Dummy me...

[Larry, Baby and Me]

I work at home and my office is around the corner from Baby in the living room. She can hear me but I am out of her sight.

This morning she was constantly hollering - some might call it screaming. It was the "COME HERE - I WANT YOU" calls. She is the quietest bird in the world - and I thought to myself -- here it starts

So... I thought hard before I responded in any way - I did not want to reinforce screaming. So, I waited for to catch her breath in a moment of silence and I called back to her. That worked for a second. Then I waited for her to become silent again and went to her and she laid her beak on the cage bar and I stroked her beak as is our custom.

While I was stroking her beak - I looked down and I saw her food dish was EMPTY!

I filled her dish with food and all is well... Dummy me!

Larry,

When a "normally" quiet bird is not quiet, something is not normal....

So you ARE human! At least you noticed the empty dish and were not to rushed to get back into the office to help her out. Good dad, big stretch for you....

Now get back to work!

Room service needs a reminder once in a while, you just have to give them a shout out!

I actually trained my toucan to scream (http://youtube.com/watch?v=O03IxWNfA4U) whenever she is either out of food, water or wants the light turned out. It works wonders actually, and she doesn't scream for any other reason.

Yes, Birds always come first. If they are content then all is well.
