Bird Whisperer Josh Cook

Josh Cook is an avian trainer who specializes in working with wild and domestic birds. Cook describes himself more as a facilitator for birds, believing that it's often the human owners who need the most training.

Birds as Fascination and Profession

Birds have been a passion for Josh Cook for as long as he can remember. Fortunately, he was able to turn his childhood interest into a fulfilling career. Cook's unique approach involves educating bird owners on how to properly care for their feathered companions.

The Cook Method

At the heart of Cook's philosophy lies the surprisingly bold statement: "Unlock the cage!" Cook believes that the only way to truly train a bird is to give it complete freedom. Some may call this madness, but Cook is ready to demonstrate the effectiveness of his method to anyone who doubts it.

Intelligent Creatures Undervalued

Josh Cook argues that most pet birds, particularly parrots, possess far more intelligence than their owners give them credit for. It is only through improper training, excessive discipline, and a severe underestimation of their potential that these feathered creatures fail to reach their full potential. By encouraging bird owners to think outside the box and stop confining their pets, Cook transforms them from mindless flyers into intelligent and devoted companions.

Scientific Principles

Josh Cook's theories are rooted in science-based principles. He emphasizes birds' ability to navigate and establish unique, albeit unconventional, hierarchies. The validity of his ideas is best demonstrated by practice. Cook has personally trained and prepared numerous birds, whose abilities have astonished even the most skeptical observers.

Mango the Star Pupil

The most famous of Josh Cook's charges is a blue-and-gold macaw named Mango. Cook regularly brings her to events and conferences, showcasing her exceptional intelligence. Through extensive training, Mango has learned to view Cook as family, allowing him to release her into the wild without fear. She will always willingly return home.

Focus on Parrots

While Josh Cook primarily works with parrots, he has also successfully established a friendly flock of macaws and a colony of 15 elegant crimson-fronted parakeets. He remains equally interested in pet parrots, although his focus is always on educating their owners.
