Ignoring the Loudest Noises I've Ever Heard

It's hard to ignore shrieking at 50,000 decibels (give or take). One thing I've noticed that the boys simply cannot abide is being ignored while I'm in the room. They're used to having their own room on the side of the house, which means every time someone entered the room it was specifically to pay attention to them. Obviously this is a problem because someday I'm going to live in a house where they'll be hanging out with the whole family.... who knows, their cages may even be in the kitchen/dining room/living room/somewhere where the main thoroughfare occurs. They're going to have to get used to people walking by them and not showering them with attention.

So I have begun setting my plan to break them of this habit into motion. I'm going to sit in their room, and watch Netflix. I'm going to ignore them completely. And I'm going to wear ear plugs.

What's that you say? "BEEP CA CAAWW RAWRRR?" I didn't catch it because of my awesome ear plugs.

Reactions have been pretty hilarious.  It's been hard to sit here and listen to all their crazy squawks, beeps, screams, and dinosaur noises without just collapsing in a fit of laughter. I had to catch this video of Loki while looking the other way and biting my lip. He was not amused. Despite the fact that I think this plan is going to take months, maybe YEARS to implement, I think it will ultimately work.

  1. Ooohhhh birdies. Your momma loves you. Just BE QUIET for a bit lol.

    You could try *only* giving them attention when they are quiet for a time. Ignore them the rest of the time. It works with dogs and horses lol
