Bird Training

Bird
Training

We provide specialised bird training services for exotic birds and birds of prey in and around Essex, built on the understanding that birds are complex creatures who need much more than just life in a cage. From cockatiels, lovebirds, lorikeets, parrots, and macaws to owls, hawks, kookaburras, cranes, and more, we strive to meet the distinct needs of each species and individual bird.

Exotic Birds

Many exotics, such as macaws, are highly intelligent and thrive on daily mental stimulation and enrichment. These birds need to be challenged and engaged, which becomes far easier when they are comfortable being handled. Positive reinforcement and desensitisation techniques underpin our approach to help your bird learn new skills without stress, so enrichment and training become enjoyable routines for both keeper and bird.

Birds Of Prey

Birds of prey are supreme athletes that require regular, structured physical exercise to maintain optimal health and mental wellbeing. Handling and flight training are essential for their fitness: muscle development, endurance, and confidence all hinge on a regimen that mimics natural behaviours and rewards effort with food, just as in the wild. Daily weighing, step-up and recall, and flying sessions are crucial to monitor health and appetite, adapt routines, and ensure the bird is strong and motivated.
