Contrary to the rants of my many named stalker on message
boards, I do in fact, work as a Parrot
Behaviorist/Consultant. (He continues to labor under the
misconception that I lose sleep over what he thinks.) I help
folks with pretty much any thing that comes up with their
parrots. Sometimes it's just basic stuff in answer to
questions like, "I just got a (insert species) and need to
know how to take care of it". I also help them with behavior
problems. In those cases, of course the term "parrot
behaviorist" is a bit of a misnomer. It would be more
technically correct to say "owner behaviorist". What I'm
actually doing is observing the clients interactions with the
bird and trying to help them see what they are doing wrong
and offer new ways to handle certain situations. As anyone
knows, who works with any kind of animal, it's rarely the
animal that needs any training. It's the owners that need
the guidance. As the Dog Whisperer often says, we work to
rehabilitate the animal and train the owner. Does that
answer your question?
