Some parrots become difficult to handle and others can have conditions such as plucking or mutilating. People become frightened of their bites and angry at their noise. We will work with these birds to try and change the negative behaviors. We also assist owners that wish to keep their parrots by offering behavior assesstments and education to help parrot owners that need assistance and want to keep their birds.
It should be pointed out however, it has been our experience after many attempts to place birds back into their original homes after behaviour modifications, that the parrot will revert back to the old behaviour patterns. We have found that most behaviour issues are generated more for owners lack of knowledge , lack of consistency or fears. Environmental issues can play a part as well as issues from a previous environment. The only way to change behaviours permanently is for the present owners to work on behaviour modifications in their own home. We can help you to learn techniques that will help your parrot overcome various issues this way. The other alternative is to surrender the parrot so that once the behaviour modifications are done, the parrot is placed into a new adoptive home.
The chances of the behaviour modifications when done here and then returning the parrot back in the originating home are extremely low. There are many factors that causes this. The familiarity of the environment, old habits return quickly. Also parrots retain their memories and recall the issues that may have created the behaviour issues to begin with.
