| Birds trained with
totally positive methods quickly become your partner in training. In
addition to providing birds for professional shows,
Wendy has also re-trained many problem pet birds, given up because of aggressive behavior
toward their owners. After learning a few tricks, they are no longer fearful or
aggressive. They become well-mannered performers and love
training. Wild caught birds respond the
same way.
Wendy now helps pet bird owners to enjoy
these benefits of positive reinforcement training. Your birds may never perform
before an audience, but the beneficial side effects to training 'trick' behaviors
at home is still the same.

Rainbow,
a parent-raised Harlequin, was sent to Wendy
because he had never been handled. At 3
years, he was as unruly as a wild imported
bird, but very wise to all the best ways to
avoid human contact. After six months of
Wendy's training, he was retrieving (photo at
left) and doing several other behaviors. |

E-Mail
List for Bird Training
|
|
Bird-Click, the e-mail list based at www.Yahoogroups.com,
was started by Melinda Johnson and Wendy Jeffries in 1997. They
have counseled thousands of pet bird owners who learn to give up the old force-based traditional bird training methods.
Teaching a bird tricks using a
clicker and treats builds a great relationship with your bird. Once
familiar with the training process, you can use the same methods to teach
no-stress nail filing and wing trimming.
