And anyone that tells you "when it's dry, it brushes off like chalk" is talking out of the back of their neck........why do you have to use the ****in jetwash in your mews.....

Still, on a serious note, when you want to get it fit, you could just take it down to the local park and throw a ball or stick for it to bring back.....
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:









I meant the owl, not the Essex bird........ :lol: :lol: :lol:

[BlackHawke]

[BlackHawke]

[The Late Lord Lucan]

still think its a perfectly good question your not gonna get to me!! i had a friend whos parrot used to go back to its perch n do it!!

Now you ARE being silly, how can you compare the superior intelligence of a parrot to an Essex bird?

Oops, I mean OWL


:lol: :lol: :lol:

[BlackHawke]

not gonna rise to it! nope! i will not let anyone slag off essex girls!! thats job is reserved for the essex guys!! coz we have to live with em! :(

[Mary Quite Contrary]

Parrots can be house trained quite easily so.........................
................... are owls as intelligent , if they are then maybe??????????????

[BlackHawke]

thankyou someone takin this a little more seriously!!lol reading the other post about owls being stupid, i think some people rekon they are some don't. but is it a question of behaviourism based on reward??????

they fly to the fist for a reward, do other tasks for a reward.

i was pickin on owls but i suppose it dont matter wot BOP it is

[Harris.Hawk]

Its bad enough getting them to hop to the ****in fist, let alone shxt in the right place!! :D

[Bubo]

hahahahahahahahahaha ok i'm gonna dare reply to this. though i am not sure it was training or just pure coincidence. a guy here has a boobook living with him constantly in the house. but the boobook has two preferred posts and apparently he says he just poops there. :shock:

I personally can not say if this is true or not cos i have never been there. but you all know just how clever kadabra is :P dont you! :twisted: well he also has four preferred posts in the house and still manages to **** everywhere his fluffy feather rump is :evil: so no i dont think you can train them. i cant imagine how one could get them to associate a reward with their bowel movement :shock:

[Claire]

you might be luck you might not lol I had a harris in my lounge for a few weeks and although at certain times she was free in the room she only ever s**t when she was on her bow perch. I think that was really just luck though lol

[BlackHawke]

at least it got a little bit of discussion goin

[Spudy]

right blackie you know as we talk my wife nick just got a ee owl and he only sh*ts when hes on either the bow or his converted pickaxe handel lol and hes in the room most nights so i just put a two foot square piace of carpet under his bow in the room and he goes there mate
....spud

[UKJay's Nursey]

well Bo our Bengal is currently in training indoors.. he has a perch and a tree stump in the corner of our living room with an old piece of carpet underneath,. he will quite happilly sit there during day un tethered and just watch us in and out dont even bother with our dog, of an evening he is more inquistive and will fly from one side of living room to other and hop down on the floor nose around then go back to his perch. We have had a couple of minor poo accidents other than that he will poo from his perch/stump on to the old carpet and paper..

[Coedhirion]

Trouble is I think it was a Gos, they measured, could eject it 20ft. so you would have to teach the bird to sit a heck of a long way from the 'catty litter' tray !! :lol: :lol: nice idea tho.
