Let's Talk Tailwaggers!

​Wednesday July 20th 2016, we had the privilege of being on one of our favorite TV shows "Let's talk tailwaggers" on BPTV. They always upload their videos to YouTube for the world to be able to watch! Hope you enjoy this episode!

Behind the scenes with Maniac Magazine!

John was asked to have a few of his birds in a magazine shoot for Maniac Magazine!
What Maniac Magazine had to say about their shoot-"This was by far one of our wildest cover shoots to date. We were inspired by Hotel Monaco’s bird-theme design and brought in nearly a dozen exotic birds to create the chic, tropical-like scene. Chloe was a champ when it came to working with the colorful, feathered creatures thanks to some help from her dog trainer and bird expert John Lege from ‘That Guy with the Birds’. This is one for the books!"

Let's Talk Tailwaggers!

That Guy With The Birds was invited back to BPTV for another episode of Let's Talk Tailwaggers with Susan Roberti. It's always a pleasure to be on her program, and we thank you so very much for al that you do for the our pets!

Becca makes her first public appearance!

John Lege AKA "That Guy With The Birds" dedicates a song about Alex to Dr Irene Pepperberg.

Purchased from a pet store at the age of 12-13 months in June of 1977, Alex came from humble beginnings. His accomplishments proved that African Grey parrots have an intelligence far beyond what was thought before his decades-long work with Dr. Pepperberg. On September 6, 2007, at the age of 31, Alex passed away of a sudden heart arrhythmia.

He will always be missed.

March 31st 2014-Let's Talk Tailwaggers

John was invited back to a local Pittsburgh channel (BethelPark TV) to talk about some of the birds he has taken in that the owners unfortunately just could no longer care for their birds. The birds were well taken care of, but sometimes "life changing" events occur in our lives (IE: health troubles or even a new child into the family) and the birds cannot adjust to these changes. John talks about several of the birds that have come to his rescue that are just such the case. John would like to thank BPTV for graciously allowing him to tell their stories, so that people may think twice before purchasing a life long commitment that a Parrot can be.

Chicagoland Pet Expo

March 16th 2014 John did a live broadcast on Chicago Local channel 7 promoting the
Chicagoland Family Pet Expo.
Louie is a Green Winged Macaw that has been with John Lege "That Guy With The Birds" for eleven years. Louie is a "Wild Caught Bird" and was smuggled into the US in a suit case many years ago. Louie was very aggressive and does NOT like to be touched or handled. John has worked with Louie every day for the last eleven years trying to get his trust to be handled without a perch stick. While performing at the Chicagoland Family Pet Expo, John decided to see if Louie would allow him to handle him for the first time in public. Emotions were high to say the least! Great job Louie and congratulations John, all that time and hard work has paid off!
John was recently a guest on a local television program called "Let's Talk Tail Waggers" which is produced by Bethel Park Television.
Below is Saraphina.
Saraphina is a Corella Cockatoo or also known as a  Bare Eyed Cockatoo. She  just loves to dance to that old time Rock & Roll!
