Learn to train and tame your fine-feathered friend
Marin Humane Society Hosts Free Bird Care Seminar
(NOVATO, CALIF., February 7, 2007) — Birds have become increasingly popular as pets in recent years, yet many people remain unaware of the challenges of caring for them. To help bird guardians prevent or correct behavior problems, Mickaboo Cockatiel Rescue will present a free Bird Basics seminar Saturday, March 3 from 10 am – noon at the Marin Humane Society (171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato).The seminar is appropriate for anyone considering adopting a bird, and is also an excellent resource for bird guardians with questions about their bird’s behavior.
Bird Basics will address proper avian care and diet, symptoms of illness and first aid, general husbandry, taming and training, and much more. “Every year, thousands of birds are relinquished to shelters when frustrated guardians discover they don’t have the proper skills or knowledge to care for them,” says Morgan Lance, MHS humane education coordinator. “Bird Basics is designed to give bird guardians, and those thinking of adding a bird to their family, the tools they need to create a lasting bond with their avian friend.”
Mickaboo Cockatiel Rescue is an organization of volunteers in the Bay Area that cares for birds who are sick, injured, stray or abandoned. Through educational seminars, Mickaboo shows caregivers how to build a positive, respectful relationship with their fine-feathered friends.
This event is FREE of charge. For more information or to register, please call (415) 506-6288.
