Parakeet Workshop in NYC October 14, 2006

Saturday, October 14th
Parakeet Workshop

Moderators: Pipsqueak! and Cheri McAleese,
Author of just released book entitled:
"My Name is Pipsqueak! What's Your Name?"

TIME: 1 - 4 pm

LOCATION: 242 E. 53 Street,
New York, NY
(between 2nd and 3rd Avenues)

If you are considering adopting a parakeet or already share your life with one or more of these delightful little parrots, you will gain a better understanding of parakeet behavior and learn about their proper care. Parakeets originate in Australia, a hot and dry region, where wild flocks still reside. We will be discussing how their wild instincts affect their behavior in our home.

Some of the issues we will be covering are:
Housing.
Diet.
Basic Care.
Toys - inanimate objects, mirrors and their attraction/obsession to them.
Parakeet Behaviors; i.e., nippiness, biting, etc.
Speech

Copies of Pipsqueak!'s book will be available for purchase, and personal autographs will be signed for all books purchased.

We look forward to seeing you all there! It will be fun and informative!

COST: Free for Members
Guest Fee: $10
