Mardi Gras Avicultural Conference (Part II)

The afternoon session of the conference opened with Dr. Susan Clubb of Loxahatchie, FL. Susan is the veterinarian for Parrot Jungle in Miami and their breeding operation, Last Chance Farm, in Loxahatchie. She is internationally respected and is an advisor to Loro Parque in the Canary Islands. Her topic was Feather Destructive Disorders.

The final presenter was Diane Grindol who, with Tom Roudybush, has just recently published a book called "Teaching Your Bird to Talk". She lectured on the various species and their talking ability and gave a live demonstration of parrot training.

If you have an opportunity to attend next years conference you should make plans to be there. We profited from our experience, you will too.
