Transforming Fear into Fascination: UAE's Parrot Training Experts
Meet Ajeeb, a parrot trainer overcoming ornithophobia to become a skilled member of a diverse team of 30. United by the UAE's Happiness Team for Talking Birds, they aim to showcase avian expertise globally.
Ajeeb's journey began with childhood fear of birds, which he conquered by interacting with a friend's parrot in college. Since then, he has specialized in training various species like love birds, conures, and macaws, excelling in recall techniques and unique behaviors.
Established in 2016 by Salem Al Asli, the Happiness Team unites bird breeders across the UAE, educating the public through festivals and stunning parrot shows. Khalifa Al Musafiri emphasizes emotional bonds with macaws during free flight, stressing their need for dedicated care.
Abdulrahman Al Bahri, mentored by the Happiness Team, focuses on free flight training and responsible bird ownership. He highlights the importance of scientific insights and financial commitment in parrot breeding.
At 20, Hamad Al Bahri represents the next generation's enthusiasm, drawn to avian care through the Happiness Team's gatherings. Asma Mohammed, inspired by bird markets and pet stores, explores her passion for colorful species and free flight under the team's mentorship.
Training durations vary based on bird type and age, emphasizing patience and skill. Asma and others benefit from the team's nutrition advice and community support, enriching aviculture across the UAE.
