Weirsh Bird
Walking the driveway
My Quaker, Rima, has a number of trigger words that incite attacks on me if I say them around her. Some of them are things like items that she loves such as "carrot" or "broccoli". Some are items that I don't let her have like "tea". Some are just certain noises without any positive/negative associations, like certain clicking sounds or "rolling" your tongue. If I happen to be handling her when she hears one of these words, she immediately bites me REALLY hard. She has done this for years, and no response I have come up with has made her quit, so I try to avoid doing those things for the most part when shes out. Does anyone else have birds that do this, or is she really just the Mean Green Machine? hehe
