The physical and mental wellbeing of the non-releasable birds in our care is extremely important to us. We want these birds to have the best lives possible while living under our care. One of our favorite quotes is: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better,” by Maya Angelou. We constantly strive to improve the ways we care for non-releasable ambassador birds by attending bird training seminars, conferences, and workshops with internationally recognized experts. We train our birds using positive reinforcement methods recommended by the International Association of Avian Trainers and Educators. We strive to use the least-intrusive methods possible, which results in confident, comfortable birds that have the power to make choices. If you would like more information or are interested in scheduling a presentation featuring live birds, please contact us.
Executive Director Katie Fallon and Avian Trainer & Educator Cheyenne Carter are both Certified Professional Bird Trainers - Knowledge Assessed (CPBT-KA), a certification given by the International Avian Trainers Certification Board.
