Basic Bird First Aid, which makes up the bulk of this course, taught by Pet Safety Crusader

information you need to keep in mind as you prepare to offer bird-sitting services as part of your

pet-sitting business.

    What a difference this information made in my confidence of working with birds at my shelter. The webinar was great, but the book provides so much more information. I’m also a professional pet sitter and now feel like I can take on bird sitting as well thanks to the knowledge I gained from both the book and course! –Austin Greene, Spartanburg, SC
