The parrot behaviourist course is designed to help these very demanding animals, such as parrots. Often they do not have their basic needs secured, they develop diseases that many caregivers do not know about, and their treatment is possible only by a veterinarian who specializes in treating these animals. The behaviour of birds, and above all parrots, are very complex and difficult to analyze and even more so to solve their behavioural problems. Therefore, this course is aimed primarily at behaviourists, veterinarians, parrot caretakers and lovers of these animals who want to deepen their knowledge about the behaviour of the species and methods of therapeutic work on their behavioural disorders.
