Flying Cockatiel and My Statues

[ChunkyZergling]

My cockatiel lives in my room and flies around alone by himself in the room. Other than caging him or changing how I display my statues, any ideas to discourage him from going near them and then possibly chewing them (he likes chewing things).

And here we go.............

So that's what happened to that Predator bust? I was wondering WTH??

This works great with birds.

I prefer charcoal for flavor but you could always go with a wood, maybe hickory?

This question should've been asked in the stupid questions thread.

Here is your answer.......have his wings clipped, keep him in his cage, give him away or open a window.

There....close the thread. You have your answers.

Thank you Ween. I am looking for some real answers though. I use to know about positive and negative reinforcement but I forgot. Perhaps someone knows something using those two things to train him. I'd personally like to electrify the statues but that's impossible. It'd work brilliantly.

I've always been frisky, darlin'

Have you read this guy's threads? I'm on to him.

Yeah! Cook him! Then use Deckard's BBQ on him! YUM!

sometimes you have to make a choice and live with the consequences. Otherwise, get the bird stuffed and mounted.

I soaked some apple wood chips and sprinkled them on the charcoal and man did those ribs turn out great. Lots of flavors.

Try the cockatiel. It's on the menu now. YUM!

I would buy a bird slapping machine.

 

[ChunkyZergling]

This thread has been very informative and helpful, thank you all!

Tomorrow I will barbaque Sparky and eat his breasts with some barbaque sauce. The answer to my problem was so obvious I don't know how I missed it.

 

[devilof76]

Get a cat.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

get rid of the bird

i literally busted out laughing in the office today upon reading this.

Get a cat.

That would only make things worse.
I suggest putting everything in cases. It is the only practical answer.

Electrify the statues BEFORE you would consider glass or lexan cases???
With that attitude, maybe another stuffed bird in the room to act as a warning to all birds who would touch the statues. The only question is would the message get across to the bird successfully?

Worse for whom? Cats love cockatiel.
