A recent buzz-trend in training has been the "food management" or "weight management" and I am so....relieved to see you call attention to that issue. My intuition made me feel like it wasn't appropriate and I wasn't comfortable with people offering that advice so casually on forums. Hopefully the word will spread and people will stop using food and hunger as a lure to get parrots do do things they aren't comfortable with yet.LiL Caityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941958430623214572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813842527488109648.post-35332788750300495252013-10-09T18:58:37.276-05:002013-10-09T18:58:37.276-05:00I do wish I'd read this article long before no...I do wish I'd read this article long before now.

We first attended one of your seminars some 7/8 years ago in London (Richmond) and we loved it and you opened our eyes to training using positive reinforcement. Since then Wayne and I (Anguel) went on doing more course and diplomas on positive reinforcement and husbandry requirements for birds in captivity.<br /><br />You are 100% that there are many bloggers and breeders who will happily address themselves at expert but in reality they know very little and pets have only £/$ signs attached to them. That is all.<br /><br />All responsible pet owners should really look for reputable trainers and breeders instead of trying to find the magical quick solution. Guys it doesn’t exists….<br />Listen to Barbara.<br /><br />I will share this post on our website too. <br />www.hotelpolly.co.uk<br />www.parrotessentials.co.uk<br /><br />Positive reinforcement is the way to go and you should all support people like Barbara as they have the best interest of the pets in their hearts and minds.<br /><br />Anguel & WayneAnguel Iordanovhttp://www.hotelpolly.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813842527488109648.post-80848228307083256952013-06-21T15:11:57.727-05:002013-06-21T15:11:57.727-05:00GOOD ARTICLE BARBARA!

They often use the correct 'words' but demonstrate through their actions or other things that they say, their lack of understanding about what they are doing. Great to see this post of yours, I will definitely be sharing it.mishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672594136514676340noreply@blogger.com
