The following information on this webinar is from the ASPCAPro website:

“Behavior problems are a common reason why pet birds are relinquished to shelters. Many of these “problem” behaviors are normal bird behaviors that pet owners do not expect or accept. What if you could help pet owners understand, prevent, and manage these avian behaviors before they give up on their birds?

In this free, 60-minute webinar, exotic animal veterinarian and board certified behaviorist Dr. Valarie Tynes will discuss how to recognize the most commonly seen pet avian behavior problems. She will also explore why these problems develop and how to aid bird owners and potential adopters. Her guidance will also be useful for shelters and rescue who care for birds.”
