Lara has had a lifelong interest in communications and animal welfare which lead her to study biology in college and graduating with a degree in film with the intentions of aiding in the production of wildlife documentaries. Her passion has always been in the natural behaviors and observations of what reinforces behaviors in the animal’s native habitat. Through time and experience her focus has evolved to birds and in particular the reinforcers behind behaviors of our companion parrots. She has a focus for observing and working with animals that exhibit signs of aggression and abnormal repetitive behaviors, which she thinks is in abundance in the companion parrot society. Lara truly enjoys working with all birds, focusing on behavior and training of parrots and bird’s of prey. She dedicates her time and studies to bird behavior and behavior modification techniques using positive reinforcement interaction and her continuing education in applied behavior analysis.
