The therapy is to touch the animals, birds, know about them, feel them and play with them. The idea of interacting, touching, playing with animals and birds can actually heal, our broken minds and bodies is quite appealing. There have been en number of research studies all over the world and the reports are quite positive.

  • Children who can not concentrate
  • Children having dental procedures
