More to follow in the coming months...
Joanne Abramson started raising macaws in 1976. Her research of macaws led to the publication of over 40 articles in the journal of the American Federation of Aviculture's "The Watchbird," "Bird Talk" and "Bird World Magazine", as well as other periodicals and books. Joanne received the AFA AVY award for writing in 1989 and 1992. She also chaired the AFA Conservation Small Grants Committee from 1992 through 1995.
Joanne is a frequent guest lecturer nationally and internationally. Among the groups she has addressed are the American Federation of Aviculture Conventions, the Conservation and Management of Macaws in Central America Conference in Honduras, The United Kingdom Parrot Conference, the Avian Research Seminars, the Association of Avian Veterinarians and the International Aviculturists Society Conferences.
She lives in rural northern California with her husband Keevan, their macaws, German shepherds, miniature horses, cats and koi.
