Trip Report

Introduction
The International Association of Avian Trainers and Educators holds the conference every year. It aims at providing a chance of gathering for trainers already specializing in bird training and those who would like to expand their knowledge by meeting with trainers from all around the world.

This year 2009 was the first year that Bird Team from Ocean Park sent staff members to take part in this meaningful function. The 2 representatives were Vincent Siu (Avian Supervisor) and Will Leung (Assistant Avian Trainer).

The event lasted for 5 days and took place from Feb 24 to 28, 2009. This year the conference host would be the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. It is a non-profile organization which is, just like Ocean Park, dedicated to adventure, conservation and education. It has a high reputation on its old history; it is the second oldest zoo in the United States and was found in 1873. It has been recognized as one of “The 10 Best Zoos for Kids”, probably because of its leadership in science education & conservation programs. Its bird department has staff as board directors in IAATE.

Feb 23rd 2009
On Feb 23, we checked in at Hong Kong Airport for the Flight of United Airlines Inc.UA896 and the plant took off at 11:40 am. The flight took around 14 hours to Chicago USA, a bit earlier than expected. However, due to the long time spent waiting for luggage and the time-consuming immigration process, we almost missed the other flight which we were supposed to transit to our destination. We hoped the flight schedule would not have been so tight that we would likely fail to make it.
The transit flight, UA5328, departed from Chicago and arrived at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport after around 1 hour. It was 3:30 pm at local time. After checked out, unfortunately, we were told that the luggage of both of us was delayed and would arrive in the evening (but it ended up arriving the next morning)

We called a cab to take us to Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, where we would stay for the whole trip and the conference was held.

Feb 24th 2009
It was only a warn-up day for the conference. It was important to make registration at the beginning since detailed information of the conference would be given, such as time table and function venues. The host also provided us with name badges on which stickers are coordinated to events we had paid extra for during the conference like trips and workshops. The badges of course also showed attendants’ name as well as titles of their corresponding institutions.

At the registration area, Vincent encountered a friend, Mr. Ashley Smith, whom he had met at the AZA course a year back.

After registration, there came the first event that was the pre-conference trip. In fact, two different trips were available to choose: 1) Columbus Zoo and 2) Day of Falconry; and the one we had chosen during application was the latter. Tens of attendants gathered in the hotel lobby and then squeezed inside the vans prepared by Cincinnati Zoo and headed to the falconry venue. The journey to the countryside of Cincinnati took less than an hour. After getting out of the vans, we found us at a chilly, deserted field with nothing more than free-standing high bald trees around. It was actually not a specifically designed location for falconry but instead an amazingly wide open wild field which was very suitable for falconry and hunting. A crew of falconers was already standing by for our arrival. After they gave a brief introduction about their background and experiences, they started presenting their birds of prey one by one for the hunting. Some of them were harris hawks and falcons. One of the keepers first released the bird to freely fly and land on trees nearby, while other crew members were picking up suitable wood branches from the landscape. They started stirring the bushes and thorns with the sticks to startle wild rabbit as we all walked along the field and trees. After a while, a big rabbit was startled and escaped from a bush, and, in not more than one second reaction time, the hawk already thrust down from the tree and precisely grabbed its prey. The keeper rushed to the spot at once and killed the rabbit by removing its head. They said it was necessary to kill the prey as soon as possible since sometimes the prey like squirrels would struggle fiercely when caught and their sharp and powerful scratches would exert potential risk to the birds. The birds took turn after each successful hunt until lunch time.

We got back on the vans again and traveled for a few minutes to have a casual lunch at a residential house where a juvenile cheetah was kept as a part in a local conservation program called Cat Ambassador Program of the Cincinnati Zoo. The cheetah was as temp with people as a cat and friendly with its housemate (which is a dog!).

After lunch, we traveled back to the field again and falconry continued for about 2 more hours. Some birds occasionally missed in the attack and we noticed that keepers always shouted “hup!” to call back the birds upon their gloves. As we were told, falconers were a very unusual job in US and licenses were very hard to obtain and nowadays there were only tens of professional falconers in the whole country.

That night icebreaker was thrown in a ball room at the hotel. There we played a questionnaire game that helped attendants to know each other before the conference. We had a nice discussion with a volunteer in a Mexican zoo and an American bird keeper about the bird show and the daily house-keeping work they did.

Feb 25th 2009
It was the day the conference formally began. Welcome speech was given by 2008 Kim Caldwell, president of IAATE, and Thane Maynard, CEO of Cincinnati Zoo, followed but presentations started from the one given by one of the two keynote speakers, John Ruthven, who was an internationally acknowledged master of wildlife art. The presentations made by different parties went on until supper time. After that it was our first workshop regarding avian enrichment. The speaker first gave us general information about enrichment in various aspects, and at last she let us be in small groups and have a group discussion of enriching different bird kinds. Vincent and I joined the parrot group. We all came up with many different ideas that might effectively enrich the birds e.g. water bubbles as a visual enrichment. Vincent presented an enrichment handout done by Trainer Nelson Wan to other attendants and they said the ideas were good, especially the plastic windmill seed-dispenser.
We was inspired by others’ ideas and realized that creativity was the key in enrichment design and understanding the natural history of the target species was critical to make effective and safe enrichment.

Feb 26th 2009
That morning, before the presentations started, we stood up our posters along with those made by other participants. There were totally 5 posters shown on the side of the hall. Ours looked conspicuous due to its huge size. People would hang around the poster area anytime, especially the break time between presentations. The posters from other organizations demonstrated training and conservation program for birds. All of them were professional and good for our reference.

During the break the two of us were approached by Steve Martin, a well-known master in bird training and owner of Natural Encounters, Inc. Both of Vincent and I had never met him before and he found us in the name of Ocean Park. We chatted for a while about the current situation of our department.

Vincent had been assigned as a facilitator of one presentation session and he helped in the conference to introduce presenters and coordinate with the host.

After a few presentations, there was a informal vote to choose topics for the subsequent roundtable session. Participants proposed different ideas and then voted to pick up the most popular ones. Vincent and I were interested in the one about emotional birds. Our group involved some 10 people, including trainers, keepers, educator as well as a workshop presenter Professor S.G. Fiedman, from Department of Psychology of Utah State University. Everyone took turn to give ideas or share his/her case regarding problems in emotional birds. I raised my concern about our hyacinth macaws Creamy and Don who tended to block the cage door probably due to jealousy when trainers went in and tried to take either one of them out of the cage. Steve Martin, who had been managing his own work nearly, overheard our case and felt interested and joined our discussion. The roundtable spent a long time discussing the case and many participants including Prof. Fiedman, Sid Price (IAATE President) and Steve Martin gave comments and suggestions. For example, Steve Martin suggested us to spend time on the adaptation of letting their partner be taken away and being left alone in the cage; we might first repetitively take up one of them, say Creamy, and then put it back, and reward Don for staying on the perch. By increasing gradually the distance from Don might help ease the problem. He also suggested that after taking Creamy out, we could put it into s small cage just outside their common cage. As such, Don might not have a strong feeling of being left alone. Vincent, on the other hand, raised the case that ………. (I forgot)

The roundtable ended in the mid afternoon, and we had not applied for the entertaining Night Out event that evening.

Feb 27, 2009
We spent the whole morning on the second workshop about animal behaviors and training, and the presenter was Prof. Fideman as mentioned before. A detailed handout of her powerpoint was distributed. She explained that the essence of animal behaviors and training was based on exploration in understanding what they thought. In the workshop, we were further inspired about the way on which animal trainers should think during handling animals. Although that workshop was more like a presentation than an interactive workshop, the content was very useful and widened our view on animal training.

In the afternoon the host prepared a school bus for the visit to Cincinnati Zoo. The zoo was only 30-min away from the hotel. First we came up to Cheetah Encounter to enjoy a cheetah run demonstration. The cheetah stars were the mature ones and much bigger in size than the residential juvenile. In the demonstration, as soon as the cheetah was released from backup, the keepers put the bait (a doll mice) with a machine so fast that the cheetah had to accelerate in a flash to its full speech in order to grab the bait in a designated distant. We all were amazed by the awesome high speed U-turns and brakes made by them.

After that, we gathered at the resource centre of the zoo to register for the Behind the Sense guided tour. The BTS of the bird exhibits and theatre were surely our first choice. We first visited the backup of their bird exhibits. Unlike our park, photography and video recording were permitted there. We took a lot of photos about the facilities such as the treatment room and food storage room as well as their bird collection. In a nursery room the officer grabbed up a baby penguin and handed to us for circulation. The bird pooped on our jacket and the officer merely passed us a piece of tissue for wiping. Their concern on hygiene was not as high as our park probably because of relatively low risk in bird flu in Ohio.
Due to the low temperature of winter in Ohio, many outdoor exhibits as well as the bird theatre “Wings of Wonder” were closed for a few months. Although we did not have a chance to watch the bird show, we went behind into the backup. Parrots were housed in individual small cages and there we saw a ground hornbill too. We noted that a piece of sheet was affixed on the door which leaded to the front stage of the theatre. It read, “There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first or last time, I owe him my best”. We appreciated that posting up a notice like that was a super idea to cheer up the MC and trainers to have a greater performance.
After that, we also visited other exhibit of the zoo before heading back to the hotel.

Feb 28th, 2009
It was the last day of the conference. That day began with a presentation given by the second keynote speaker Devere Burt. He was dedicated to wildlife conservation, natural area preservation and endangered species advocacy. He gave a slice show of his art showing the field work on conservation he had done before.

After a few presentations, a period of time was designated as poster view time. Authors like us were required to be present at their posters so that viewers could ask questions or chat with authors. Quite a few of them showed their interest in our poster and asked detail of the training procedures we had done. Some keepers explained to us that they were keen to practice related husbandry training with their birds but their plan never started due to lack of time and man power. As we found out via chatting, many of the keepers and trainers did have a tight schedule on daily work and shows and that made it hard to spare more time for basic husbandry training and enrichment process.

Among all the presentations given in those few days, the most impressive ones to us would be “Expanding Freeflight Using Outdoor Environments: Safer Bird Shows and Incredible Experiences” given by Chris Biro, manager of The Pirate’s Parrot Show. The powerpoint played several videos depicting the joys and incredible flying skills of the macaws under that freeflight program carried out in valleys. It helped increase the competence of free flying birds and reduce the risk of loss or injury during free flight in shows. Yet, programs in a similar scale would be barely practical in our park due to inadequate terrains, obstacles and disturbance.

We did evaluation on the conference and voted for the best presentation and poster. The last event of the conference was the Banquet. During the Banquet, the host played slide show of photo contest winners. After that the host presented the awards to the winner Ashley Smith for both the best presentation and best poster. His presentation was “Captive Breeding and Release of Red Kites Milvus milvus to Hampshire, England” and poster “The Gyps Vulture Restoration Project in Pakistan”.
Then the outgoing president of IAATE Kim Caldwell gave a speech, followed by the incoming president Sid Price. Kim Caldwell formally handed over the presidency to Sid Price, who at last formally announced the 2009 conference was closed.

March 1st – 2nd 2009
We took a cab to Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport and the flight UA7969 at about 10 am to Chicago where we transited by the flight UA895 and arrived in Hong Kong at around 6 pm on March 2nd 2009.
