itsjustnikki Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) As I am typing this Tango is screaming incessantly. I think he has started to taunt me now. He will now quiet down and say good boy when I ignore him, and when I start to praise him he starts to scream again. He is too smart for his own good. He knows what is going on and is trying to play the system. I am not letting him get away with it this time. He gives up after a while and finds something in his cage to entertain himself or a way to get to where he wants to be without me or my boyfriend picking him up. I know its only 3 days, but I think he's catching on! Edit: I wish I had one of those web cam things so I could show everyone how much of a little brat he can be. But I just keep ignoring now and he eventually stops screaming. Edited March 4, 2013 by itsjustnikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAGonite Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Wow! Seems like the theme to these bad behaviors is 'patience, patience patience' - you have a lot of it! Good Luck and keep us posted on your progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Oh they can be sooo bratty! Patience DOES payoff! I promise. You will go thru biting, establishing parenthood, terrible two's, hating the rest of the family. Stick to your guns, be patient, establish behavioral guidelines, you will find yourself with the most adorable grey, who loves everyone. We got there at age 4, Sophie adopted at age two.My kids are both at college now. Call frequently.... I get a quick " Hi mom! I'm good! Can I talk to Sophie? LOL! I'm thrilled! My goals and expectations for her are beyond what I thought I could ever expect. She is one happy grey who thinks the world revolves around her. Yes... it does.

Timbersmom Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Most of us have our own brats, so we believe you! Glad to hear you are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel though. Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 He gives up after a while and finds something in his cage to entertain himself or a way to get to where he wants to be without me or my boyfriend picking him up. This is a fantastic sign!!!!! I have no doubt that he's catching on. You and your boyfriend are doing a great job and setting up a future where you all can enjoy each others company, and Tango can learn to entertain himself. Keep up the fantastic work!

chezron Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I know it is only march in Rhode island, but as soon as the weather warms up you might try taking Tango out in the sunshine (in his cage). For some reason regular sunshine acts like birdie valium for my guys. Try it and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
