I was encouraged by several avian vets at a recent conference to share more of my work in natural, outdoor settings. While I often post the final results: the beautiful flights and big moments, there's a lot that happens behind the scenes. To truly assess a bird’s fitness and apply cognitive training, I sometimes need to take them into rugged, less glamorous environments. These natural settings challenge the birds in ways that aren't possible indoors or in artificial spaces. It’s out in the wind

Our avian ambassadors are here to prove that "bird-brained" is a misnomer! Avian intelligence is often underestimated, perpetuated by terms like "bird-brained," but the reality is far more complex. Bird intelligence varies not only between species but also between individuals. To keep their minds sharp and healthy, all our animals (ambassadors and patients) receive regular enrichment. Enrichment comes in many forms, as you'll see in our video. For example, puzzle feeders, new prey types, and car

We’re taking flight. 🕊️ After years of dreaming, the Avian Center for Enrichment is ready to soar. Born from a deep love for birds and decades of training experience, our nonprofit is dedicated to strengthening the bond between birds and their humans. We’ve seen the joy these relationships bring, and the heartbreak when they falter. Too often, birds are surrendered or outlive their caregivers, not because of a lack of love, but a lack of support. That’s where we come in. Through our “Happy Bird

Some of the birds got some donated salmon as enrichment today. Forrest the white necked raven had the most curious response to it. He ate all of his usual items first and then tried to cache the salmon chunks. However, ravens do not like to cache in front of an audience usually, so he kept fussing over the prized booty until we turned our backs and paid attention to his neighbor, Linus. I am not sure that they have ever eaten salmon before but they didn’t hate it. Ravens have excelled by exploit
