The EPE program begins with acknowledgement of stages based on physical characteristics and not necessarily age. By identifying and breaking down the stage identification by physical characteristics, the EPE program can span across the many species of parrots raised as companions. The EPE program utilizes “Tools” to implement the “Educational Focus” or lessons introduced at a timely moment. Tools used in the Educational Focus include: Nurturing, Monitoring, Socialization, Desensitization, Modeling, Mentoring, and in later stages, Play. Each lesson, once mastered, becomes a building block toward a more advanced lesson as the fledgling matures.

Introduction to the program

Avian caretakers, be it the breeder, pet retailer and even the new pet owner, maintain a record of each parrot chick’s achievement or advancement with Chick Growth Chart, Chick Weaning Chart, and most importantly, the Chicks Primary Lessons. As these documents become part of the parrot’s permanent records, caretakers can maintain the education that benefits the bird’s lifestyle as a companion pet.
