June 17	Avian Certifications and Expertise Join The Parrot Club on Tuesday, June 17 at 7 pm ET for a roundtable discussion with bird behavior consultant/trainer Sheila Blanchette about avian certifications and expertise. We will discuss what certifications exist for avian medicine, avian behavior, avian training, etc. and what they really mean. We will talk about what makes someone an avian expert and what qualifications do or do not matter. We will discuss what sources of information are reputable and how we can trust that we’re getting good information. With so many people out there claiming to have the answers to all our bird questions and problems, who should we trust? Is there right and wrong or just differences of opinions and techniques? This program will be an informed discussion, not a lecture, as we learn more about this important subject of choosing the best people and information to better the lives of our companion birds and ourselves. Sheila S. Blanchette, UW-AAB, IAAB-CPBC, is a professional certified companion bird behavior trainer. Sheila owns and operates Heart of Feathers Education & Behavior Training, LLC since 2015. Heart of Feathers Education & Behavior Training offers In-Home (Local Region) and Online behavior and training assistance for companion birds. Sheila has worked with several of the animal/bird rescues in the New England area in assisting with bird behavior. She has written several articles for the Pet Professional Guild Bark Magazine. In July 2024, Sheila accepted the position of Director of Education for Rhode Island Parrot Rescue (Warwick, RI) assisting part-time to grow their public companion bird education programs.
