Sprinting down the street
I respect your opinion but I wasnt giving absolutes. Just suggestions. If anyone wants to review the thread you will see I offered up advice. I took the time and effort to sincerely attempt to help. If she takes my advice or sees another members advice as more sound really doesnt matter to me. I want the best for the bird. What she did tho was dismiss my suggestions point blank and took a holier than thou attitude by stating poking wont tame any bird. If you read closely you will see the passive aggressive nature in her tone and demeanor. I simply responded. THAT is where this thread fell off the rails. Next time somone asks for advice and are given advice they should either not reply (if it is something they dont want to persue), or be kind enough to offer a thanks. Respect has a funny way of being recipracle and vice versa.Well said Beth.
Wayne, much of your thinking may be sound, but you have come out of the starting gates too fast. As another member said, you need to get to know people on this forum and their history with their birds.
I am always cautious of using absolutes to explain or correct a situation - I have been training animals for over thirty years,including African elephants and steer away from absolutes - each situation is unique on some or other level, as is each animal.
