Bird Sociability Ratings
     The majority of our handfed pet-quality Conures, smaller Parrots, Parrotlets & Cockatiels are transferred progressively from our Forest Park nursery into our in-home "kindergarten", where they receive sociability & "group therapy" training together with a variety of other species. Our two small dogs, Rita & Silvy, try to get involved too!  This initial handling & socialising work is conducted every couple of days by our Associate, Debbie Ryan, now, like Dr.Geoff above,  a well-experienced PIJAC-registered Certified Avian Specialist.
     During the course of this Yr.2009, Debbie & Geoff have developed further & recently published our seemingly novel "Pet Bird Sociability Rating Scale", which ranges from "zero" (for an essentially untamed breeder-quality bird) to a rating of "10+" (for a handfed, very docile, person-bondable, family-friendly bird, who will approach the handler with minimal persuasion, does repeated step-ups, etc).
     Please remember, of course, that the real need is for the bird-to-human bonding process to be carried out and maintained by the bird's new owner, preferably by purchasing the bird early in order to maximise the bird's trust in the new owner.
     Deb can be contacted directly on such handling & preliminary training matters at 440-238-5539, or by e-mail at dsryan@wowway.com .    Our sincere thanks to all of you - and please let us have any of your constructive feedback on this first May 2009  issue of our Newsletter.
