We have 2 African Grey parrots in addition to the 2 dogs and cat. Our second dog is a 2 year old German Shepherd with tons of energy. He is fascinated by the parrots.
Well, as of this morning the parrots have figured out how to leverage that fascination into entertainment for themselves. They will go to the bottom of the cage and taunt the dog by hopping around and flapping there wings a little. The dog then charges the cage, which results in me barking at the dog to stop charging cage.
The Greys did this 3 times in quick succession this morning. The Wife and I both realized the Grey’s manipulations after the second time.
Until I can get the dog to stop responding to their taunts, the Greys will continue to get their entertainment.
