One of my obedience students has a 6mos old miniature poodle.? She also has a Macaw.? The bird is not caged and wanders around the apartment.? The bird recently became very agitated for about a week or so.? Then she got really calm.? My student had the bird at her mother's house on Sunday and her Mom commented on how calm she's become, thinking she may be getting sick.? They put her in the living room where they could keep an eye on her.? Turns out she's not sick at all.? As they watched her, she quietly called the puppy over to her.? The puppy stands as close as she can to the perch with her front feet on the base.? The bird?coos at her and promptly regurgitates her food?for the puppy.? The bird has a baby!? LOL! I have no clue how to train a bird so she's on her own getting that behavior to stop, LOL!
