SHADOW SPEAK
The Art and Science of Connecting with Birds
Craig Perdue, Ph. D.
About Us
“Modern life provides us with so many amenities, but along the way human beings have lost bonds once formed with wild animals that were integral to primitive life. With decades of research on animal behavior and hands-on animal training, Craig Perdue has developed strategies for overcoming that deficit. With one-of-a-kind, in-person trainings and workshops with birds normally seen only in the wild, Perdue brings that work to life, linking people and nature by engendering an understanding between individual people and individual animals.”
Perdue has made it his mission to educate kids and adults in this same spirit, designing specialized trainings that aim to achieve a deeper understanding of wildlife as individuals and as species.
Perdue provides exposure to birds in natural, programmatic and investigative settings in order to promote understanding of their behavior and link this to conservation action.
For individual bird owners, Perdue also devises customized training in order to improve the relationship between people and their avian companions.
