Unfortunately he's quite hearing impaired so I have to have the time to watch the videos with him and I haven't had the chance to do that yet. I think Mojo's biggest problem with him is that he treats him like one of the dogs, and Mojo quite clearly is nothing like a dog!
I could have written this comment as my husband is also very hard of hearing. So much so that he can tell Tamber
is talking but can't make out what he's saying.
What my husband can hear that aggravates the heck out of him is Teyla's
screaming. I have tried to tell him to not acknowledge her when she does it and to walk out of the room; but, it does no good! He acts as though he's training a dog! Unfortunately, Teyla learned how to scream from her nestmate Tico.
My husband didn't used to yell at Teyla in front of me until Tamber
busted him! Imagine my surprise when I first heard this:
Teyla
Squawk!
Tamber
Hey!
Teyla
Squawk!
Tamber
Cut that out!
Teyla
Squawk!
Tamber
Come on already!
Teyla
Squawk!
Tamber
Hey, did you hear me?
Teyla
Squawk!
Tamber
SCREETCH!!!!
This defeats what I've been trying to teach these birds! Now I appreciate that Tamber restrains himself, but eventually he gives in. If we ever have to move out of this house, we are going to have a problem with noise! It does leave me wondering just how many time birds are rehomed because the human family needs training
