I don't know anything about his techniques either, but the word whisperer seems to be a code name for domination and flooding. Ken Globus did a lot of flooding. It's NOT a good way to treat a bird or any other creature.

Its unfortunate that 'whisperer' has connotations with such methods, as 'whispering' was originally a horse term, used long ago. The 'true' horse whisperer I trained under for a months time one summer, and if he saw such methods being employed on any animal, he would be appalled. The term whispering actually came about from when old time true natural technique trainers were seen whispering into the ears of their animals, offering words of comfort to soothe the often fear crazed animals.. soon because the horses were not 'broken' but rather 'trained' they would calm and people would accuse the training of using methods of drugging to calm the animal..
Sorry just always gets on my nerves to hear the term whisperer mistreated, as I've seen so much good come from the whisperer and his horse.
