5.0 out of 5 stars Subtle Moves, December 28, 2008

This review is from: Understanding Parrot Body Language DVD, vol 3 - Barbara Heidenreich (DVD)

Understanding that all responsible animal owners could feel vulnerable when it comes to finding help, especially through a DVD, rest assured when you buy anything by Barbara Heidenreich. There is no fancy editing (suggesting a false TAH DAH!!!! moment) or promises of things you can't do on your own.

To be honest: I am a mammal person. I am much more verse in watching tails or ears to understand the animal's "language". I know that working with animals it is ALL about timing, not ever taking out anger on my animals, and I know having a parrot can be challenging.

However now that I have watched Barbara's DVD on Parrot Body Language (and even before watching it for a second time) I am so much more aware of subtle moves that our new Yellow-Naped Amazon Parrot has been offering.

Not only is he not biting because I am not threatening him but also our bird is MUCH happier with my not harassing him (through mis-understanding his "hints").

As soon as Ms. Heidenreich makes the next DVD I will be at the front of the cue to buy and watch it......making both our parrot's and our lives much richer and better together.

Thanks to Barbara Heidenreich and her continued work dedicated to birds!!!

I was disappointed with the packaging, the DVD case was broken when it reached me in Australia. Heidenreich clearly knows her subject, however I would have liked to have seen better editing and heard better audio on the DVD. It was sometimes difficult to follow. Perhaps a couple of repeat examples would be beneficial.
