Featuring five performing Parrots, this DVD presents a lively and entertaining display of bird tricks, many of which are original and performed on video for the first time. Adding to the entertainment are the distinct personalities of each Parrot.

Poopsie, a Green-Cheeked Conure is the oldest of the five and does the most complicated of the tricks. Squawk, a Blue-Crowned Conure, actually holds a conversation with Tani and does some incredible tricks. Kiri is a Congo African Grey, and the youngest of the group. Prince is a Crimson-Winged Parakeet. And Cassie, the clown of the group, is a Black-Headed Caique. Her performance is truly unique.

The first DVD covers the basic fundamentals of training with positive reinforcement. You are given detailed instructions on how to shape behavior with examples.

The "stars" of the DVDs are companion Parrots learning behaviours for the first time. Be the first to experience these special moments of learning captured on film.

What`s it like when you take your Parrot to the avian veterinarian or need him to co-operate for grooming? Does your bird eagerly hop into a carrier, present his toes for a trim and sit patiently for a physical exam? No? Well he can! All it takes is a little training with positive reinforcement.

Positive reinforcement is a kind and gentle method used to teach your Parrot to co-operate in his own medical care. With a little positive reinforcement training, a visit to the vet can be a pleasant experience for you, your vet and most importantly your bird!

Reading your bird`s body language is one of the most important skills you can learn to help you build a relationship with your Parrot based on trust. It is how your Parrot communicates. In this DVD professional animal trainer Barbara Heidenreich guides you through the process of watching different parts of your bird`s body - and what each is doing under different circumstances - to give you an idea of just what might be going on in those very special bird brains. 46 Minutes. Filmed in High Definition
