Parrots are clever creatures, and for them to share our lives and homes, it’s important we take the time to learn and understand them. When we don’t we can inadvertently be the cause of, and unknowingly reward unwanted behaviours including feather plucking and excessive screaming.

With the right technique of positive re-enforcement and a little patience, anybody can train a Parrot to do relatively simple skills like step up, but sometimes when a behaviour is particularly difficult or destructive you may need to call in the experts.

Below you’ll find details for well-respected Parrot Behaviourists, Trainers and Consultants based in the UK.
