So You Think You Want A Parrot? 
Thinking about getting a feathered friend?  Wonder what type of bird would best suit your lifestyle?  This program covers some of the common breeds of parrots that are kept as pets.  Learn about noise level, talking capabilities, personalities, time requirements and other important considerations of each species to help you find a companion bird you can live with.  Can be set up as a private or group session.

"Parrot"ing 101 
Are you a new bird owner?  Want to learn the necessities of caring for your new companion?  This is the session for you!  I'll teach you about nutrition, exercise, toys, cage accessories, showering, do's and don'ts of training and much more.  Call to set up a private session in your home or mine. 

All about Parrots
Learn about how these beautiful jewels of the rainforest live in the wild and why their numbers are diminishing. I bring my birds and discuss the status of each of their species as well as answer questions.(Approx. 30 minutes to 1 hour) For older children and adults.

Meet the Flock
Sandi and her feathered friends, P.J. (the Cockatoo), Skye (the macaw), cute little Tanga and Gizmo (the conures), and Cherry (the eclectus) to this 45 minute program about parrots of the wild.  Sandi reads "The Parrots and Papa Bois" by Lynette Comissiong, a Caribbean folktale about how the parrots learned to talk, and introduces Ollie and his friends to the audience.  She discusses interesting facts about each of their species and how they would live in the wild. A fun and fast paced program that easily fits into classroom rainforest units. Program can be adjusted to be age appropriate.  Small or medium sized groups, please.
