BaxtersMom Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 What kind of training course was this? Sounds wierd to me. I hadn't heard this one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaM Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The concept of having a bird see another bird (or you) eat a new food is successful with some birds. However, I would not presume to know what the motivation of a bird is to do or not do anything (other than obvious rewards). To say they are scared it will kill them is taking some pretty big liberties in my opinion. No one can possibly know what they are thinking and should not presume to know. Just my opinion. Lisa Dennisandholly: I'm really glad you found this site. I certainly don't presume to know everything about these wonderful parrots, but I don't get a good feeling about your breeder or the people who ran the training course you took. I hope you take the multitude of opinions and ideas you'll find here and figure out what makes sense to you and works for you. Parrots are as individual as people so in many cases generalizations just don't apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I agree with Lisa on this one. It sounds to me like your breeder and the training course you spoke of are taking some big liberties in some of the things they state and to suggest that seeds are the only thing need (from reading your other post) is really not good advice at all and your precious grey may suffer because of it. I am so glad you joined the website though. This is a great place to learn alot through the experience of other grey owners. There are lots of misconceptions everywhere about greys and that's what makes this forum so helpful. We talk about a big variety of subjects, share fund stories and ask for advice when we need it. We are all here to help one another. I know it was a huge help to me when I first brought Baxter home and both of us are doing great with the help of all the members here. I really learned alot and still learn every day. Please read through all the threads we have to offer here. There is some great info on here pertaining to our greys and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
