Online Consultation Session
Online (Virtual) Consultation
Online Behavior Consultation is an excellent option if you are not in the local area, want to avoid travel costs, or demonstrate specific behavior (without a new person in the room).
Online Consultations are recommended for users who have a computer with a camera, a tablet, or a smartphone. Users should be able to resolve their own video and audio issues on their own equipment.
The Online Consultation Session uses an application called 'Zoom' (Webcam and microphone required on laptop or tablet).

She has a high success rate with feather plucking and self-mutilation cases.
Guarantees
Heart of Feathers Education & Behavior Training would like all our clients to succeed. The trainer will make every reasonable effort to assist in working with the client and companion bird. It is important to understand that 'undesired' behavior cannot be resolved instantly or quickly, but at the pace of the companion bird. We cannot promise the exact date, or a time frame. Without practicing, or understanding / following the training plan, the progress can be slow or inconsistent.
It is important to do consistent training by all members in the home.
