Janfromboone Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 We hire someone to come to do the weed eating and lawn mowing at our house. I was home the other day when they came and watched Tobie freak out. He was so nervous he jumped off the cage and ran all over the house looking for me or a place to hide. He finally settled on my shoulder but was trembling and didn't stop until they turned off their machines. I didn't have any idea he was reacting like this. Anyone else have this problem?
judygram Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Oh yes Jan, when my hubby has the lawn mower or the weed eater running and comes close to the house Josey freaks a little too, anything out of the normal and a lawnmower or weedeater is not something that is used every day. She reacted pretty much the same way as Tobie.
she Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 NO,the lawn mower is one of the few things Charlie does not mind.I often cut the grass while he is outside with me in the aviary.
casper Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I dont have anyone to do the garden but the birds freak when the window cleaners come round. Last time they came early and I was still in bed! I had to race downstairs in my pj's:laugh:
Joolesgreyuk Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Caroline, I bet the window cleaners liked that. I usually know when mine are coming and draw the curtains but even that makes Beau nervous. Our birds' hearing is amazin'!
she Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Charlie is one mixed up bird,he does not mind the window cleaner.
JillyBeanz Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Window cleaners and gardeners - you lot are blessed!! :laugh: The window cleaners come once, charge some stupid amount and we never see them again!! Harvey's scared of nothing! He sits on the hoover when I'm doing the living room! I'm going to rename him "Rocky"!!! :laugh:
SchroedersJen Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Schroeder freaks out when my step brother farts. Just my step brother. he has loud "party farts" and likes to share them during family dinners. Mom should smack him. Schroeder will fly across the room and try to land on the closet available female. This is usually cuz us girls will say stuff like "awwwwwwww, poor little Muffins" and give him treats and snuggles. the guys just laugh at him. Perhaps my husband and I need to start eating more beans...
Janfromboone Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 Bodily noises only give Tobie more material to work with on his sound effects. Here is a video.
danmcq Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Hahahahahahah Jan! Love that Tobie and all the videos. :-)
lovethatgrey Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Poor Tobie! The lawn mower and LOUD constructions seems to stress out Emma too. I think she doesn't know what to make of it.{Feel-good-00020114}
SchroedersJen Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Greyt videos Jan (I watched a binch of em) Thanks for sharing!
Tycos_mom Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I loved that video of Tobie so cute Tobie's got a red butt hehehehe
dhorje Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 My Grey is afraid of those guys who sweep the road. I would take a detour when I met them on the street.
