Living and Learning with Parrots

[kevinp]

hi everyone, just wondered if anybody here has done the LLP course by Susan G. Friedman. ive just signed up for it, its a long wait though of over a year. if you have done the course what did you think of it?. did it help you and your parrots?

I did it 2 years ago (I think). It was totally worth it - I learned a lot and I think if nothing else it makes you look at things differently than you may have before.
Make sure you have time to do the work - I remember that there was a lot of homework.

Thanks for the reply, yes i guessed there would be a lot of work going by what i had read, just such a long waiting list

Is this an online course?

I signed up, finally got my turn and then dropped out by the fourth lesson because I was over whelmed with the rescue and all and could not keep up. But in four lessons I learned a lot and wished I had time to finish the course. It is well worth the wait!!

If you are interested at all, definitely get on the list. It's about a year waiting list. She is really an incredible teacher and works so hard to do these classes out of the goodness of her heart.

Looks cool. How do I get on the list?
