Catskill Exotic Bird Club
|
|
Even though all the
classic,
old hotels have fallen into decay, there is a vibrant, growing bird
community thriving in the Catskills. And although it's a tiny
club, Vice President Matt Frumess and members did a great job of
attracting people from far and wide, enough to fill two workshops.

Special thanks to Matt Frumess, VP of
Catskilll Exotic Bird Club,
for making this happen |
|
And thanks
also to Richie Chiger, Club president
and all the club members who helped

Richie Chiger, President, Catskill Exotic Bird Club
"Dear
Ken - Animals mean a great deal to me as do the people
who help them live a happier and fuller life. I have
been in touch with several of the people who were at the
workshop and you have made a real difference for them as
far as the relationship they have with their birds. I
am happy that you came here and touched our lives."

"Thanks for a great seminar this
past weekend at the Catskill Exotic Bird Club in Monticello,
NY. I truly enjoyed the workshop and hope you come to our
area again someday for another one." Sincerely, Lee

"One
of the best things to come out of the workshop is that
Nicole is no longer afraid or intimidated by Ozzy and holds
him and plays with him all the time." Fern Faber

"I would like to
thank you for your presentation and advice. You were able to relate to all of us on our own
personal levels which most people I've met in the world
cannot do.
 That also explains your connection to the
birds as well. You read them as most of us owners
cannot do. You were above and beyond what I expected.
"I have
not met many people in the world who take the time to "see"
the people they are dealing with as they are. Most
presenters show things in their own personal way and that's
the way it is, take it or leave it - you showed each
person your way, but you presented it so they
could understand it. That to me was the real help for the
birds. Thank you again for everything; I'm absolutely a
true believer." Demanie Wargo

"Hi Ken, Thanks for
(another) wonderful workshop. It has been just over a
year since the last workshop I attended with you and the
change in my relationship with my Orange Winged Amazon
Parrot has been dramatic. This “refresher” class was
worth both the time and the money. It confirmed my
theory that I do in-fact have a “difficult’ bird and that
the work I have been doing with the animal has been very
progressive.
The class also allowed me
to correct some nasty habits I might be developing and fine
tune the techniques you teach. I was not under any
misconceptions about having you “fix” my bird; the class was
really for me. Watching you work with my bird allowed
me to understand the techniques and methods I’ll need to
follow up with. Since attending my second seminar with
you, the changes have been dramatic and I encourage others
to try a follow up seminar, like I did, about a year after
the first.
I would be interested in
attending other workshops, and I’ll be checking your website
for information on those.
Thanks again and best
regards," Matt Susskind
