Tools for Parrot Problem Solving
*******Prerequisite: Introduction to Avian Behavior*********
Does your parrot (or anything else that lives with you) have behaviors that drive you batty? This class addresses the function of undesired behaviors, and looks at ways to replace them with something you can live with. We will be using the science behind behavior taught in Avian Behavior and Training.
