Your bird's emotional needs (and what to do with hormones and emotions in breeding season), 3. Your birds physical needs (such as hygiene, why most cages are the wrong size for the bird and the pros and cons of wing clipping) 4. Your birds mental needs (such as trick training) Anne has 10+ years of research and hands-on experience of living with pet parrots in the home and she is generous in sharing her knowledge, including the problems she encountered with her own two birds and the methods she used to solve them.
