So I've been working with a nice older gal about bringing her 2 Suns into our flock. She has been really wrestling with the idea for months and just finally wrote me asking if I was ready and that she is. I wrote back said I could come right over when she is ready!!
These two are very loud and she has (unintentionally) encouraged that behavior by meeting their incessant screeches with trips outdoors, showers, treats, etc. By feeding into - basically, they've got her whipped! It will be my job to let them see that while they can still do all of those things, they cannot get what they want when they want by screeching at me nonstop. It will also likely help that they will be in a big place with lots to do and many places to climb - not too mention all the chewables! There's a communication barrier we will have to over come
Any tips and positive thoughts are eagerly welcome!! If we get to bring them home this weekend I will post pics ASAP!
