Hi!!!

I want to thank you so much for your training course for my parrot, JoJo.

I adopted him from someone who abused him terribly. He had chewed one of his toes off (before I got him 4 months ago) because he was put on a wet floor that was just washed with Mr. Clean and not rinsed or dried. He ended up in the basement of this person’s home with no attention.

His chest & thighs were completely picked apart – he was naked! The only feathers he had were on his head & wings.

He was very, very skiddish and would hardly let me put food in his bowl or give him fruit without wanting to bite my fingers off. He hardly spoke out of fear.

Having followed your training course it’s incredible how our relationship has changed.

He gives me kisses on my cheek, takes showers with me, he waves, plays games with me, eats dinner with me and his feathers are coming back! We are now working on his potty training…..That’s our next endeavor….He even gets along with my cats and they play together.

Every day we learn new things together.

I cannot thank you enough. This course has allowed me to help train my parrot to be a happier bird… Thank YOU, again!!!

I ordered the training materials to assist in working with our parrot, who had developed the habit of ear-piercing shrieking and random biting, hard enough to draw blood.

We were about to find him a new home.

However, your techniques regarding responding to shrieking episodes have really helped. He is much more calm and playful. His biting attempts, handled in the way you suggest (moving into the bite) have dropped considerably, and he is not biting as hard.

Despite owning and reading two bird books, we were unaware of the accurate information regarding hours of light he should experience in a day, and hours of darkness needed, and we have adjusted his schedule.

He is clearly a more content bird. Thank you.

Today I had D.J. on my hand, which he would never do, unless I had a towel on my hand because he would bite me viciously, but today I tried the thing where you pet him with the sticks on each side then move closer with my hands, and that made a lot of progress.

He has already made a big change, now I can actually hold and pet him! What a difference!

Hello

I'd first like to tell you just a bit about our parrot, Dylan.

We never planned to have a bird or indeed ever even thought about getting one. However, our son, Scott, rescued him in a local park with the aid of a quaver crisp.

Poor little thing was very, very frightened and used to spend all day literally screaming, which as you can imagine was driving me crazy - right up to the point of wanting to find him a new home.

Hence I looked on the net and found your training course. I am glad to say that he is now a much happier parrot, the screaming has reduced considerably and we now have chats several times a day.

He is such an intelligent little bird. He wolf whistles, whistles little tunes we have taught him, and we also ask him every day "are you alright?" to which he replies "I'm alright, are you alright?"! He is such a star. and I am so grateful to have found your information.

I have gone from a quivering, tearful, frustrated bird rescuer, to the proud owner of Dylan the parrot who in his own words is "alright".

Thank you for your information which has helped me understand so much more.

Hi!!!

I have been very pleased. I have read and listened to everything I can get my hands on to date, and your course, Macaw Secrets, has been the most helpful.

It’s critical to begin training a companion parrot correctly as soon as possible to avoid future behavioral issues. A solid knowledge base is key, and your Macaw Secrets course has helped me with that.

I have a 4 1/2 month old bird. To date, Yuri can wave, do the ‘big eagle’ and best of all…he is potty trained. All of this without any negative reinforcement.

As a bonus, he’s stopped nipping and is thoroughly comfortable with being handled, even though I did not specifically address these issues. A very nice bonus of training!!!!

Brooks wrote back a few days later saying:

I’ve gotten another bird since we last corresponded as well, and in three days she’s step up/down trained, AND she’s potty trained!

Thanks for the training tips!!!!

Your training course has helped me do a great amount with my parrot.

At first my parrot wouldn’t even step onto my hand, but with your training course I was not only able to get him to step onto my hand, but I was also able to teach him how to shake my hand through the Wave.

My parrot now is very friendly towards everybody and looks forward to getting out of his cage and onto people’s hands.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your training course. It has worked wonders with my parrot, Sam. His talking has improved, and I am much more confident in handling him and understanding him.

I would highly recommend the training course to anyone who owns a parrot or is thinking of buying one. The course offers so much help and understanding with parrots and is helpful and easy to understand.

Thank you very much,

I liked the course I purchased from you.

The E-books were very easy to download and I like how you broke down the categories so I can go directly to what I need to know. Each category is easy to understand and very much into detail. My bird has learned how to wave and he is only 5 months old. We are now working with shaking hands.

Hello,

My husband and I have started taking showers with our bird named Cosmo. He absolutely LOVES it, and I would never have tried without reading your book.

His screeching and screaming (which is the reason I purchased her E-book) has also died down considerably. We leave the room completely and go back in and praise him when he stops. We have also learned that remaining calm and speaking softly to him but not leaving our seats until he stops works remarkably well as well.

Thank you so much for putting you ideas in writing! He is so much more enjoyable (in his adolescent years)! 🙂

Thanks – Terry & Rene St. John

I had the opportunity to be able to use your training on my new parrot, and I’m very satisfied with the results I’m getting.

I started the course by reading the material on getting your bird to love you, and which bird to buy. To be honest the bird was kind of shy when she came home about 1 week ago, and she was biting my fingers. So I did as you have said to let her bite them, and now what she does is that she bites them so soft because she wants me to touch her head with them. She enjoys to be petted.

I’m trying also the part that you teach us how to feed your bird in low quantities, so that’s the next step I’ll take.

My bird is 4 months old, and in the next few days I’ll read the other materials on training her to play games, etc…

For now I’m happy to get the response I’m getting from my new friend, Paulita Margarita. Thank you very much.

After reading the Macaw Secrets, my parrot only being here for a few weeks are playing on their homemade wall mounted jungle gym, making their way back to their cage when hungry and thirsty and taking rides on our fingers (even my 4 year old).

As I speak to them, I can see d irect eye contact, their eyes just light up. We can tell that they are concentrating intently on what we are saying. Though their flying feathers have not come back completely, they are still starting to venture around the house despite the other household pets who watch them, and almost appear to protect them.

This book puts its ideas into terms that you can understand, many things not thought of by the general population such as bathing, preventing illness, trying fresh food snacks and links to where you can buy supplies. There are useful tips about cage placement, ideas on how to make your bird comfortable and happy in any location and definite direction as to WHAT NOT TO DO.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about having birds as house pets of any breed.

I just loved the training course.

I adopted a parrot 2 years ago and have not been able to train him at all. In his last home he did not have much attention. so I have been struggling with biting and screaming for some time.

I have been doing the techniques in your course now for about 2 weeks. Screaming is less and I am now able to hold Cocoa. He comes out of his cage and walks the floor to find me.

This course has helped us a lot to have a nice companion for my family. Cocoa has even calmed down enough to let my youngest of 5 children (1 1/2 year old) pet him – with supervision of course. Very nice!

I thank you so much for the time and effort.

I love the course, I have two parrots.

There was so much information that seems to work for both of them. I would strongly recommend this training course for anyone who wants a great deal and fantastic customer service. I like the fact that I am not forgotten after the sale, and you still send me all kinds of new articles as well as training ideas.

Thank you

I have found all of your training course very useful.

After having tried for about 5 weeks he is saying all sorts of things – including his name and his favorite at the moment, “night night”!

We love him to bits. The methods we have tried are as in your course i.e. Repetition and Association. Morgan easily picks up sounds and phrases and loves to whistle. We spend as much time as possible with Morgan when we are not at work. and he is always eager to get out of his cage onto his perch. At first we could not get him out, but we put his perch near his cage and after a while he realized he was coming out and is now very noisy if we don’t let him out within minutes of arriving home.

The book about interpreting parrot body language was very useful to us because we now know when he is happy and when he is not.

Also, your information about parrot diets was very interesting because we now know what to give him and what not to give him.

Finally, the book on biting was excellent. It makes very interesting reading, and in fact we used the methods in this book to stop Morgan from biting us when we first got him.

I am more than pleased to have spent my money on this training course and associated parts because it has been very helpful to my family in starting to train Morgan.

I have really benefitted from your training course.

Sherlock, my parrot, is extremely intelligent. He not only can imitate voices, sounds, words, sentences, etc, he understands concepts. He knows when it’s time to go to work or church, he knows when it’s clean-up time, and he can have full conversations with himself that make sense.

After receiving your course of study, I realized how wrongly I was trying to train Sherlock. Today, he finally responded correctly when I made my request to count, and he received a treat and praise as a reward. We are on our way to successful training.

Another problem I have, is that Sherlock makes a beeping sound every time I sit down to eat. He expects to get some of my supper. Your course has helped me to start correcting that problem. He is starting to realize that he only gets some pasta (which he loves) or other treat, when he is quiet or responds to my requests.

Thanks to your course, I now have the proper techniques to train Sherlock to do what I want him to, when I want him to.

Thanks for your dedication to training birds, and for your concern with each one of your students. I imagine that your other students are as appreciative as I am.

Thanks, again!

I have had my parrot, Dooney for 1 month today. After bringing her (I think it’s a her) home from the bird store she was the sweetest little bird going, but after one day on top of her cage by herself, she turned into the devil bird.

I came home from work after having left her out of her cage (cause she likes being out) and when I approached her she turned into a lunging, biting devil bird. She tried to bite me and everyone in the family. I absolutely panicked and called my son to see if something had happened when I wasn’t home that could have caused this. He said no.

I thought I had screwed up but I found your training course and immediately ordered.

Now after learning that she was controlling me and everyone around her, I am back in control. She did try to bite me this morning, and I let her know she wasn’t the boss.

It’s funny because you can look at her facial expressions and see that she is trying to figure out what she can get away with and when she’ll be in trouble. After reading your training, and learning how to put myself in control, she doesn’t generally try to bite me, but she’ll try to push my hand away with her beak.

That tells me that she is communicating with me but doesn’t feel the urge to bite me.

Hello,

I think your training course is wonderful.

I have had my new companion “Angel Pie” for about three months now and she is already etched on my heart. My cat, Brittany (Himalayan Persian – 14 years old) loves her too!

I applied your techniques to stop my bird from biting the first day I got your info and she was almost completely cured of that habit within a week – and within two weeks – no more biting. Now she only gives little “love” bites.

Thank you so much for your training course!

Great training course!

I learned so much from all of it. The food section has changed the way my parrot eats and with little resistance. The sleep section (on hours of light) was something I did not know. Within a few days my Jac-ee was a different bird! The age definitions totally explained why Jac-ee acts like a sometimes bratty teenager.

I cannot say enough about all that I learned from your course, and Jac-ee too! We are “high four-ing” now! Thank You Thank You Thank You.

I will read your course over and over again, it is a great reference guide.

We were quite excited to find your website and once we began receiving the instructional emails we had to know more, so we ordered your ebook. My husband and I absolutely loved it! We are first time bird owners and have purchased a parrot (Mr. Grey) as a handfed baby and another parrot (P.J.) as an adolescent (which has some undesirable personality traits). We were doing several things absolutely wrong, and your book made absolute sense! We were trying to train our birds the way we do our dogs!

WRONG! We now have faith that with your guidance we can rear Mr. Grey properly and correct P.J.’s behavior and be able to provide them a permanent loving home.

Hi,

I received my training course and I have worked with my birds for a couple of weeks, and I can see a big difference in them.

I want to thank you for the training course it has really helped me and my fingers are not sore all the time from my birds always biting. The biting has been reduced and I am so proud of my birds.

Your product has made me more knowledgeable about my bird.

I have started working with my pet, and I am already starting to see improvements. Your product is excellent.

I thought it was extremely informative. It helped me and my 2 new birds bond. It showed me not to be scared of them and how to handle them properly. They did bite me at first but, I read in the e-book what to look for and it really works. They are easier to handle and play with now. I am very glad I bought the e-book.

I am very skeptical of on-line products. The transaction was very secure, I am very pleased with the e-book. By the way, this was the first e-book I have ever bought. It was very easy to download. I am a satisfied customer.

Thanks for your helpful information.

Sincerely,
Donna Lonsiak

I found your parrot training courses easy to understand and follow. With a little patience and good humor it’s possible to follow Nathalie’s information and train your bird to be a wonderful, life-long companion. My bird Sapphire is screaming less and I’m enjoying her more. What more could you ask?

Hi,

I’m a stranger to downloading E-books and was a little worried if I was doing the right thing… But I finally made up my mind…

Downloading your book, or should I say books, was so simple that I didn’t believe that they had downloaded… Sure enough there they were… so quick… so simple… so worthwhile.

I found your information extremely valuable. Plus…this is a BIG plus…your enthusiasm in your writing is overwhelming… This straight forward… no nonsense composite guide is a great read about the well-being and upkeep, plus highly effective training techniques on parrots… and I’ve read

I have found that the best part of your course is in the educating yourself on behalf of your bird and learning why they do what they do. You also stress the part of spending quality time and the placing of your bird in the house where they can see and hear you.

We have an eight month old parrot and already it is spoiled and thinks it is, and has always been, a part of the family. I can’t remember having so much fun. Gracie jumps down off her perch and wanders through the house looking for me if I stay out. Her vocabulary is amazing. She rattles on for 45 minutes at a time. She is constantly learning new words and phrases.

I believe it is because where I read that you should spend quality time with them and become their friend. She has bonded with both my wife and me, and either one of can and does feed and baths her. She likes to sit on my shoulder and watch TV, while I feed her sun flower seeds. She has, from spending time, learned to trust me, and I am sure that I now have been adopted as part of her flock.

Keep up the good work, and if you come up with new stuff let me know.

I am writing back about your training course. My husband and I have been reading and searching for the right bird for us. We have actually decided to go with a parrot at Petsmart in Burnsville, Minnesota.

However, we have spent a lot of time looking, holding, and playing with all different birds. I have read some of your training course and it has helped minimize a lot if pet stores that don’t take care of their birds properly.

I am very glad we purchased your training course, and I believe it will help us in the long run with our Dusky.

With regard your training course my comments are as follows:

I wish I had got your course before getting my parrot. I found I was really struggling with my parrot as he would only allow me to touch him.

Since sharing your course with the whole family, we have progressed to the level where my wife can now pick him up and take him around the house. In fact he now even follows her even when I’m in the room. He is far more tolerant of the children (5 & 7 yrs) and has now really become the family bird, not just mine.

The E-books on diet and health were very informative and helpful. You also provide insight on maintaining your parrot. After reading this I was horrified at how my bird’s wing had been clipped. My family and myself refer back to your course continually. Potty training was also helpful, and we are halfway there with having our bird potty trained.

Hi,

I invested in your training course after purchasing a young female parrot. She was hand fed as a baby, but then the pet store made the mistake of putting her back in a cage with her siblings. She had become hostile and fearful of humans, and the pet store employees had nicknamed her “Jaws” because of her defensive biting when they caught her with their hands.

I’m a counselor, so I love a challenge, and I felt a bond when the little creature cuddled under my flannel shirt. I took her home and named her M.

The course was helpful, especially the chapter on problem behaviors, and how to get your parrot to love you. In no time she was stepping up onto a wooden perch, and she has not seriously bitten me now in about 3 weeks. To the contrary, she skitters to the end of the wood perch I use to Step Up, and cuddles in the hollow of my hand insisting I rub her head and neck. It’s pretty amazing. It was also helpful to know which fruits and veggies I can safely feed my bird.

I find a parrot the perfect bird for a middle aged professional who works long hours at the office. Her life expectancy does not exceed mine, which is one less worry.

Her playpen is small enough to sit on the end table next to my recliner while I read or watch TV, allowing us daily time together. They naturally like to hide in pockets and shirts, which makes them adorable and convenient.

Hi,

Your training course was of immense help to me. Even with limited time due to two new babies in the house – one of the bird variety and one of the human variety, I have seen a dramatic change in the way that my parrot interacts with me and my husband.

I was concerned when we first bought him as he was showing an extreme level of nervousness and aloofness as birds tend to do. However, I believe it is your program that has trained us to interact with our new baby.

Thank you so much for your insight and practical tips. I will not hesitate to recommend your training program to any bird owner.

Yours sincerely

Hi,

I was really depressed because I got sick and had to retire early. I bought a parrot which I named “Chi-Chi”. He was scared to death of me at first until I purchased your course. Now he is tamed and knows I am his other “Daddy”. He is a very happy bird. Sings “All’ day long! He has added to my life richly. Thanks to following some of the simple training methods described your course I was able to bring much “Joy” to his life as he brings to our home. Thank You!!!

I am thrilled with your parrot training course. Your knowledge and understanding of these beautiful creatures is extraordinary.

I am a studio musician and producer, well known for playing the guitar on such shows as Seinfeld and Married With Children, as well as being a member of the Grammy award winning musical act Manhattan Transfer, Jean Luc Ponty and rocker Bryan Adams.

I have a parrot named Renge. He loves to accompany me in the car, in the recording studio and even for a ride on my scooter. Although I have to use a leash on the scooter. Your course has helped me build a relationship with him so he can be free around the house as well as the recording studio.

After 6 days with your course, Renge, who was already murmuring some words, is clearly saying Peekaboo, Baby Bird, C’mon, and Goodnite. He doesn’t yet do it on command,but we are working on it. I am also working on the response to my questions exercise that you mention in your great book.

Your chapter on nutrition and feeding has opened a world of new foods for him to enjoy. I had been feeding him only “pretty bird” conure food and a piece of apple each day. Now he enjoys fruits and veggies, pasta, and I’ve even taken him to a couple of restaurants where he shares for example, rice at the Mexican restaurant.

There is much fun work to do thanks to your Macaw Secrets and I intend to get good at this as he gets better and better.

This past week there was a bird feeder making class at the HUTCHINGS MUSEUM in Lehi Utah. I was invited to bring Renge, and the 20 or so children loved him. The museum, upon hearing that it was Renge’s birthday on May 1st, (he will be 1 year) has offered the museum for his birthday party. Now if that isn’t a testament to him and your training methods, I don’t know what is.

Thank you

Where do I start about your training course? First. I have been involved with avians of all sorts, but particularly parrots, since I was 8 years old… dating myself that would be 37 years. I have always been to many bird seminars, & I have tried to read everything I can get my hands on about information that I had not previously learned about or read elsewhere.

I had for the most part been a parrot person. Your course has been especially helpful in getting my parrot, Gabby, started on her speech, she now says ” Hi Gabby, Hello, Love you too & Gabby like?” I couldn’t believe how quickly she started & how soon she perfected the words. She speaks very clearly.

We are currently working on some trick ideas, as my daughter wants to be on “Pet Stars” and is determined to take Gabby to Hollywood.

I have shared some of your information on the biting & screaming issues with a dear friend of mine (although I advised her to purchase them for herself, which I believe she did), who rescued a Double yellow head, who had all his negative behaviors reinforced by his previous owners. She is reporting no blood draw for over a week, and the screaming stops with just a little “flock whistle” when she leaves the room.

So I must thank you so much for myself, as well as my girlfriend. She was really getting close to the end which would’ve meant I would have inherited her bird, & I am really quite content at the moment with my pet numbers. So thank you again for saving me from adopting one more parrot in need of reform, by helping my girlfriend through your training courses, to gain confidence, be able to read his body language & get the upper hand back.
