Behavior Consultations

CPC offers solutions designed to meet the individual needs of your bird and your family "flock." Trained staff assess each situation including personality, behavior, medical history and living circumstances, in order to make recommendations tailored to resolve specific behavioral or training issues. Ongoing specialized support is available in person or by phone or e-mail.

CPC is a charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit avian welfare organization, and 25% of your behavior consultation fee is tax deductible.
 

 
IN-HOME CONSULTATIONS >

Home visits are a very effective and efficient way to evaluate a bird's behavior and training needs. By visiting the bird's environment, we are able to determine causes and triggers for behavioral issues. Initial home visits are required for local* clients (follow-ups may be in-home, telephone or e-mail). details and pricing  >

AVIAN VETERINARY CARE >

Many “behavioral” problems such as plucking and self-mutilation are actually symptoms of a health problem.
Before beginning the consultation process, CPC will request assurance that your qualified avian veterinarian
has examined your bird, and that he or she agrees that the behavior problem is not a medical issue.

 

 
A NOTE ON "GUARANTEES" >

Please be aware that no-one can guarantee the behavior of any living creature. While CPC tailors its consultations and training programs to match the individual personality traits and behavior patterns of each bird, much of the parrot's success depends on the owners' compliance with the environmental and training recommendations.
