I'm a Certified Professional Bird Trainer (CPBT-KA) and I've been working professionally with animals since 2009 across different jobs including working as a zoo keeper, animal trainer, zoo presenter, animal care lecturer and farmer! I have been lucky enough to work with parrots of all sizes, including: blue and gold macaws, yellow naped Amazons and budgies! I have a First Class BSc (Hons) in Animal Behaviour and Welfare specialising in birds, and I have a growing flock of parrots who I love! 🐦Check out our store - parrot food, foraging mixes, avian teas and more: https://bestbehavedbirds.myshopify.com/ 🦜 Need help and advice on your bird's behaviour, care and training?
