Does anyone have a parrot they can leave out while cooking (particularly flighted ones) where you know for certain it knows to stay away from the cookware and trust it to roam free while you cook (knives, boiling water, pans, etc)?
I know I sure don't. I wish Kili would be more timid of that kinda stuff. But I've had her land in a (luckily cold) pan right on the stove. But then I knew I'd have a fried Senegal if it were actually on with her out. Has anyone successfully let their bird touch a just slightly hot stove where they learned their lesson and forever stayed away from it (kind of like people do with children)?
While I don't trust Kili around a hot pot/pan I do trust her around my hot lights. I have a pair of 1,000 watt lamps I use for some of my videos and I was really worried about Kili flying into one when she started to fly. They get extremely hot but Kili doesn't seem the least bit interested. I think the fact that they are blindingly bright reduces her desire of flying toward them anyway. Also I usually raise them as high as the ceiling and she flies lower than the height they shine from.
