Remember that story I told recently about how Mia flew in to the stairwell last year and kind of just laughed at me because I couldn’t reach her instead of recalling? She flew in to the stairwell again today, a year later, but recalled perfectly.  

The reason she didn’t recall a year ago is because she can hear the birds downstairs, she used to have an attachment problem to the eldest one which meant that her motivation to get to them was greater than the desire to recall to me.  This was particularly difficult to work with, trying to teach a bird to be motivated for something different than what they want takes a lot of work and it did push my limits where I believed that maybe it just wasn’t going to get better. I ended up spending numerous times with the same situation, her in the stairwell not listening, trying to convince her to come down for extensive periods of time, her ability to recall when asked to is really crucial to her safety, what if she gets out one day, what if a natural hazard happens, what if she keeps flying down the stairs, those birds are aggressive she will get hurt one day.  She won’t be able to come down in those situations, it got frustrating, it really seemed like nothing I did would help her overcome this.

After the past year of training this stands as an excellent example of how some of the more difficult problems we can encounter can and will improve, just takes some dedication on our part.  I know a lot of you deal with situations similar to this where you feel like no matter what you do the bird just never seems to make progress, whether it’s taming, aggression, plucking or attachment issues it can be really tough to stick with it but this just serves as a little example of how things do get better if you just keep trying.

Help? :)

Hiiiii I'd like to ask everyone for a quick favor if you guys are up for it, I'm going to be doing a PSA video for Broadcast Journalism and I wanted to do it about Gender Equality and a part of it is about being Pro-Choice and I just wanted to know if anyone would make a small clip saying "It's my body, it is my choice" so I could just insert it into the video... If you're up for it, e-mail me at [email protected] and pass it on to your followers if you don't mind.. Thanks guys.

It would be really cool if someone made a mashup movie of all the cautionary videos they show you in elementary and middle school, so its a video warning you about drugs, unsafe sex, cheating, vandalism, gang violence, driving under the influence, trains, and natural disaster preparedness all at the same time, while still keeping the tone of the old videos, that were somehow corny as hell and surreal and terrifying all at once.
