What you need to know about bird first aid and bird-sitting—

ALL IN ONE COURSE!

When you sign up for Bird First Aid & Care for Pet-Care Professionals, you will get immediate

access to the course. This course is conducted through a series of easy-to-follow video tutorials.

The program is designed to move at your own pace from the comfort of your own home and you

will have 6 months to complete it.

 

This course is made up of two sections:

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

Denise Fleck.  Because most pet first aid trainings and courses focus primarily on dogs and cats,

it’s important to take advantage of bird-specific pet first aid training like this one if you plan to

offer avian care services.

Topics Include:

• Checking Vitals and Head-to-Tail Feathers check
• Basic Avian care and diseases
• What to do for :  Attacks by another animal, Broken Blood Feathers, Bleeding Tongue,

Breathing Difficulties, Burns, Dehydration, Diarrhea, Poisoning,

Regurgitation/Vomiting, Shock and Straining

• What Items to Have in Your Bird’s First Aid Kit

 

Bird-Sitting Basics, conducted by Pet Sitters International staff. This section reviews the basic

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

pet-sitting business.

 

Passing this course will award students with a certificate of completion.

PSI members also receive the Bird-Care Specialist icon on their PSI Pet Sitter Locator listing upon

completing this course.  And as a special bonus, as a student of this course you also receive

access to a bird care profile sheet, which you can use during your meet and greets to gather

information about any birds that will be in your care.

 

Please note: After six months, you will no longer have access to your course or course materials,

including your certificate of completion (so be sure to download it).
