Hello, @Carol I would like to join the other members in wishing you a very warm welcome to the forum community.
once you join the website you can also post your TrustedHousesitters listing to your forum profile so other members can view it and give you feedback and tips to help you get started.

I grew up with my grandparents having Cockatiels, Canaries and Finches. I think there would definitely be some members with bird experience on the site, or who could spend some time with you during a handover and be keen to learn.
If you need any help joining just let me know.
Best wishes Carla
