When you (literally) accidentally scare the poop out of them

Poor Kyo. I'm sure everyone on Facebook is as annoyed with this auto play feature of videos?

Well, my little bub was sitting politely chattering right next to my computer while we browsed forums/facebook, and a video of a water slide started playing and literally she popped herself and took off. I couldn't help but laugh, even though I feel bad.

Ever accidentally scare your bird so badly they have an accident? this was the first time, as she is really not flighty and a brave girl who will challenge the vacuum cleaner rather than get scared of it lol. I guess I caught her off guard with the loud noise.

Haha awwww poor thing! Yeah it probably was just very unexpected. This has never happened. Pumpkin lives in a loud house with three dogs romping around so he doesn't startle he just joins in and starts screaming. Thanks for the giggle!!

My senegal takes fright routinely through the day though he holds it til he lands. Sometimes his screech as he blasts off get the two blue crowns into the air. But I've rarely had an accident with any of them.

The one time I did was when my brother was visiting. He was up before me and uncovered them which must have spooked them pretty good having him pull the covers off. I came down and let Tootsie out, who does know him. She screeched and took off as soon as the door was open. She flew towards the window, circled and let loose all her morning poop all over the TV and speakers. Which unfortunately permanently stained the speaker fabric.

Not quite the way I wanted to start the morning.

Hmm, if I've literally scared the poop out of them, I'm not aware of it. Just last night, I did scare my Harry (quaker). I acted on pure impulse last night and went over for an unscheduled visit, I must have moved too fast, Harry was very busy with a toy and I unintentionally snuck up on her and startled her. She screamed, AAACK right in my face, very loudly, several times to show her displeasure. I did feel bad, she forgave me after a couple of hours and a lot of apologies.
