Bird Guides are People TOO
Then another reader asked if I ever highlight the PEOPLE who ARE Bird Guides?
THAT I did think about but did not get my focus into place to accomplish the task.I am planning to have a section of this site devoted to exactly that…
Who are the people who are Bird Guides who lead tours, etc.
So here is how you can help me with that goal.
If YOU are a Bird Guide, please send me an email or make a comment here and tell me where you lead your groups.
If you have had a terrific experience with a particular bird guide I would LOVE to hear about it.
I want to include one bird expert from each geographic region of the USA. I am willing to consider other areas for special trips too.

Parrot Guide -Train Your Parrot
Now there is a surprise.
One of my regular readers asked why I don’t share articles about bird guides the way other writers share about guides to train their dogs?
My response was simple. — I never thought of it.
Most of my bird experiences have been in the wild outdoors and most of my birding guide experiences have been with identification and behavior of birds in their natural habitat.
So, after giving it some thought, I decided to add this dimension to this site.
Guides for CARE and TRAINING of Birds.
My goal here is to share expert perspectives from other authors, amateur adventures in bird care and guidance to help you find useful online resources that can answer more of your questions.
MY First CARE and GUIDE Post is right here:
A PARROT GUIDE – Guide to Care and Training Your Parrot
The first thing that comes to mind is to realize that your pet parrot may live longer than you do. I know someone who inherited several birds from his uncle, including 2 African Gray Parrots and one Cockatiel. As far as I know they are still all living harmoniously in a New York City apartment. So, pay attention to the life span of these feathered friends.
Caring for your pet parrot includes 3 things you must know how to do :
- Proper feeding
- Proper Cage size and placement
- Healthy Cage Management
Project FeederWatch – Make Your Birdwatching Count
Technorati Profile
Those who enjoy birdwatching can now turn their hobby into research for North American birds. Each year the Cornell Lab of Ornithology organizes a count of feeder birds across the country. The effort is called Project FeederWatch and those who participate simply count the number of birds present at a given place and given time.
The great public bird count is scheduled for November through April each year. Those wanting to take part in a given year must enroll by the end of February, and registration is continuously open. The task involves making a tally of the total birds seen at a specific point in time. This method prevents duplicate counting and avoids constant monitoring of the count area. Read more
