Some serious behavioral problems with parrots arise from an unawareness of their instinctive prey animal mentality. One responsibility of an avian behavior consultant is educating the parrot's human owner about the thought processes of prey animals and how that affects their security in our human environment. Parrots are also highly social, flock animals and need constant availability with and stimulation from their human flock. Understanding parrots' natural, instinctive needs is a valuable start toward solving avian behavioral problems. An avian consultant's first priority should be to help both birds and humans feel comfortable together in their shared environment.
Consultations are by appointment, which can be arranged via email or phone.
