Diane Grindol grew up in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, in a 1950's postwar planned community where most of the streets were named after birds. She attended college in Fulton, Missouri, spending her junior year abroad in Nantes, France. Diane moved to the Monterey Peninsula on California\u2019s Central Coast in 1982, where she acquired a gray cockatiel<\/a> hen named Dacey, her companion for the next 22 years. She raised seven generations of Dacey's chicks and exhibited some of them in bird shows.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Dacey inspired Diane to write for the American Cockatiel Society<\/a>, American Cage Bird Magazine<\/em>, the American Federation of Aviculture<\/a>'s magazine's AFA Watchbird<\/em> and eventually Bird Talk<\/em> magazine. She briefly published Bird World Magazine<\/em> in the 1990s. Diane wrote Bird Talk<\/em> magazine's \"Small Birds\" column from 1988 until the magazine ceased publication in 2012.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Her passion for educating bird owners resulted in numerous bird leaflets and fliers, in talks given to bird clubs and at seminars, and eventually led to writing books. She is author of \"Cockatiels For Dummies\"\u00ae, and co-authored \u201cBirds Off The Perch,\u201d \u201cParrot<\/a> Tricks\u201d and \u201cTeaching Your Bird to Talk,\u201d as well as a few other bird-care books. Diane self-publishes books, the most recent being a series of books featuring haiku poems and her photos of pets, including Dogku, Catku, Birdku and Horseku. See many of her books at her Amazon author page<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Diane resides on the Monterey Peninsula with several cockatiels, a canary<\/a> and a blue-headed Pionus parrot<\/a>. She has been a full-time pet sitter since 2002.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/author\/diane\/","slug":"diane","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/DianeGrindol-hs-24x24.jpg","48":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/DianeGrindol-hs-48x48.jpg","96":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/DianeGrindol-hs-96x96.jpg","128":"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/DianeGrindol-hs-128x128.jpg"},"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDiane Grindol, Author at Lafeber\u00ae Pet Birds<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/author\/diane\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"profile\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Diane Grindol, Author at Lafeber\u00ae Pet Birds\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/author\/diane\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Lafeber\u00ae Pet Birds\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/DianeGrindol-hs.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"300\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"300\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"ProfilePage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/author\\\/diane\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/author\\\/diane\\\/\",\"name\":\"Diane Grindol, Author at Lafeber\u00ae Pet Birds\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/#website\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/author\\\/diane\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/author\\\/diane\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/author\\\/diane\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Archives for Diane Grindol\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/\",\"name\":\"Lafeber\u00ae Pet Birds\",\"description\":\"Two Generations of Veterinarians Caring & Working for the Health of Animals\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/0b44ffa682bce7703f0149b91ed2ba3d\",\"name\":\"Diane Grindol\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/DianeGrindol-hs-96x96.jpg\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/DianeGrindol-hs-96x96.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/lafeber.com\\\/pet-birds\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/DianeGrindol-hs-96x96.jpg\",\"caption\":\"Diane Grindol\"},\"description\":\"Diane Grindol grew up in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, in a 1950's postwar planned community where most of the streets were named after birds.
