Meet Helen Motteram — UK Bird Advocate & Corvid Behaviour Specialist

Helen is one of the UK’s first bird advocates and behaviourists specialising in corvid behaviour and training.

Her journey began with a childhood fascination for finches and parrots — a curiosity that grew into a deep passion for understanding avian cognition and welfare.

Her experiences include:
• supporting Russell Crow, a rescue rook featured twice on This Morning
• working with Glen, a rescue raven who inspired part of her behavioural approach
• raising Buddy, a captive-born raven with significant behavioural and health difficulties

Today, Helen travels globally as a speaker and rehabber — building a community of avian caregivers and advocating for fear-free, harmonious bird–human relationships.

Why Precision Matters When Supporting Corvids and Parrots

Corvids share surprising behavioural and cognitive similarities with parrots — including their sensitivity, intelligence and need for thoughtful emotional support.

In this webinar, Helen explains how specific handling, gentle training methods and carefully designed environments can make the difference between progress and overwhelm.

Her experience with Buddy, Russell Crow and Glen reveals just how crucial correct implementation is.
