Whew!!! My sweet, usually quiet Zeph has decided to show me today what those little lungs can do... dang. Got my earplugs in now but that first KACK! KACK! KACK! KACK! had me nearly falling out of my chair
My poor dog has been panicking for the last hour and hiding under the table. This is the first time she's ever screamed like this (had her 6 months, she's 8.5 years old) and she's done it three times today!! She's out of her cage, just playing around on top and then boom, starts to screech. My guess is it's because my boyfriend, her chosen person, has been on a business trip the past three days. Add to that we boarded her over Christmas. So she's maybe feeling a little abandoned. I've been trying not to react (but OUCH it's hard! haha) and then whistling at her when she's being quiet... I also closed the blinds in case she saw something scary outside. Maybe I'll put a book on tape to give her (and me) something to listen to.
Anyways, just wanted to say WOW, I feel like a real parrot owner now
