Barbara Heidenreich is a very dear friend and an expert animal trainer. I have attended several of her classes on parrot training, read her books and shared her DVD with people that could not attend Barbara's classes.

I met Barbara several years ago when we were volunteers cleaning parrot cages. I urge you to check out her website, www.GoodBirdInc.com, read her magazine and attend her training programs.

Believe it or not, I once had my own parrot (Tarah, my blue fronted amazon) fly out a door. I NEVER thought it would happen to me. He rarely flies and I had always been so careful. Fortunately I was able to get my bird back right away.
