In her experience both as veterinary technician as well as behaviour consultant, Pamela Clark frequently encounters caregivers that do not recognize regular bathing as a need to have for their parrots. In this podcast, Pam helps us to understand just what an important role regular bathing plays in the physical as well as mental well-being of our feathered companions.

Pamela Clark, CVT
Pamela Clark is a well-known author, speaker and parrot behaviour consultant whose experience with parrots dates back 40 years to the purchase of her first pair of lovebirds. Her knowledge extends to a wide range of parrot species, and has been gained through experiences as diverse as breeding to rescue and rehabilitation.

Areas of particular interest to her are those of feather destructive behaviour, psittacine nutrition, the provision of indoor flight, and the human/parrot bond.
