How The Program Works
1. Personalized Assessment
To help us tailor the program to your unique situation we begin by learning about you AND your bird.
- Review their medical history, learning history, diet and environment.
- Your goals, concerns and limits.
2. Environment & Enrichment Plan
With the assessment we will then make recommendations to support your birds welfare which will facilitate learning and decrease undesirable behaviours.
- Cage size, placement, and layout.
- Perches, toys, and an introduction to foraging exercises.
- Parrot proofing your home.
- Safe and unsafe products to have in your home.
You get specific, realistic changes that match your space and budget.
3. Parrot Behaviour & Training Plan
Using humane, evidence-based teaching, you’ll learn:
- How to read your birds body language.

4. Ongoing Support
New questions and problems always show up once you start. Each package offers multiple sessions for us to troubleshoot and work through setbacks.
The goal is not perfection. The goal is a stable, sustainable relationship where both bird and human have tools to live in harmony.
