During part three of the discussion with Steve Martin, President Natural Encounters; Animal Behavior Consultant we learned that parrot behavior in captivity is not associated with parrot behavior in the wild. Hormones influence behavior but do not determine behavior. 'Force Free' training is not 100% force free. There are behavior myths. Redirected aggression is often confused with other behavior 'labels'. Interacting with your bird shapes behavior. Adjusting antecedents. Building trust with your parrot. Body language is the bird's voice. Positive Reinforcement-what it really is. Steve also shared with the listening audience on Bird Talk LIVE Online from Kansas City that Natural Encounters have a parrot mentoring service so pet bird owners may learn how to train their bird with the behavior they always wanted. The service includes your mentor watching videos of you and your bird to determine how to proceed in adjusting behavior.  www.naturalencounters.com www.birdtalkradio.com http://birdtalkradio.airtime.pro

Why not everyone are well suited to have a parrot. Bird behavior is a reflection of a person's ability to work with a parrot. Giving your parrot a voice according to your parrot's body language. Trust based relationship with parrots. Birds' behavior is due to environment more than genetics. Why World Parrot Trust pays poachers and much more during this very informative, interesting bird talk radio show pre-recorded LIVE in Kansas City! www.naturalencounters.com www.worldparrottrust.org www.birdtalkradio.com http://facebook.com/kcbirdwhisperer

How stressing pet birds releases virus that is dormant in the bird like psittacosis. Stimulating birds to be hormonal, sexually active. Orgs in the USA largest contributors to aviculture. Aviculture is not dead. Another call during this show for breeders and rescues to work together to save species from extinction. Birds cannot be imported to the USA. There is a need to continue breeding in the USA or there will eventually be no pet birds in the USA. Tony talks about species that used to be abundant that are now almost gone or completely disappeared. The Reality of aviculture and keeping pet birds. Tony suggests that aviculturists see parrots in the wild. He also offered to help people arrange expeditions to areas where parrots originate from to study them in the wild. Tony talks about what it is like to take a boat in the Amazon to study parrots in the wild. No luxuries. Tony announced an avicultural convention in Spain in March 2020. Tony shares about 28 years to publish his new book Psittaculture. www.psittaculture.eu to obtain a copy of the new book published in many languages. Nobody really get rich in aviculture. It's about the bird love. Large aviaries for breeding or rescue, sanctuaries are expensive.  https://www.facebook.com/tony.silva.1441 http://www.birdtalkradio.com http://birdtalkradio.airtime.pro

In the course of almost four years hosting Bird Talk LIVE Online on Bird Talk Radio I have learned many new things during every show. Enjoy this highlight of the entire conversation with Leslie Moran of bestbirdfoodever.com and healthybirdproject.org I learned from Leslie Moran much about sprouting bird food. That water quality is very important when sprouting foods. Using distilled water to sprout foods removes or leachesnutrients from the sprouting foods. Tap water may have high arsenic levels. Sprouting blend can be cooked into a mash or sprouted in a jar. Parrots health problems can be reversed or cured with the holistic approach to caring for your pet bird. Sprouting blends are a complete protein. The absence of complete proteins in parrot diet and humans causes malnutrition resulting in sickness, disease, debilitating health problems and fatalities.
