4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Basic Training DVD, November 15, 2006

This DVD is an excellent beginning to a promising series on bird training for the companion parrot owner. The DVD introduces basic training with positive reinforcement and shows examples. Techniques are sound and based on the latest in professional bird training. Similar to clicker training, but without the clicker (though you can certainly use one if you so desire). You will want to learn more. Looking forward to more in the series.

I was looking for something more advanced in the way of parrot training.

I do recommend this book for the new parrot owners. It will help them get over some of the rough spots when dealing with those little monsters wrapped in feathers.

As always, Barbara did an excellent job.
