FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LGF <artistlgf(a)earthlink.net> Date: Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 11:28 AM Subject: UNteaching Parrot Aggression class at the Marin Humane Society To: Linda Fisher <artistlgf(a)earthlink.net> Having trouble viewing this email? Click here<http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=8f8n7ljab&v=0018sxp1v_8z…> *UNteaching Parrot Aggression:* *When: June 23rd 2012* 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm *Where:* Marin Humane Society Cost: $10 (Children under 12 are free) One on one consultation to answer your questions and to provide cutting edge techniques that will improve the relationship you have with your parrot! *Sign up: Call 415.883.4621 or visit: * *www.marinhumanesociety.org* A Voice 4 Parrots' is dedicated to helping parrots and their guardians by providing training and consultation based on cutting edge, humane and compassionate systems of Applied Behavior Analysis. ABA includes positive reinforcement to empower your companion parrot rather than controlling and dominating to achieve a desired outcome. The inherent wild traits of parrots, such as screaming, chewing, territorial aggression, and captivity-induced biting are some of the reasons parrots are surrendered and tragically... abused, neglected, and relegated to garages, basements and closets. Aggressive manhandling and archaic training methods are still being used by some parrot hobbyists and "behavior experts" to tame and to correct parrot behavior problems. The internet is flooded with videos that inadvertently expose harassment, abuse, and bullying of parrots under the guise of educating, entertainment, and video sharing. Although some parrot handlers claim to be "experts" in their field, their techniques are often cruel and insensitive solutions to parrot training and taming, causing permanent emotional and physical damage. A Voice 4 Parrots also understands that many responsible, caring individuals ventured into parrot guardianship, perhaps naively, not knowing or fully understanding the "wild" facts about parrots or the extensive responsibility of keeping parrots in captivity, and now they're asking questions and desperately need solutions. * Why does my parrot hate my husband but he loves me? * * * * My parrot is cuddly and tame most of the time, so why * * does she suddenly bite me for no reason? * * * * Why does my parrot scream? * * * * Why is my parrot plucking out his feathers and self-mutilating?* If you're a parrot guardian looking for answers, there is good news for you and your parrot! A Voice 4 Parrots provides training and consultation using the compassionate principles of Applied Behavior Analysis so you can start enjoying your relationship with your parrot and your parrot can live a more fulfilled, less stressful, happier life. Understanding the natural instincts of parrots and learning how to humanely and compassionately overcome behavior problems can literally save and enrich the lives of parrots. For The Love of Parrots, A Voice 4 Parrots * * Receive answers to your questions and learn new, cutting edge training techniques that are humane and based on natural behaviors. A Voice 4 Parrots has only one objective and that's to help parrots. There are no gimmicks, costly videos, or a string of books to order. A Voice 4 Parrots provides one on one, heart to heart answers to your questions and we can also refer you to other qualified parrot behaviorists. Private and group consultations are available in person or by phone. To learn more, contact Linda at A Voice 4 Parrots: *artistlgf(a)earthlink.net* A Voice 4 Parrots' profits benefit adoption promotions and Don't Breed Don't Buy campaigns. -- Elizabeth *MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue * * * *Subscribe to our newsletter. <http://eepurl.com/iWq1P>* * * *Please help us help birds in need.

New MickaCoo Calendar for Outreach & Events
by Elizabeth Young 14 Jun '12

14 Jun '12

Hello! I'm working on creating a MickaCoo Calendar that can be shared amongst us. I'm currently trying it with Google Calendar but am open to other suggestions if you know of a better option. I just sent out the first invite (for a small SF event on 6/23- corrected from my first attempt which went out as 6/14). If you'd like to have access to the MickaCoo Calendar and haven't received an invite (I've so far shared only with those who've already said yes to recent/pending events), please let me know. Thank you! More invites coming as I populate the Calendar with upcoming opportunities. e -- Elizabeth *MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue * * * *Subscribe to our newsletter. <http://eepurl.com/iWq1P>* * * *Please help us help birds in need.

Rescued Diamond Dove Needs Foster or Forever Home
by Elizabeth Young 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

Hello- A nice couple found this teeny diamond dove (they are a fraction of the size of ring neck doves- closer to canary size) with clipped wings sitting quite helpless in their driveway. They have taken it into the safety of their SF home for the short term but need to find a long-term home. Diamond doves do best with others of their kind. If you have DDs or know of someone who does that could help this little dear, please let me know ASAP. Rescuers are leaving for vacation 6/19 and so we've only got a week to figure it out. Thank you!
