ADORABLE Parrot Throws Temper Tantrum

Thirston can be really bad sometimes by throwing a temper tantrum and chewing things that he knows better than to chew. He always tries to blame the kitties
by ignoring me and refusing to look at me. If you like this video leave me a comment and tell me what you like or didn’t like
 🙏🏻❤️thumbs up would make Thirston smile.

As a person who has had parrots, and Greys in particular, for three decades, I can confirm that there are, of course, ZERO temper tantrums involved here. The actual culprit is in the mirror. Parrots are hardwired to break things apart since in the wild this is how they spend the entire day foraging for food. Even when they are well fed this is the activity they are programmed to enjoy. You MUST give them stuff to break up or they will find it for themselves. It depends on the bird’s individual tastes to some degree, but cheap and entertaining alternatives are telephone books, paper bags, and cardboard boxes. It can be a paradox, especially if you tend to anthropomorphize, that an animal that is SO smart, and capable of such nuanced social interactions, can be entertained for hours on end by slowly turning a telephone book into confetti, but that is the REAL Mother Nature for you. They can be taught to do amazing things, but they can never be taught to distinguish between the things you think are special and/or valuable, and their personal toys. If you haven’t learned this beforehand they will teach you the hard way.

Love it! So true!

It's like asking a cat not to scratch up the furniture.

[@thirstonhowellthebird]

His reaction though is priceless like he totally knows he wasn’t supposed to do that and ignores me and won’t look at me as if I don’t exist. They are the best birds on the planet.

Is the 🐕 real ,please ? I ask because it hasn't blinked once !

[@joespagettio6505]

No. Just really afraid if he moves the bird will attack him.

[@thirstonhowellthebird]
