my lovebird loves copying sneezes, even with the motion! once when she was doing one of her 'sneezing sessions' with one foot on the cage wall and one on her toy, she was rather of balance, and she 'sneezed' so hard that she almost flipped over under herself!!

Oh, you!
Giving me an excuse to tell a little tale. Okay, sure!


The closest the Rbird comes is a game one might call "Tour de Livingroom".
The Rb (flighted, fearless) will fly to an out-of-reach perch over the high wall-molding in the livingroom and engage in a rude behavior (screaming, name-calling, beaking something he has stolen)...
I yell at him to stop.
He won't.
I stand up and approach.
He still won't.
I grab a little portable ladder.
Now he knows I mean business.
He then flies to perch B, over the drapes, then perch C, on the chandelier (long since disabled, for safety), then the grandfather clock top mantel. Then back to the
high moulding. Same order, always. These are progressively lower perches. Teaser! Only ends when he gets tiered of it. The big rule: if I don't pursue with ladder, etc., he will absolutely scream and flap and tantrum untli I do.
I'm a lousy behavior modifier. I reward bad behaviors. Or... I play the game!
