[quote=Anonymous]Thanks! But three years and still working on it? Oh wow! Thank goodness she has other good qualities that make up for the parrot bossiness. How do you discipline? I grew up hearing you should blow on the bird, or put it back in the cage. And never yell, because the bird finds that amusing. More recently I was talking to the folks at Phoenix Rising who said you should never put the bird back in its cage because you want it to like its cage--I can see that. But they also said you should never blow on the bird. And basically, after a lot of back and forth, it sounded like I had to adjust to the bad behavior rather than doing anything to let the bird know I was unhappy. As parents we're firmly in the camp of ignoring the people who advise that you never say "no" to your kid, so this doesn't really work for us. What do you do when your guy shrieks?[/quote]
