Killing 2 Amys with 1 Stone

Turns out calling someone “bird brained” isn’t an insult at all... Join the Amys and their exotic guest, Certified Parrot Behavior Consultant, founder of Parrot SOS, and ultimate wingwoman, Robin Horemans, as they swoop into the fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) world of parrot behavior. Parrots possess an extremely high degree of cognitive and emotional intelligence, which can get them into trouble. From screaming and biting, to feather-plucking and household chaos, we explore the most common behavior challenges faced by captive parrots and the families who love them. Is it ethical to keep birds as pets? Where do captive birds come from? How can we keep our feathered friends happy and thriving? Put your best shoulder forward, grab a cocktail and a cockatiel, and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz, courtesy of your favorite VBees 🐝🐝, on the latest episode of Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast. Talk to me, Goose.
