All of the definitions used in this series are taken from “Learning and Behavior” by Paul Chance.

		<description><![CDATA[Just recently I closed a blog post with the following statement: “Finally, choosing the right bird for the job or even the right job for the bird is probably the most important training decision we make.” This statement triggered quite an active discussion on one Yahoo group and it was interesting to read the thread.

		<description><![CDATA[In an article “Primary Reinforcement and History Revisited” posted in April of this year I made the point that knowing the history of a bird was important. “… the whole history of the bird is part of the antecedent package.” “… the behavior we see today was shaped by the experiences of the bird in [...]]]></description>

He said they decided to try increasing his weight instead of decreasing it, but gave no reason why. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just recently there seems to have been a flood of experts available online to solve all kinds of parrot behavioral issues, it is also worthy of note that many of these experts seem to have tendrils back to a single source.

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that my (enable sarcasm) favorite internet bird trainers (sarcasm off … for now) have discovered two new and powerful techniques that we professionals have been hiding because we purposely use words they can’t understand, or more accurately that they claim the average parrot owner doesn’t understand. While this new “secret” is flawed on [...]]]></description>
