Training Webinar
May 27th 20245 4pm – 5:15pm (approx)
I know vet visits can be very stressful. Sometimes my girls are out of sorts for a few days after their checkups. Even prepping for a trip can be a challenge, too, when we’ve got to get our birds into their carriers.
We may not be able to make those important visits totally stress-free, but reducing the ways our birds are stressed – like helping them LOVE their carriers! – can go a long way to a MUCH easier experience!
Justice Bellar, CPBT is our Parrot Kindergarten behavior trainer (aka school counselor)! In this workshop, she will show you just how teach your bird how to go into their carriers and crates – super easy!
PLUS! Field researcher Grace Innemee will share her perspective on this from the viewpoint of the wild birds, too!
Birdie happiness increase: 100%!
Parent happiness increase: also 100%!

Justice Bellar, CPBT-KA, shares a life-long love for animals. Her passion for tough little ones lead her to work with shelter rescues in 2015. In 2017 she joined the team at The Gabriel Foundation, one of the world’s largest parrot sanctuary and adoption organization. In time, Justice became the Behavior and Training Coordinator, managing a parrot behavior training case load both internally, overseeing as-needed training for the sanctuary parrots on the premises, as well as post-adoption support families. She also developed and taught workshops in parrot behavior. Justice holds her avian training certification through the International Avian Certification Board (IATCB). Justice also graduated from Dr. Susan Friedman’s Professional Learning and Living with Animals course. Justice shares her home with three adopted parrots- Jimmy the yellow naped amazon, Snickers the umbrella cockatoo, and Tikka the blue and gold macaw. She spends her downtime gardening, hanging out with her trio of parrots, and playing cello – sometimes with accompaniment from her band, and sometimes with accompaniment from her birds!
