Mishka's vidoes used in "Team Building" programs

[antoinette]

A client at work and I began chatting about birds, he loves birds.
He asked me if I have heard an African Grey Parrot called Mishka on you tube.
I mentioned that Mishka is my AG, I swear the client began jumping up and down he could not believe it, actually coming face to face with Mishka's guardian.

He then told me they are using Mishka's video's in team building programs, showing staff members how well a parrot and a human can communicate and learn from each other. Stating how patient we are with each other and giving each time to talk, listening and ask questions

He then put his laptop on and showed me some of the video's they are using.

He had over 50 videos of Mishka, using them for different team building programs when going away with staff members for weekends.

He reckons they are having a huge success within the company now, staff members are being extremely patient and listening to each other.
Many of Mishka's little saying are quoted daily within the office environment.

It is lovely to know that people can learn something just by watching a video.

Below is one of the videos they have learnt from.

How amazing that Mishka and you have touched the lives of people you don't even know. And to think, your videos are being used by a company, a whole company for training! That's so awesome, Ant!

Sounds like a personal visit from you and Mishka to the company would be a great.

Mishka: I want to kiss Stevieboy
Ellie: Oh Mishka, don't we all?

I'm not at all surprised they're using Mishka as a training resource: he has *so* much to offer! Seems to me, though, he should get a few pellets in return for his intellectual property.

Oh my!!! Thats incredible! Fancy that

Thats brilliant they use Mishka for HUMAN training hahahaha

Can Mishka be any more special?!

 

[crimson]

this just gets better and better. I would have loved to see the look on the clients face when you told him you were his owner, ha ha.

Takrail has a good idea

Mishka should insist on being put on the company payroll-- or at least ought to be entitled to a consulting fee. Now, if they need a video of a parrot pretending to be a stuffed toy, Ralph is available.

You & Mishka are an inspiration to us all. You already know how I feel about you two. Well done!

 

[MikeyTN]

That is sooooo cool that you meet a client that uses your video as a inspiration!!!! Mishka is so inspirational!!!

 

[Calace]

That's amazing, though not surprising! Mishka truly is a wonderful bird and you are an incredible mummy to him!

Thanks faeryphoebe !!!!

I am sure if Mishka understood what was going on he would be so touched and proud.

The client hinted his staff members would love to meet Mishka.......

Lets see what happens !!!!

Thanks Trish !!!!
Given the chance Mishka would kiss everyone....

Believe it or not Mishka does not work with treats, I have tried and tried. He used to take popcorn, but I guess he grew out of it LoL

I reward him with and abundance of love each and every day.

 

[antoinette]

this just gets better and better. I would have loved to see the look on the clients face when you told him you were his owner, ha ha.

The look on his face was priceless....
First shock, then he became to excited, he even started giggling.

Thanks Tab

I also commented about using a bird for human training.
He said it is something so special and it works !!!

Haha you and Steven are in exactly the same brain wave
Imagine Mishka being paid and all he is doing is what he loves "TALKING"

You never know what can happen Tab ????

Thanks RockysMom !!!!

Mishka is actually a male. I had him DNA when 3 years old, always believing Mishka was a female.

Well life is full of surprises I learnt.
