Yesterday, while I was cooking, Mishka was playing on her playpen. She flew off, Steven went to uppies her, she kept playing and running away. She refused to step up on his hand, I was unable to assist. He took a stick for her to step up on. She started growling and screaming.
I took the stick and tried, she screamed louder and louder. I put the stick down, she stepped up onto my hand immediately.

THEN Steven asked Mom why did we use a stick? :eek:

We burst out laughing, no wonder Mishka was so scared and petrified, she has never stepped up on a stick. :22:

The stick he used was Zazo's........ :rolleyes:

Now I can finally admit I have a "bird brain"

No actually a bird has more brains than me :eek:

Our AG are smart for sure. Are you going to introduce her to a stick again so that she is not afraid of them? Funny just near Rosie's cage is a bookshelf with lots of figures of spotted animals. She is wisely giving the big elephent the big eye look. I am trying to reassure her it is not real. I think she is coming around to the spots now. My new place is small and the birdcage will be moved when I get rid of a big lazy boy rocker.

Just one problem, Mishka has never stepped onto a stick ever. We have
always used our hands.

I kept a picture of a monkey, on the wall, near her cage. I always made the sound of a monkey, she began to make the monkey sound as well UNTIL one day while on top of her cage, she ripped it off :mad: and has never made the monkey sound again, LoL I guess she hated it :eek:

Crazy how much stuff you had to get rid of, now the lazy boy rocker as well, what are you going to relax on :(
 
Like Ap said, that's actually kind of funny. :eek:

It's funny how birds just don't like certain things, isn't it? It used to be that I couldn't wear my hair back in front of my finches. :D

You gotta feel sorry for our birds :(
When we humans dislike something we say so
How are our birds supposed to express themselves :eek:
