Living and Learning with Parrots:
The Fundamental Principles of Behavior

a seminar conducted by Dr. Suzanne Loftus, Psy.D.

242 E. 53 St, New York, NY
next to Quest Book Shop
(between 2nd & 3rd Avenues)

This workshop is an abbreviated version of Dr. Susan Friedman's landmark LLP class designed to teach participants how parrots learn. This session will be taught by Suzanne Loftus, Psy.D., who has worked closely with Dr. Friedman for several years, disseminating best practices to improve the lives of companion parrots.

The workshop will provide a general introduction to applied behavior analysis, which is the science-based training technology you can use to teach your parrot successful companion behaviors and prevent and reduce behavior problems. Participants will learn to analyze the ways in which your interactions and environmental arrangements lead to and maintain existing problem behaviors and how to use the least intrusive, most positive solutions to prevent and solve them.

Suzanne Loftus, Psy.D., is a licensed psychologist with 25 years of clinical experience. She has lived with and learned from parrots for 10 years. In 2001 she took Dr. Susan Friedman's Living and Learning with Parrots to learn more about using Applied Behavior Analysis with her own flock and became a Teaching Assistant for the class this year. Dr. Loftus is also an active member of the Parrot Behavior Analysis Solutions internet list, assisting with list management and guiding caregiver's to solve parrot behavior problems with cutting edge, science-based methods.
