Review Vol II: ‘…valuable information to everyone interested in pet birds and aviculture.’

BirdDoctor — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:48:44 +0000

I would like to compliment the authors and editors of Volume II of the Expert Companion Bird Care Series. While the keeping of pet birds and the breeding of a wide variety of birds has been documented to occur over many centuries, there is presently a lack of information about aviculture. Basic information concerning the...

Review Vol II:’…anyone considering a pet bird needs to watch this video series.’

BirdDoctor — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:55:03 +0000

I think anyone considering a pet bird needs to watch this video series. I work with a parrot rescue and know too many people that jump into bird keeping without the proper knowledge. I only wish I could have had all this information in one place before I brought home my first feathered friend. One...

Review Vol II: ‘…well-written, well scripted video packed with good solid information.’

BirdDoctor — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 17:42:53 +0000

I’ve gotten to know a few people in the field of aviculture over the years. Dr. Scott Echols is one of them. He’s an avian veterinarian and his bio reads like he’s been practicing since he was about eight years old because he looks about eighteen. He lives in Austin, Texas with his wife Layle,...

Captive Foraging ‘…this video should be part of all new bird owners libraries as well as a must “prescription” for feather pickers…’

africangrey — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 05:38:08 +0000

I purchased the Captive Foraging video at AAV and have watched it. I think it is excellently put together and both brief enough as to not overwhelm clients but also deep enough to provide useful tasks. Dr. Echols presents a few topics and then will summarize with written and verbal bullets. Everything is demonstrated with...

Captive Foraging ‘…I’m very excited at the potential of this video…’

africangrey — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 05:37:08 +0000

Easy to understand speech and language. Concepts presented in a logical sequence and easy to understand format. Good filming and foraging ideas for all levels of bird…very comprehensive. I liked the use of wild animals as examples. I think it makes it easier for people, especially skeptics and beginners, to believe the importance of foraging....
