I tell Dobby I'm going to kick his little red butt. Pippen spends most of her time in her cage as she gets nippy when out so I scritch her through the bars and say gentle when she tries to nibble or bite too hard, she usually backs off and tries to be gentle for a bit.

When I had budgies, it was you are going to be "budgie burgers". The tiels it has been "cockatiel stew".
Bebe is nipping and it's "I can bite alot harder then you can BEHAVE". When I was volunteering, I had to watch what I said to birds. It was always a whisper no naughties .

I use to tell Jellybean that I’m gonna rip his beak off but now I’m scared he’ll start threatening Papaya with that. He already says “Papaya you’re bad” and “shut up” (sister taught him that :facepalm:) even though he is the one being a troublemaker.

Lennerd I threaten to pluck his butt feathers out or that I’m gonna cook him like a quail.

Uchtred can do no wrong in my eyes so she just gets “don’t be a sassy duck” when she acts up and Papaya is a good boy for the most part, unless he decides to sing the song of his people but then Bean yells at him.

When Sherbs was still around, I'd tell Rupert that she'd be happy to tear him a new cloaca. :rofl:

I don't really threaten Rupert, aside from saying "I'm gonna get you!", which means I ruffle him in a towel, which he has fun with anyways. Most of the time, I just say "Can't you be nice, you little poop goblin?!"

Bailey for the last few days has this ugly loud raunchy call he does cause he wants to come out. Which I don’t give in to when he does it, so I shout for ‘him to not be a butthead and be quiet!! ‘
well this morning the butthead, started grumbling under his breath…”what’s your problem.” :rofl: Cracked me right up…:lol:
