Drs. Jan Hooimeijer, vogeldierenarts, studeerde in 1982 af aan de Faculteit Diergeneeskunde van de Universiteit Utrecht. Van 1983 tot aan zijn pensioen als praktiserend vogeldierenarts was hij eigenaar van de Vogelkliniek en in 2013 richtte hij Adviespraktijk voor Vogels op. Zijn focus ligt op het voorkomen van gezondheids- en welzijnsproblemen.
Drs. Hooimeijer is een gecertificeerd papegaaiengedragsdeskundige, lid van de Association of Avian Veterinarians, het AAV Welfare Committee, het AAV Conservation Committee, en lid van de European Society of Veterinary Clinical Ethology en lid van de European Association of Avian Veterinarians (EAAV).
Zijn werk omvat de ontwikkeling van het Nederlandse 5-stappen Gedragsprotocol om een relatie te creëren gebaseerd op wederzijds respect en vertrouwen. Dit protocol dient als hulpmiddel bij het voorkomen, aanpakken en oplossen van gedragsproblemen. Daarnaast heeft drs. Jan Hooimeijer definities geformuleerd voor normaal, gewenst, ongewenst en gedwongen gedrag. De definitie van verdringingsgedrag, zoals ontdekt en beschreven door prof. dr. Niko Tinbergen, een van de grondleggers van de ethologie, speelt hierbij een belangrijke rol. Dankzij deze definities kan 'gedrag' herkend en begrepen worden, waardoor duidelijk wordt hoe er het beste op ingespeeld kan worden.
Het is bijzonder dat zowel het gedragsprotocol als de definities van gedrag volledig toepasbaar zijn op papegaaien/dieren en (mensen)kinderen. Dankzij ethologie vervagen de grenzen tussen human animals en non human animals en tussen non human animals.
Jan Hooimeijer is al jaren een graag geziene spreker en gastspreker op diverse symposia en evenementen in binnen- en buitenland. Zijn programma ‘Preventing Health-, Behavior- and Welfareproblems’ is uitermate populair onder studenten, veterinairen. Het heeft menig student diergeneeskunde geïnspireerd om de kennis te gaan toepassen. Ook zijn studenten diergeneeskunde gemotiveerd geraakt om zich te bekommeren om de gezondheidsproblemen en welzijnsproblemen bij vogels.
Sinds 1983 heeft Jan meer dan 88 keer gesproken op internationale congressen en lezingen gegeven aan universiteiten en seminars, en heeft hij deelgenomen aan meer dan 89 internationale congressen.
