Pamela Clark is a Parrot Behavior
Consultant, certified by the International Association of Animal
Behavior Consultants (IAABC). She offers consulting services both
in the home and by telephone to owners of companion parrots. While
her hands-on experience extends to a wide range of species, her
particular areas of interest include African Greys and behavior
unique to that species, feather destructive behavior and phobic
(extremely fearful) behavior. Pam is especially knowledgeable
about African Greys, having bred and reared them for several
years. This experience allowed her to glean unique insights into
their development as social creatures and the manner in which this
impacts their behavior later in life. |
| Pam's focus when dealing
with behavior problems is on using fundamental principles of
behavior, rather than generalized, anecdotal guidelines, and
always on using the most positive, least intrusive methods. Pam
has a firm foundation of knowledge in the principles of Applied
Behavior Analysis and positive reinforcement training.
She has also trained parrots in behaviors as complex as
that of free flight outdoors. Pam lives in Salem, Oregon with 11
companion parrots. In
addition to her behavior consulting, she works as a veterinary
technician for an avian specialist. She is a well-known speaker
and her articles have appeared in the Companion Parrot Quarterly,
Bird Talk Magazine, Birds USA, Good Bird Magazine, Parrots
Magazine and the Holistic Bird Newsletter. |
