bird trainer
Teaches feathered creatures
A bird trainer is a person who teaches birds to perform behaviors on command—whether for falconry, entertainment, film work, or educational programs.
The work requires patience and specialized knowledge of avian behavior.
Bird trainers typically use positive reinforcement techniques, rewarding desired actions with food: The bird trainer got the parrot to wave on cue.
