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

offer avian care services.

- Basic Avian care and diseases
- What to do for : Attacks by another animal, Broken Blood Feathers, Bleeding Tongue,

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.

Pet Safety Crusader – :
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
