Unlike most other species, birds get their cues for when to be hormonal from their environment. What this means is that many times we can decrease hormonal behavior and moodiness in our pet birds through environmental changes. Find out how to turn off your "turned on" bird or how to prevent this behavior in the future.

Come join us for lots of laughter and a very educational afternoon.
