Parrot Behavior Consulting
Welcome! Great for you in wanting to learn how you can best work toward pet bird behavior solutions in the most positive ways!
I can help with problems such as biting and screaming. Please see below for another respected certified parrot behavior consultant who I also recommend for helping you with your parrot behavioral issues.
There was a time when I shared my home with three birds, and, while I have had a whole range of animals including dogs, it was my having a behavior issue with my Timneh African Grey named Barnaby that first opened my journey in learning about behavioral science. My very first teacher and mentor is Dr. Susan Friedman, who pioneered the application of applied behavior science (ABA) to captive and companion animals worldwide. I have taken numerous of her classes, including a three day workshop in Orlanda, Florida led by Dr. Friedman and internationally renowned trainer, Steve Martin of Natural Encounters; and workshops from internationally renowned trainer Barbara Heidenreich.
With my ABA education, I am a certified parrot behavior consultant (CPBC) through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.
For online parrot behavior help (I am only working with clients in the United States due to time differences), many behavior issues will require multiple consultations.
For online assistance, you will need internet with Zoom or Skype, and it will be helpful if you have the ability to use a video camera.
My focus is on solving pet behavior issues using scientifically sound strategies that are the most positive, and these may (and usually do) include a combination of environmental changes as well as training.

I have been working with Lisa for over a year now and she is one of the only people I have found that help with bird training!!
She came to my house and gave me tips and tricks for my caique and then continued to provide support via zoom calls as
I needed. She really leads with empathy and problem solving solutions to address any and all concerns. The bird community is small
and I’m so glad to have found her! It has been tremendously helpful to have an unbiased opinion as to what I’m doing well and
not well with my bird. She also provides links to information to watch and read and other online bird training programs which I have
attended and loved. If you are willing to put her work into action and spend the time on it you will see improvement!! Highly
recommend her to anyone wanting help and advice with their birds.
