TPiH 071 Mckenna Hardin

Christopher and I first met McKenna while recording downtown during the Dog Days of Summer Third Thursday event last year. We wanted to record audio snippets of people talking about their dogs, when we noticed this teenager walking around with a parrot on her shoulder.

When the thien 16-year-old McKenna sat down to visit with us, we quickly realized there was a much bigger story to be told. This wasn't just someone with a pet parrot - this was someone who has a passion for birds and is actively working to build a career in training big birds. You can hear that episode here

It took a few months, but we finally brought McKenna into the studio to tell us more about her love of birds, and the adventures she's had traveling the United States learning how to raise, care for, and train birds.

You can also follow McKenna's fun and light-hearted feathered tales at her Instagram - it's filled with cute pictures of birds and funny comedic bits.
