Join the Amys and their exotic guest, Certified Parrot Behavior Consultant, founder of Parrot SOS, and ultimate wingwoman, Robin Horemans, as they swoop into the fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) world of parrot behavior. Parrots possess an extremely high degree of cognitive and emotional intelligence, which can get them into trouble.
