@parrotrescue Cecil the #cockatoo makes a good puppet master #parrot. This is one of our games together but I don’t suggest anyone do this without a little #training in applied behavior analysis. #Rescue #parrots often need much training because the humans who had them were completely ignorant of what they are. I have learned a lot but there is always more to know. They are not mammals. They are #avians. For example, #dominance is not part of the world. #Territoriality is.
