Avian Encounters is made up of a group of people who all share a common bond and that is a fascination with birds and most especially parrots.
We come from a variety of backgrounds, some of us are breeders, some are pet owners, and some are both. We have all been caring for parrots for well in excess of 15 years and some considerably longer but we don't mention that. Between us we have aquired an extensive wealth of knowledge. The sort you can only gain from hands on practical experience. It is our wish to share with you as much of this knowledge as possible to enable you to enrich the lives of the birds you live with and care for.
               
We aim with the help of our workshops to impart as much information as possible to enable you to enrich the lives of your parrots. To keep your knowledge up to date we will also be holding open days and seminars for our graduates which will enable you not only to further your knowledge but also share with others your experiences both good and bad so that we and others may learn from you. These will also be attended by guest speakers. Who will speak on a wide variety of topics such as illness and disease, keeping and breeding endangered species, training parrots for film and TV work, how to redirect unwanted behaviour. and understanding body language.
We are learning all the time and each set of graduates teaches us something more to share with and impart to the next.
