Avian Enrichment
Does the whole idea of enrichment confuse you? Wondering if you're doing it right, wrong, or doing it at all? Debbie will walk us through various categories of enrichment and provide some outside-the-box activities and ideas to keep our birds busy. The right kind of enrichment can prevent boredom and enhance a bird's quality-of-life. A physically engaged bird is a healthier bird. Teaching our birds various active and enriched behaviors will help them to thrive in our homes. Debbie is a certified behavior consultant and professional bird trainer.
