I recently received an email from a young man who attended one of my workshops in Australia. He is also a college student who is studying the relationship between people and their pets. According to him so far there is a lot of research showing that pet (dog) ownership has many psychological benefits. He believes there is anecdotal evidence that bird owners get many of the same psychological benefits from their relationships with parrots. However he is hoping to collect data to support his observations. In order to do this, he has developed a survey to collect information for his thesis on this subject matter.

If you think living with parrots has had an impact on your life, here is your moment to share it in the name of science. Here is the link to the survey.
