About this Event
Unlock the secret to a happier, healthier parrot!
Join certified animal trainer and behaviorist Melanie Canatella of Fluff and Feathers for a fun, interactive workshop focused on parrot enrichment and foraging. Learn why providing daily mental stimulation is just as essential as food, water, and vet care—and how to make it fun and manageable for YOU.
Parrots spend 6–8 hours a day foraging in the wild, but in captivity they may spend less than an hour eating. This class will teach you how to bring that natural behavior back into your bird's life to reduce boredom, increase confidence, and improve behavior.
Topics Covered:
- Why enrichment matters for parrots
- What foraging is and how it helps reduce unwanted behaviors (like screaming, feather destruction, and repetitive behaviors)
- Simple DIY enrichment ideas using everyday materials
- Contrafreeloading (yes, it’s a real thing—and birds love it!)
- How to make enrichment work with your busy schedule
- Hands-on foraging toy setup and origami treat pouch demos
Each ticket gets you 1 enrichment kit. Limit 2 people per ticket.
