A successful start to learning!

Welcome to Parrot Preschool!

Does your bird take treats?

Our most successful learners feel comfortable taking treats from their caregivers. If you’ve already tried giving your little one treats, and they won’t eat them or they drop them, we can help set you BOTH up for success! The most common reasons birds don’t accept treats are either that their diets need adjusting OR they might be feeling nervous. Whatever the reason, with a few easy sessions with Cassie, you and your little learner will be right as rain!

Diet Conversion

Diet conversions are simple and extremely successful. In the Diet Conversion Program, Cassie will help you develop a healthy diet for your parrot, teach you how to track consumption, and coach you through implementing your parrot’s diet conversion, too. Your bird will be excited about their treats and ready to dive into learning in no time!

Reduce Fear Responses

While learning enrichment and fun training activities build trust and reduce fear responses, very nervous birds that aren’t taking treats will need an extra dose of support. Cassie will guide you through the process of reducing your parrot’s fear response and help your bird grow comfortable accepting treats and interacting with you!
