HERE'S THE STORY…
Avian Behavior Lab is dedicated to online learning based on our work at our training center at Avian Behavior International in gorgeous San Diego county, California. Founded by Hillary Hankey as a way to connect people with animals through progressive training skills, Hillary wanted ABI to an incubator for ideas and a safe place for creativity in training to be fostered.
Hillary's vision with Avian Behavior Lab is to create a community where parrot lovers, animal professionals, and behavior nerds can build their skills and find the best information to answer some of the most troubling problems. The Lab offers fast, sustainable solutions for complex issues that face parrot owners with biting birds, animal trainers that want to train their ambassadors husbandry behaviors in addition to their interpretive behaviors, and helps solve animal behavior problems large and small.
Our team brings you experience, wisdom, mentorship, enthusiasm, and creativity that you won't find just in any old Facebook group. We know you are busy. We know you need results. And we know how to get you there. Time is a non-renewable resource. No need to waste it trying to filter out the social nonsense.

My experience with Hillary Hankey and her expert Avian Behavior International colleagues and amazing animals was inspiring. Although I have studied the application of behavior science to animal behavior and training in many hands-on work-shops, I highly recommend Hillary Hankey and Avian Behavior International where you can learn, regardless of your level of skill, in a highly supportive and enriching multi-species environment set in the stunningly beautiful hills of Escondido, California.

I have learned much from your webinars and the "classes" you put on the website. It makes me feel better that I am not alone in rearing our feathered babies with too much love and affection. Well, my 27 yr old Goffin still pulls out all her feathers but has reduced her screaming. Those are my two big issues with her. Sunny reduced her screaming at nite. Prior to this, she woke up about 10PM and screamed for 30 minutes. I ignored those screams but drove my mate crazy! Also, reduced her morning wake up screaming. Yay!
