View Full Version : When they're quiet they're probably up to something :)

We took Casper out in the backpack yesterday, down to the boat so I could do some odd jobs. Casper was excited on the way in the car, often asking if we were "all right?" and telling us to "come on".
On the boat he spent the whole time loose in the cockpit, being admired by people passing by on the pontoon, ignoring the stuff we brought along to keep him amused, helping himself to our cornchips and chilling.
He was quiet in the car on the way home and I wrongly assumed that he was worn out after all the fresh air and entertainment. When we opened the backpack at home to let him out we realised he had been busy trying to remove all the large eyelets. Most were just peeled back at the edges but the one he had removed I have replaced with a heavy duty sailmakers brass eyelet.
I will wait for him to remove the others before replacing them as he knows best how to get them off.

I have pictures on my iphone but it is evil and is not intuitive on uploading. There should be college courses or evening classes we could sign up for. It frustrates me so much that I rarely use it and always forget to charge it up. Its a downwards spiral of doom.

100 % agree! That's my Bella. When I can't hear or see her, she is probably into the stash of treats or looking for an electrical cord to chew.

Does Casper get into "quiet" mischief at home?

Oh yes, he has just had a talking to about chewing M's bra straps through her outer garments.

Talking to: place your bird on a finger so that you are face to face. Start off by saying "Now then, look at me when I am talking to you", then "What do you think you were doing wrong?" Then go on to describe the misdeed and explain why it is a problem.
Your bird will take all this in, fully understand it, and then carry on, ignoring all that you have just told it. :)
