Some of the remarks we receive from our customers over the phone
Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know the seminar today was AWESOME! It is so different to see the training in person and then watch in real time what can happen! The people were great and you put so much information in my head – I think it is spinning.
Thanks again! Awesome group – Awesome Teacher!
I just returned home from your seminar and wanted to let you know how excited I am!! My fearful, parent raised Congo African Grey finally made progress in her step up training!! I did everything very slowly and by the end of our session she was putting her weight on one foot on my hand!! This is a first!! Thanks again.
I am EXTREMELY proud of the leaps and bounds Max has made with positive reinforcement. I don’t know if I can express how much it has changed this bird in the short time that I have had him. Every time I hold him, on my hand, or rub a foot, or get an “up” to my hand, I revel in the amazement of what positive reinforcement can do. It has taken some time, but it works, and he is learning how to learn in a positive way. This was an excellent opportunity for me to see hands on training. It was a treat to watch all the birds.

“I met you at the workshop in New York City recently and just wanted to say a big thank you. My grouchy (20+ years, PDD sufferer) previously unhandleable African grey parrot Venger is now eating from my hand. Your workshop was so very helpful and made perfect sense. You are a great public speaker and an inspiration to me. I owe you a debt of gratitude for where my relationship with Venger has gotten since I met you. I truly never thought I would be able to hold Venger on my naked hand, and now it’s every day. I haven’t used his transport perch for about 3 weeks. And to be holding both Venger and Daisy at the same time is a terrific feeling. Thanks from all the gang here in Brooklyn.”

“We just wanted to express our gratitude to you for making such an accessible DVD on parrot training. My nine year old son recently adopted two pearl cockatiel hens and I adopted a ten year old Quaker parrot. He’s going to need some hard core training as he’s now in his third home and has plucked his belly feathers. I’m so glad that I have your DVD to help me with his training. You break the concepts down so understandably and make them simple to follow. As a fellow psychology person, I had these concepts down pat in grad school, but when it comes time to use them in real life, in a stressful, emotional situation, I’m glad that you’re there! Thanks to The Bird Hut, Inc. here in Portland as well as Dr. Linter and Kelley at The Avian Medical Center here in Lake Oswego for helping me with my birds and leading me to you.”

Because I saw you “do your magic” in person, I realized that I would be able to do it too. I am not sure I would have made the progress I have made if I had not attended the workshop. I have taken online courses, but I guess “seeing is believing.” I can’t thank you enough
