About me


Me with Guiness the owl
 

I’ve been a bird owner since 1981, ranging from bird breeder to bird rescue.

Many bird owners turn to the internet to learn how to care for their birds and they find information not backed by research or bird experts. Even vets will make claims and provide no evidence to back them up.

I’m here to dispel the myths and inject some science into our discussions about birds.
