Nail Trim Recap: Part 1!
We ahve been going live to show you our real life training sessions, working with our birds. Our goal is to have all our birds voluntarily hold their foot out for a nail trim! How do we get to that seemingly impossible spot? From the beginning, in very small steps, and with a plan.
Here's day 1 and day 5 with Quentin, Skeeter and Marengo. Can you see the progress already? Each bird has about two minutes of training a day, over the past 5 days, that makes about 10 mins total. They learn quickly!

Time to plan!
We will be hopefully going LIVE TOMORROW if all goes well. So we should figure out how we are going to do this? We made a plan!
By breaking down the goal of "voluntary nail trim" into small steps, we make it more manageable. We teach each step in a way it's fun and easy! And before you know it, it's done!

Happy New Years!
And that's a wrap on 2024!
It's been a year full of wonderful birds, great experiences, and new friends. I love our parrot community! Whether it's the international IAABC conference, local Parrotpalooza in Calgary, Parrot show in Edmonton, or any of the live events we spoke at, we enjoyed meeting you and helping your parrots!
There have been many days of tears, doubt, failure, and second-guessing myself. There are days where things are really hard. And the birds keep me going ❤️ This community keeps me going!
Thank YOU for making Parrot SOS great! I can't wait to share the journey with you in 2025. See you soon!

Happy Hatchday Monster!
Today, Monster turns 25 years old!
I'm so incredibly lucky to have his sweet, loving, fluffy self in my life. He's been with me through thick and thin over the last 25 years. He's definitely getting "old" now, so I'm cherishing our time together even more.
Help me wish Monster a HAPPY HATCH DAY!
(Monster has a medical condition in his neck that causes him to pluck that area. He has veterinary care and daily medication, and is doing well, and otherwise healthy)
