Greetings Folks:
I have had a number of people ask me, what technique(s) I use in working with distressed
companion (Exotic) birds.
Well, I can tell you that, I do not force the issue, nor do I sit and ponder the situation, hoping I will
find the way.
What I do depends on the individual (Bird). Think of it this way, everyone you know, and
everyone they know, is different, and
unique. Why? Because we are life forms and have self awareness. This also applies to birds as
well. Now that you have grasped a
bit of the concept, we go to the next step.
Depending on how the bird reacts and to be able to interpret that reaction fairly, requires
experience. Enough experience allows one to take the next step in the process of
communicating.
I have over 50 years of experience
working with a varied amount of what many of us refer to as Animals.
I have found that birds are beyond awesome. I am currently doing
research with some of my own African Grays for instance to establish the fact that yes, they are
also telepathic.
I feel this is an occurrence
in all birds. (perhaps the unspoken language of life that goes on around us non-stop.)
Okay, so what is it I am attempting to say, you may ask?
I communicate straight from the heart. I am 100% successful so far in all of the birds I have
worked with, no matter the horrors of abuse, mentally
or physically by people. (hitting birds, throwing things at birds, being just plain cruel.)(I am not
speaking of medical problems).
I feel their spirit because I believe they have found my
spirit and wanting to communicate worthy enough to allow me to simply say hello.
This is where it begins to expand.
I will give you an instance, that occurred on Jan12th 2009 at a place that sells Exotic Birds. They
also sell African Grays that are paired. Male
and Female. What happened to me that day was so deliciously overwhelming that I have to say,
other than the day my son was born, had to be the
most incredible day of my life. Please let me explain. I am evoking this to you because if there
ever comes a time in which I can help
you with your bird(s) "I would want to know that the person I put my faith and heart-felt trust in,
was the best I could do for my loving, scared
or fearful bird(s)."
There is a row of very large breeder cages outside, with a small sidewalk that runs right down in
front of them. This place is out in the country
and is very beautiful. The birds have a wonderful view to look out on to. They are treated very
well. Since these are potential breeder birds,
they have always pretty much stayed toward the back of the cages near the breeder boxes that
are connected to each cage. got the picture
yet? hope so.
So, I was feeling good about coming out and visiting with the other birds there, as I do on
occasion and commune with them.
I walked around the corner and began down the sidewalk. All of sudden the first two pairs of
African Grays came right down off
their perches, that rest more towards the back of the cages, and put their heads down and up
against the bars, so I could rub them
and touch them. These birds have had no human contact like that in 5-6 years as far as I have
been told. I was blown away at the
little warming sounds that came out of their mouths, almost like baby birds would make, just
adorable. Well, by that time I had tears
in my eyes and my heart was asking myself why? Do they know what I am trying to accomplish
for birds?
I rose up slowly and continued
down the sidewalk, and stopped and the tears just flowed. Every single pair of African Grays, as
well as a 35 year old yellow nape Amazon, and a
Cockatoo were at the front of their cages all down with there heads pressed up against the bars,
and began to make some very interesting
sounds. I got down on my knees in front of each cage and stroked and touched them. I would
close my eyes and feel my heart sing as I
did this. After awhile, legs trembling, I stood up after being at the last cage in the row, I stepped
back so I could see them all.
whistles and silliness was abundant. :-)
It finally came to me. They know! They really know! and they support what I am going to
accomplish was confirmed to me that day!
Nothing will ever be able to change that for me. Read my "Mission Statement again please.
So when it comes to how do I work with birds, it is really about how the bird feels about you in the
final process. In many instances
it has not been the bird I have had to treat for knowing fear. It has been the person who owns the
bird. People have a tendency to
think that if their is a problem with a bird, it is a direct result of the birds misfortune in being able
to cope. NOT so. Living things
all have the right to be treated with dignity and self respect.
oh, and teaching your bird tricks? NO!
why?
it is quite simple, the real trick here is to witness what your bird comes up with by how you
interact with them. example, we play with our birds a lot on the bed. they chase balls, climb
ladders over the pillows, sing some good reggae music sometimes..:-)
But they have all done this watching each-other as well.
I have seen folks out there that advertise as bird whisperer's to lure you to their sites
to get you to use different systems to make your birds do this and that. and then attempt
to convince you that their bird food is the best. I have more than just doubt about such
activites.
There is the beginning where the dimishment of the spirit begins in a bird. I have plenty of
experience in what I am telling you.
The real trick to witness is the one day ,when you suddenly are standing there and you feel
your spirit and the spirit of your bird become one. The only way to accomplish this totally
is to allow your bird the chance to give you the gift of play. That to me is the difference between
living and existing.
Pehaps some of what I have written here, may already have you on your way to being closer to
your bird(s). If so, then that works for me. All I ask is that you pass a long what may have
helped you in this simple blog to others that have birds or know people that do. I am not
concerned about being given credit for this, just pass it a long as if it were your own heart and
idea in play. We can all make this work, I really believe it.
In closing, be assured that what I do is honorable and real. The birds know it, the people I have
worked with know it.
I am here to help, not to take.
warmly and with respect to the world.
