Lisa A. Bono, CPBC

Lisa A Bono, CPBC has been involved in aviculture over the past four decades and has been a caregiver to numerous species of parrots during that time. In early 1990, Bono founded and served as President for the Sussex County Exotic Bird Club in North Jersey, and shortly thereafter, acquired her first African grey parrot, a wild caught Timneh. Her life changed forever. In the fall of 2000, Lisa obtained a baby Congo African grey parrot, which unbeknownst to her, was ill. During his short time on earth, Ms. Bono was thrown into a tumultuous learning curve. With the bird’s passing, Lisa vowed to continue her avian education in order to ensure the best lives possible for African grey parrots everywhere.

Ms. Bono has fulfilled her educational aspirations over the past three decades, at veterinary and behavior conferences, LLP course: Living & Learning with Parrots, Living & Learning with Animals, and hands-on training seminars. She has been mentored by some of the most knowledgeable and well respected veterinarians, scientists, nutritionists and behavior consultants in the field of aviculture. Ms. Bono continues her education with every opportunity offered. Some classwork can be viewed here:  http://greyparrotconsulting.com/educational-components/
