There is a new training program out there that is really interesting. The concept is you pay x amount of money per year, and every Sunday night you can clue in and listen to live, exclusive training sessions with some of the best people in the bird business. Barbara Heidenrich, Liz Wilson, etc etc etc. Well, my friend Lisa Bono got invited to speak with another speaker and do a session on african greys- she has had birds for 33 years and really knows her stuff. So I was talking to her the other day and said 'gee I wish they had a caique speaker' and she told me to email the creator of the site and tell them I'd be willing to do it.

EEK. I did, I did, I did. I am just waiting for an email back- she is throwing in her recommendation for me as well. I just wanted to give you all a heads up, because I told the people about CC & CCF and what a great community we have, so I am sure they are coming here scoping us out lol. I'd love to get the position, simply because it'd be talking about birds from a caique owners point of view rather then a breeder, which is what the original intention. So, everyone cross your fingers. And if you have time go to http://www.thebirdtalks.com and email the site admins and tell them you want a caique speaker! Even if its not myself, the caique community needs to stick up for the education of people about our favorite species :)

Oh Emily this is really great! I will for sure keep my fingers crossed for you. You would be a good speaker you are very well informed and knowledgable. This would be something really good for you and might open other doors for you in the future. You go girl!!! When you become famous I can say I knew you when!!!

Good standing up for our babies!! It would be good to have more information about them out there . When people ask about my bird and I say Caique they have no idea what I am talking about.

yeah, no one outside the avian community that I've talked to has a clue what a caique is either..but I can't really say much..I had never heard of them before I met/got Kiwi either..and it even took me a week to learn how to pronounce it! lol :|

Nothing yet :( I don't think they've gotten enough interest to generate a webcast for it yet.
