So I decided to go back to the sight that I used to get my bird info from and I'm more glad than ever that I left. Looking at the comments made then reading through a few more threads I spotted, I'm thinking that they don't have a clue what they are talking about. At least I can't say I'd put much stock in it.
What kind of person that's in an influential position would condone the theft of a very expensive bird?! Or any animal for that matter?! Sad but true, someone posted about the bird her mother stole and many posted bull such as how "normally they are against this sort of thing but in this case..."
No, that's theft. An arrestable offense and the mother should have been arrested. If the bird was worth over the allotted amount, it should have been grand theft, larceny, or whatever.
Then there's clicker training for a bird. I thought it was a good idea until I tried it yesterday with Alfie and Tilly. Poor things are scared to death! I don't have a clicker but one of the kids' toys makes a similar sound. Scared them, the cockatiel, and China really bad. Won't be wasting my money on one of those!
I think I'll be sticking with my present method with a length of dowel (How the frig they got that I hit them with it from my very clear explanation of it's use is way beyond me! Just shows how twisted their reality really is and the extremes they will go to "prove they know it all" *rolls eyes* )
Oh well, just means I'll be updating this more often instead of posting there.
All it does is exaggerate my hand gestures and I've been using hand signals and spoken word more and the dowel less (It just gives them an object to focus on like a clicker with a dog.) so I figure it won't be long and I'll be using only word commands and a few hand gestures soon.
