It's a never ending learning eceprience with our CAGS (parrots in general). The strangest things seem to make Perjo uneasy while things you'd feel certain would spook her just don't seem to.
IE: vacuum cleaner: Perjo loves when I use the vacuum, and even up close to her cage and when she's out of the cage she doesn't shy from it. Matter of fact she raises her volume to make sure I can hear her over the vacuum. To me she should be scared to death of it. It's noisy, it's a Tri Star so it's dark in color and very long and intimidating looking.
IE: kitchen towel. I came from the kitchen into the LR where her cage is hoping to put a towel on top of cage door, she likes to sit there. It's red with white stripes, and she flew across the room scared to death of this thing. I can't even get it close enough for her to touch and realize it's the same thing she walks on on my coffee table everyday.
IE: big black garbage bag used when I clean her cage, she's fine with.
I just find it all interesting and yet perplexing at the same time.
Any examples of your CAGS with those quirky behaviors?
And FTR this post took 20 minutes to type, everything locks up on me in the message body on this site, this is the only site it happens to me on. Locks ups, unlocks, locks up, unlocks. Very annoying, any ideas why?
