The IAATE Professional Development Committee (PDC) will provide a strong foundation for avian professionals to gain information and improve management and training of their birds to better present inspirational education programs. By sharing the most current information and practices in our community we will create the highest levels of care, training, show production and presentation, which will improve avian welfare and well-being.
PDC provides many benefits for members. Do you need someone to guide you through a new training challenge? Designing a new routine for a show? Setting up ideal perching options for a special needs bird? Or just someone to bounce ideas off of and brainstorm? PDC mentors are here to offer expertise in many areas of our community. Tap into this free resource today and help improve animal welfare by learning directly from some of the top trainers in our field.
