What parrots hate

Postby Pajarita » Wed Apr 27, 2016 11:58 am

I thought of this thread when I saw the "10 things humans do that dogs hate" so I thought it would be good if we all had a nice chat about this. What do you think we do that parrots don't like?

I will start (and then we can chip in with comments or a good debate):

1 - No set schedule or routines.

4. To be asked to do something over and over and over

Lol. IKR?.....they can be so stubborn, you can offer them alternatives, but when my stubborrn Gaugan decides that one of my picture frames is the perfect thing to chew, there is not point in asking her to not do it over an over. if she has that "attitude", she thinks she is right and is going to keep at it period. Its time to move the painting.....lol
