We rarely start at the beginning, except of course in fairytales and murder mysteries.

Without looking back to the beginning of hook bills it's important to realize that as humans you must try overcome 99 years of instinctual expectations.

The first pet parakeet was given to Alexander the great in the mid 15th century, now known the Alexandrine parakeet

After 600 years of captive bird care, we haven't out figured - the birds are still angry.

We disrupt their light cycles

We offer pellets although there is no history of pellet trees in the rain forest

We place their bird cage in front of big picture windows thinking they're happy while in fact they're terrified of the hawk they just saw not understanding the concept of glass.

Birdcage housing is an environmental decision not to be chosen from a list of recommended specifications.

Accessorizing a birdcage can be as complicated as learning about the 600+ hook bills that we are compelled to take them out of the sky.

I will always ask someone  seeking a bird (we do not sell them) what their feelings are about vacuuming?

If you don't like to vacuum, don't get a bird!

These lectures offer holistic, real-time solutions that will require an effort on your part.

This course is just a roadmap.
