Combine that with a real enthusiasm for seeing pet parrots get a higher quality of care and you have the reason I blog about my birds.<BR/><BR/>I'm not trying to teach people how to train their birds. There are much better sources out there for that. My goal is to help people see just what life with small parrots looks like -- they're smart and fun and beautiful, but also demanding. <BR/><BR/>Parrots are complex animals with a lot of needs (ranging from nutrition to mental stimulation) and tons of personality -- and that's probably the main message of the blog as a whole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813842527488109648.post-63530610353095653812008-07-23T13:00:00.000-05:002008-07-23T13:00:00.000-05:00Barbara,I so appreciate your introduction to my Bl...Barbara,<BR/>I so appreciate your introduction to my Blog! My blog is trending toward my goals of, as you said, "Adventures". Despite my training from Susan Friedman, I'm more of a writer than anything. I view my place in Aviculture as that of a Writer and Journalist as opposed to a trainer. But I'm a firm believer in Positive Reinforcement Training, enrichment, adoption, and a great diet. If, though my writing I can reach people that are open to learning, then I feel I will have made a positive impact in the field. <BR/>Thank you again!<BR/>PatriciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813842527488109648.post-38091858943041324572008-07-23T10:22:00.000-05:002008-07-23T10:22:00.000-05:00Lol!

I totally agree not everyone is a snake oil salesman : ) Technically I would have to say I too am an internet marketer, as I sell products on the internet. However I try my best to do it with integrity as I think you do too. Just trying to find a way to help people get through the muddied waters of information out there and to help them be aware of the not so good practices, like using Dr Cooks video without her permission.

I'm flattered! FWIW, ...Thank you for the shout out. I'm flattered! <BR/><BR/>FWIW, I'm an internet marketer too! We're not all snake oil salesmen :) I do occasionally link to stuff I like, but anything you find recommended on my blog will be something I do actually use myself. And I wouldn't recommend anything I didn't think was safe or in the best interest of my birds (or readers).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
