Unemployed Mississippi Parrot Expert Finds Success Advising Parrot Owners Worldwide
How Difficulty Finding Employment Led to a Career Calling as a Parrot Advisor to the World.
Columbus, MS (PRWEB) June 5, 2006
Nora Caterino, a 49-year old parrot enthusiast and former parrot breeder, moved from Central Florida to Columbus, Mississippi, the poorest American state, to help care for her elderly mother. Jobs in the area were scarce and she needed a flexible schedule. She began freelance writing to survive, but continued seeking satisfying employment. Frustration set in and she simply didn't know where to turn.
That all changed the day she met Frederico Vila Verde of Porto, Portugal through a client-suppler website. He asked her to use her expertise about parrot taming and speech training to write a few articles for his newsletter, Parrots-Secrets. com. Vila Verde asked Caterino if she wanted to turn her parrot hobby into an online business. She was delighted with opportunity to offer insights to parrot owners and the two began work immediately on the Elite Parrots Club (http://www. eliteparrotsclub. com (http://www. eliteparrotsclub. com)).
"I love writing about parrots and making videos about parrot training. This is such satisfying work for me and I get to help hundreds of people solve their parrot training problems and learn how to properly care for their feathered friends," said Caterino. "It's a lot like a reality television show where people can spy on my techniques to tame, train, and teach parrots to speak. Other parrot owners share pictures and videos of their parrots as well."
"In fact," said Caterino, "I have had to joy of helping a college student in Pakistan save his parrot from certain death. He knew little about parrot care and feeding and was giving the bird only apple and banana to eat. The bird was losing weight at an alarming speed. I emailed him facts about proper parrot diet. That day he purchased parrot seed and began feeding the parrot fruits and vegetables as well. I was relieved to learn the parrot improved quickly and is now healthy and happy."
This is not an unusual occurrence for Caterino. Each day, she responds to emails from members of the Elite Parrots Club, a subscription website that provides free training videos, forums, a chat room and much more. She reviews products, provides free advice one-on-one to parrot owners that have questions or concerns about everything from feather plucking to the love life of parrots.
Today, the Elite Parrots Club has hundreds of subscribers. Member participation is high and each month conference telephone calls are held so that members can speak with Caterino directly. Chat conferences are also schedule at various times to meet the needs of parrot owners world-wide.
"I'm so happy that Elite Parrots Club has become such a success. By providing a cost-effective website with a sense of community for members, I can share my skills globally. Parrots aren't really that popular in Mississippi and I just love to tell people about parrots through our club," said Caterino
