Outside the Flock - Bonding with an older bird (Patreon)

Simons owners Sharon and Clifford were so fun to meet with!! Simon was adopted a little older in life, and though they had previously raised an Amazon parrot from a baby chick, they were struggling with how to bond with an older bird.

We talked about treat motivation. And how a mostly ‘junk food’ diet will really sabotage you efforts in training! We also discussed parrots talking, cage set up/enrichment, and what might motivate a bird other than food (do birds really like to do things for ‘affection and praise’?). It was a very fun consult and I’m so excited to hear how Simon, Clifford, and Sharon progress together!
