main goal, to promote best welfare practices. Bravo! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and time for the betterment of birds." ~Jennifer W.

Whether a zoological facility, parrot rescue, or private parrot breeder, seller, or owner, this course is for YOU!

Very excited to announce that Cassie Malina of Awesome Animal Solutions and I are collaborating on another virtual course, this time all things parrot! We are running a 10 week programme-parrots 101 (4 weeks in September) and parrots 102 (6 weeks through November and December) which can be purchased separately or as a package for a discounted rate. The programme will cover a huge range of topics including antecedent arrangement, enrichment, basic training and problem solving for your bird(s). This will be useful for both private owners, and zoological collections working with parrot species. Cassie and I have over 40 years experience between us, working with a huge variety of birds, other animals and people and base our work around science based positive reinforcement training. Each week will allow time for questions and discussion and will run 7-9pm UK time on Tuesdays (2-4pm EST). Tickets can be booked via: https://www.awesomeanimalsolutions-cassiemalina.com/event-details/bbs-presents-parrots-a-holistic-approach-to-choice-based-training
