About this Event

Being able to interact and transport your parrot is a vital part of their everyday care. For some birds, this is easier to learn than others. With a lot of conflicting information online about how to train this behavior from start to finish, it can be confusing and disheartening when it still does not work.

Through working with thousands of parrots, often there are a lot of small, but powerful, steps missed in commonly shared "step-up" training found online. Experienced professional trainer and behavioralist Melanie Canatella, B.S., CPBT-KA, CPDT-KA, Fear Free Certified Trainer, with Fluff and Feathers Training has taught countless of parrots to step-up reliably and safely throughout her career, and she is wanting to share her secrets with parrot caretakers to help in their continued efforts of training this behavior.

With the purchase of your ticket, you will receive valuable training aids you will be shown how to use during the class, like a target stick! A target stick is used to create a common language between your bird and yourself.
