Taking you through spending the day with Zip (through the last few videos). Doing normal, every day tasks with your bird helps desensitize them to things they will likely encounter often. I also find social eating helps birds try new foods, too. Zip did way better than I expected, what did you think? What are some daily tasks you include your bird in?

Zip is so cute, but need desensitization ✌🏼

"Cooking With Zip" where Zip hates everything but keeps picking it up and spitting it out. I'd watch that show.

You mentioned that you weren't making any adjustments while chopping. Zip didn't seem bothered by the sound of the chopping. She definitely showed a lot of curiosity. In school, a student who is curious, is likely to learn as a result of that curiosity. I believe this was true for Zip. Zip was not fearful about approaching the bowl to try nibbles of the carrots and the celery. I also noticed that when you walked away a couple of times, she didn't become anxious. She was engaged in her exploration. (I realize that it was a short time that you were away.) Totally unrelated, I love your sweater. 😊

I let mine accompany when I’m cleaning up the kitchen and doing other things that don’t involve having the stove on. Mine are super nosy. Haven’t been able to get them used to the Swiffer duster… they still think it’s some demented, misshapen yellow demon that’s out to get them, even after 5 years…

Birds do seem to love "helping" prepare food. Maybe it feels like foraging with a flock mate.

My bird does everything with me, except for cooking. She's a nosey Goffins, and has to be a part of whatever is going on around our house. :).

I love watching the conicals of Zip. Lol where is Zoom? Did he find a new home.

During this time I had only brought back Zip because of her reaction to the heat out at the aviary so Zoom was still outside in the aviary at my folks property during this time.

My Goffin's has to be involved in EVERYTHING. She particularly is interested in screens - my phone, my laptop, my tablet.
