Healthy Mind and Healthy Body: video conference

Owning and raising a confident and happy bird requires certain communication skills. This topic was extensively covered in a conference given by Dr.Lupu that was filmed as a valuable reference tool.

This bird behaviour conference explains the verbal and non-verbal language of bird communication. The 2 hour video covers: how a bird thinks, why birds do what they do, instinctual behaviours, what behaviours we must accept, how to modify or avoid inappropriate behavior, birds social structure and interactions, and finally what your bird needs from you in order to feel secure.
