Encouraging Table Manners

I am happy to report that “Sleepy” (the bird) is “Sweepy” no more. She quit sweeping aside seeds after some training (reinforcing good habits, penalising bad behaviour).

Our bird-feeding habits changed a lot. Today “Bot” (Bottle) came as early as 6AM and last night some bird came after 8PM, which is highly unusual for mid-August.

This is more essential this year due to the drought.
