First, thank you for the invitation Robert to be a continuing part of your ongoing efforts to bring a broad range of information to the companion bird world.

As many of you will know I already have a bird training blog over at Avian Ambassadors, where you will find many articles I have written over the last 5 or so years. In addition I have an ongoing series of articles all linked together in a glossary of the terms of the science of behavior change.

It is unfortunate that there are those in this world who take articles such as those I have written and use them for their own personal financial gain without even any attribution, because of this the articles on my blog are protected against copying and even comment. Everyday I get a flood of comment attempts for everything from Viagra to designer shoes, this just confirms that my decision to lock down the content is the right one, it keeps the site clean and on task. However, it is my wish that the maximum number of people should have access to the articles, so please feel free to link to the articles, or if you wish to reproduce them just send me an email, just place "@" between sidprice and avianambassadors.com :o).

I will do my best to be a contributor to this blog as well, although it may be intermittent in nature. I will post here whenever my Bird Training blog has updates. Of course the ubiquitous Facebook and Twitter get alerts too.

In the spirit of this blog here is a thought for you to consider, just because a training strategy works does not make it the right, ethical strategy to use.

Keep soaring,
Sid.
