Positive Parrot Training Retreat 2014 HAS BEEN CANCELLED!
The Positive Parrot Training Retreat is open to ten attendees: eight students and their parrots, and two students without their parrots. Attendees with parrots may bring more than one, if there is sufficient room available (contact Chris for space availability before registering). All attendees, however, are not required to bring parrots as there are resident cockatoos available for training.
As all training will take place in the bird barn, we encourage attendees who do bring their birds to house them at Cockatoo Downs each night. We have found that when guest birds stay overnight in the barn (rather than taken back to your hotel room) they settle in very quickly. The guest birds stay in suitable cages in the barn. The guest parrots are cared for each morning and evening by our staff who feed, water, clean the cages, and make sure each parrot is comfortable and secure.
The schedule of the Retreat is as follows:
Fees: Early Bird by June 15, 2014, $1095
After June 15, $1195
