Transformation Series
Get your flock a new lease on life.
My deepest, most comprehensive engagement — for the multi-bird home with complex, layered behavioral challenges that no one else has been able to answer. Together, we uncover what’s really going on and build a customized solution for your whole flock.
- A fully customized plan for your entire flock
- Twelve weeks of direct support, reshaping your flock’s life
- A new way of life for you and your whole flock
No one has been able to make sense of your flock — until now.
- Your flock has multiple, heavily layered behavioral challenges, and everything you’ve tried seems to make it worse, not better.
- You can’t find any straight answers because your flock’s case is so unique no one else seems to understand it.
- Your birds have several different behavioral challenges — none the same, none at the same time — making it impossible to tell what’s going on.
- You’ve tried all the standard behavioral and veterinary suggestions, yet things keep getting worse and you worry about the years ahead.
A Transformation Series gets you real answers and a customized solution for the unique situation only you seem to be in.
From confusing struggles to clear signals.
- Learn exactly what your flock’s behavior means — and why you’re seeing a situation no one else understands.
- Create a stable, supportive environment that prevents problems and sets your whole flock up for success.
- Uncover the connections between the different challenges you’re facing, why they happen, and what to do.
- Go from confusing, messy struggles to clear signals you know exactly how to respond to.
- See a side of your flock you’ve never seen — real, comfortable, interactive relationships.
- Wake up enjoying your flock’s company, without the fear of another behavior challenge derailing your day.
A unique solution for a one-of-a-kind flock.
The Transformation Series is all about creating a custom flock solution for a multi-bird home with complex, multi-layered behavioral challenges that no one else has been able to untangle.
I take a comprehensive, in-depth look into your flock’s physiology, nutrition, behavior, hormones, and routines to uncover exactly what’s driving what you’re seeing — in a way no one has before.
Flocks no one else could untangle.
Chifle & Nori
When their family reached out, everything seemed to be happening at once. Chifle’s hormones were off the charts, stepping up was dangerous — biting hard enough to draw blood — and he’d fly at people at random. Their humans had followed every avian-vet recommendation, even switching to all-fresh food.
Over twelve weeks we found the behaviors were deeply connected. An improperly formulated diet had triggered the extreme hormones; confusion around handling drove the biting and the flighted attacks. We reformulated the diet, brought in new furniture for the living space, and built new daily bonding routines.
Today Chifle and Nori live peacefully with their humans — patient, cooperative, and easy to understand — without fear for the flock’s health or anyone’s fingers.
Kiwi the red-rumped parakeet
Kiwi never fully integrated into her home, and after a family move she began plucking the feathers near her legs and tail. No one could recognize what was happening — but during her FEATHER analysis it was clear: feather-damaging behavior, a complex self-harm pattern driven by a collection of factors.
A near-total lack of reliable information on her species had left her human guessing, feeding Kiwi’s confusion and high hormones. Over twelve weeks we installed a livable daily routine, reconnected her with her whole space, and readjusted her diet to bring her hormones back into range.
Kiwi has blossomed from a scared, confused bird into an integral part of the home — following her humans through life, with her feathers slowly growing back.
Ready to give your flock the life you know they deserve?
The whole picture — not just one piece of it.
As more parrots become companion animals, more people find themselves in a sticky situation. There’s information online by the truckload, but most of it is conflicting, unreliable, and superficial. When a behavioral problem appears, no one really has an in-depth explanation of what’s going on — and the challenges compound.
The result: these long-lived, well-loved animals become harder to understand and live with, even when their humans are ready to change anything. Most never find help beyond the vet’s office — or stumble into internet “quick fixes” that make things worse, or a professional with deep knowledge in only one field.
That’s why I created the Transformation Series — the only program combining every field a comfortable life with a flock requires: nutrition, physiology, behavior, and relationship-building, solving the most complex challenges in the parrot world one flock at a time.
What it is
- A combined scientific approach to resolving complex, multi-layered behavior challenges.
- Clear, step-by-step guidance from a professional with in-depth knowledge of multiple fields, not just one.
- Sustainable, realistic recommendations tailored to your lifestyle and daily rhythm — so you can actually maintain them.
- Education that teaches you why things work, not just what to do, so you can respond confidently for years.
What it’s not
- A generic program — every flock solution is built from scratch for your birds and your home.
- A quick fix — deeply layered challenges take twelve weeks of systematic work, not a weekend.
- Single-field advice that solves one problem while creating another.
Twelve weeks of my deepest work.
