Ever wondered how sleep, photoperiod, and reproductive behavior affect your bird's behavior?

Discover the critical roles of latitude, weather patterns, food availability, and flock structure in reproductive behavior, nesting hormone expression, and pair bonding. 

DID YOU KNOW THAT PHOTOPERIOD AND SLEEP GREATLY AFFECT YOUR PARROT'S HORMONE EXPRESSION?

• Have you been told your parrot needs to be covered from 7 pm - 7 am?
• Told your parrot needs 12 hours of sleep?
• Is your parrot biting?
• Is your African Grey looking for a nest in your bathroom?
• Is your parrot being possessive with a family member?

Parrot hormones get blamed for a lot of different behaviors

• Biting
• Screaming
• Attacking family members

It’s true that many parrots are seasonal breeders and can experience a surge of nesting behaviors during certain times of the year that lead to what we call hormonal behavior

It’s also true that the way we care for them keeps them in a less natural state of robustness that can keep them in the family way for longer periods of time

But hormonal behavior has become the scapegoat for a lot of our poor husbandry skills

The truth is, hormonal behavior is shorthand for reproductive-based behavior because hormones influence all kinds of behavior that look very different from one behavior to the next

Our lack of understanding is what helps keep them from being successful.,

We have a hard time recognizing the long-term fallout of how our actions impact relationships when that consequence isn’t immediate.

In this webinar, you will discover the critical roles of latitude, weather patterns, food availability, and flock structure in reproductive behavior, nesting hormone expression, and pair bonding.
