Please Note NONE of the images on this site have been photoshopped or had any other enhancements including the photos above All the shots are taken on miniture sets that I build for the purpose of my trained birds in each photo . I’m kind of old School so I like to be hands on and building these sets of local Sydney City areas was a heap of fun ,  I realise that photo shop would have been easier but for someone creative like me it steals the magic I feel . Anyhow I hope you enjoy

 Did you know ?  Birds produce new neurons when they are stimulated from learning a new song or other…

( Article  ) National Geographic Magazine

In the chirps and twitters of these pocketsized birds Fernando Nottebohm heard the anthem of brain science revolution. The Rockefeller University biologist discovered that adult canaries do something a century of neuroscience dogma declared impossible : they generate new neurons to replace lost brain cells . Replacement peaks during peak memory load –when birds learn new songs, find new food sources, or meet new social partners . Other researchers have extended Nottebohm’s findings,confirming that mammals including humans also make new neurons. “with luck and much effort “, Nottebohm says,”the simple insight I got from studying how birds learn their songs will help us find the means to repair broken brains “.

 Trieste Visier say’s : There is so much to be learnt from animals they don’t just provide us with unconditional love , friendship , and joy they hold the answer to many important questions some of which have not yet even been raised into question.

Many of you have written to me asking if I train only baby budgies ? the answer is no . I have often visited my local pet store or weekend market where I have purchased one of the older overlooked budgies ,I feel they deserve a little bit of paradise here on earth after serving most of their lives in tiny cages I feel a sense of great privilege to become there adoptive parent ,Take Harry for example who’s ( pictured below ) , he was dumped in a cage outside a vet door missing a toe and in very poor health maybe the owner did not know what else to do with him ? ,who know’s the circumstances or reasons he was just abandoned ? , I don’t know how old he is he seems wise but what I do know is he is incredibly funny , Smart , Beautiful , Sensitive and at this point he’s Micks best friend (  pictured below ) ,they are inseparable and they both enjoy learning new tricks together , you never can tell what your pet bird will be like in personality ,but you can  be assured with respect and gentle handling you will make a true friend . The first thing I do during a period of initiation is give them vitamins , greens , and an introduction to my leafy rainforest / bathroom where they fly free during their shower periods .

Next step is spending a few weeks allowing them to acquaint themselves with my apartment so that they avoid any injuries when flying free . Sometimes budgies can become confused if they are unfamiliar with their environment and they can injure themselves by flying into random objects or window panes . And I make a great effort to prevent these events  from occuring

During this process I can also  observe my new feathered friends preference’s in whom she /he chooses as friends in the flock they have very definite preferences in this area as I have discovered time and time again ,once friends are chosen the alliances are not broken and it is at this point I will pair them up together to learn tricks in groups and teams . I once purchased a pair of sisters after observing them for an hour or two for this very reason  . I also felt my heart strings tugging at the thought of them being purchased separately and I am so glad I did as they are as thick as thieves and ever devoted to each other it’s amazing

Hi, Trieste,

We are really glad you liked the book. You were really a sweetheart to have trusted us and we were eager to get to know your impressions on our material. We are sure the students will love to read about you and your birds.

It will be fantastic if we can count on you to have more materials on your work in our next books. We are now working on three new projects: books that teach English from 6th to 9th grades in private schools, and books that teach English to students in intermediate and advanced levels. We will browse your website constantly in search of material that matches the contents of our new books and will get in touch with you, OK?

 Have a wonderful week!
