Heartfelt thanks to
Lori Drew & John Newhouser for all their
work and support of this important event.
These were the first workshops held
under the auspices of a Bird Rescue and
Sanctuary and I was thrilled to be
working with them. I believe that
most of the birds that are in
sanctuaries because of fear/aggression
issues don't need to be there. So,
I was particularly happy to have the
chance to prove just that. These
are the birds that can most
benefit from my techniques; those
that are troubled, neglected, even
abused because of behavior issues.
My next Rescue work will be with The
Bailey Foundation in Wilmington, DE Sep.

We were able to make some
amazin g
breakthroughs and help that birds that
conventional bird wisdom brands as
beyond hope.
Birds that
had been unhandleable for years, were happily being held and passed
around by many of the workshop
participants.

one of the workshop
groups

Ken is teaching Brian, a C.A.R.E. volunteer
some socialization exercises, working
with this
B & G Macaw that was showing aggression to
children.
Here the bird is getting comfortable with this
brave, young girl.

Here's a little
Meyers Parrot that no one had been able
to handle for years. In the follow
up to the workshop Lori reports that she
feels this bird will finally be
adoptable.

Jackie Hugo - V. P. Madison Area
Cagebird Club -
I am a full supporter of your work
Hi Ken, It's Jackie Hugo.
It was
truly amazing when you worked with
Scooter the Umbrella Cockatoo that
Lori and John had worked with at the
rescue for 4 + years and to see them
in tears when you got that bird over
it's fear of hands and coming out of
the cage and then later sitting on
the laps of others -- you have
changed that bird's life as well as
that bird being able to be adopted
out. I think when a person can do
that they are truly amazing. I know
that your seminar will help the
rescue get better results and I
especially liked how you taught them
to protect them selves better.
When I signed up for the seminar I
heard from other people that it's
flooding the birds and that they
thought that wasn't the way to do
it. I say to them they don't know
what they are talking about and they
need to see you in person before
judging you. You make the bird face
its fears head on; can you imagine
living in a fearful existence always
afraid of everything and how that
must be so stressful day in and day
out for them?
For an owner of a bird to bring that
bird to you, and tell you that they
are afraid of it because of a severe
bite or that they bird is so fearful
to come out of the cage and then for
you to work with it for 15 minutes
or less and have that bird sitting
on the lap of the owner and the
owner petting that bird. It’s
amazing. You truly changed the
lives of the owners and the birds.
Scooter and the Meyers Parrot were
the two that amazed me the most last
weekend. When you work
with that wild caught, retired,
un-handled breeder, and you taught
it to step up within 4 minutes and
having it lying in the palm of your
hand within 5 more -- that deserved
a medal!!
I am a full supporter of your work
and anyone who doesn't agree with
your methods must not have seen you
in action!! I got home Sunday
night and tried your methods with my
Blue Crowned conure and I think we
are on the way to a great
relationship again. Next bird to
work with is my untamed African
Grey; I know that with the skills
you showed us that I will be able to
make great progress with her. No
bird should live in fear of the
unknown.
So now the big question is that we
now need to get you booked at one of
our seminars?? I know it would be
great for the volunteers of CARE to
get another refresher from you as
well.
Can you send me the cost information
ASAP so that I can get that to the
board. Can't wait to see you
again – you’re awesome!! Jackie
Hugo, V.P./Seminar Coordinator,
Madison Area Cagedbird Assoc. of
Wisconsin (M.A.C.A.W. Clubs)

Thanks so much for a
great seminar this past
weekend. My
husband and I really
learned a lot and have
already put some of your
techniques to use.
Now that I know how to
hold my Nanday
correctly, he doesn't
run up to my shoulder
where he can't always be
trusted. We know
we'll have even better
relations with all our
guys now.
Empowering! Lots
of new, great tips (and
I read a lot of bird
stuff). Kudos to
you. Michelle
Czosnek
a week later:
Our birds are doing
great; we're still using
your techniques.

Dear Ken Globus, Thank
you for giving and
sharing your knowledge
with us at your class. I
know so many birds will
be happier because of
you. You bet every one
will spread the word.
This was the most
important class I have
ever been to. Thank you
from me and my birds.
And the other people I
will be talking to in
the future. Thank you ,
Thank you!!! Your
class was amazing! I
know every person and
bird benefited from your
instruction. Thank you
for coming to our little
group of bird loving
people. Sincerely,
Mary Rose Barron

Hi Ken, I had lunch
with Lori Drew today
and told her this
story. She thought
you’d get a kick out
of it and encouraged
me to send it to
you. My
husband Brian and I
do wildlife rescue,
in addition to
volunteering at
CARE. Last Sunday,
we got called out to
relocate a female
mallard and her 11
just-hatched
ducklings out of an
enclosed courtyard.
Brian used your
distraction
techniques with the
hand (at a longer
distance, of course)
to herd her into a
corner and capture
her. Had he spooked
her, she would have
flown away,
abandoning her
babies. Instead, we
were able to move
the family to a more
appropriate place.
