A Too lives for attenation, good or bad they do not care.


I once learned from an Amazon expert and author... She said that while she agrees that there shouldn't be the "drama" reward, she does say that you need to tell the bird a firm "no bite." It needs to know that you don't approve. Just like another bird in the wild would tell another one, 'hey, watch it, you bit me too hard' Smile
