Cell phones are EVIL

[liz]

Rambo answers the house phone. It rings we pick it up and he says helllooo. the person on the other end thinks it is a little boy and starts talking before we can get it to our ear.

Have you seen the YouTube video about the two IRNs who find a cell phone on the table?

yeah i have seen that its really funny, my parrot gets gelious of my cordless phone if i put it on my shoulder in front of her because its grey the same colour as her self

No secret all I do is play videos of the similar kind of birds
and they all love It.
Maybe you could find a way to associate your phone with something good like
get them to pick up treats from off your phone or make him walk near or over it to get a treat.

It might sound silly but anything is better than getting bit for
using your phone

Hah, great comments, everyone. Polarn, you're lucky your bird is so laid back with your phone.

Liz, I would love to hear Rambo answer your phone. I am going to check out that youtube video, too ^^

Lol, I think it's the jealousy factor... when I type on the computer she constantly hops on the keyboard. She is jealous of any electronic device I use. She has never attacked the computer, though, like she has with the smartphone.

There's something about phones that she just hates. She doesn't like the cordless phone, either. I will say it's been a very long since since she last bit me. Now I am just dealing with her pseudo-hormones and dancing moves.
