Skype Q & A on Parrot Behaviour Problems with Barbara Heidenreich

Recently Dr Susan Clubb and Terry Timberlake organized a great bash for Parrot enthusiasts called The Rainforest Parrot Party. It was held in Florida and well attended by 400 Parrot loving people.

I was invited to participate too. But due to living 1000+ miles away, I had to attend virtually via Skype.

I answered questions about Parrot behaviour problems submitted by attendees.

I videotaped the entire session so that I could also share it with you!

Topics covered included:

How to create motivation for food treats
What to do if a Parrot is bonded to one person and showing aggressive behaviour to everyone else
What to do if a Parrot tries to bite when you clean the cage
What to do if a Parrot bites when being returned to the cage
How to train a Parrot to be comfortable with nail trims and towel restraint
What to do about screaming for attention
Training a Parrot who will only poop in a basket to poop in his cage.
Do Parrots make good pets?
Resources to help address feather damaging behaviour
