Do you fight around your birds?

We all know sometimes birds will squabble or even actually fight. But what about their human keepers? Do you lose your cool in front of your fids? How do you notice it effects them? Thanks for sharing.

I guess we are lucky in our household for we don't fight with each other ever... I had way to much of that with my ex husband. Hence why he is the ex.

When my fiance and I fight Hermes will start screaming. Usually we will both stop yelling so that we don't cause him to get worked up and then we talk out the problem. Hermes has ended many fights in our household... he is an integral and important member of the family, the little peace-maker! :-)

If I raise my voice, Maxie has my back. She flares her feathers and gets ready for a bite of whomever she thinks I am mad at.

Stella our CAG will start cussing. She didn't learn that here. lol

I always end up laughing at the birds. I am the only one they help. lol

Anyone else gets mad and Maxie still wants to bite them. Stella just tells them to "shut up". Sometimes Stella shoots them with her imaginary gun. keepow!

Crazy funny birds!!! LOL

When we "fight" our bare eyed tells us to go lay down & be good. Sometimes he tells us its time to go outside to potty! The rest of the birds fall silent - its sad really!

When my boyfriend and I "fight" (mainly play fight cos it's funny, and I mean with words) Matches starts flying and screaming, and beetle runs up and down squeaking. We stop then even though we're not really fighting lol.

All my birds are rehomes. They came here knowing certain words we do not speak here. Baggage I guess. We love them anyway.

Whenever there is an argument in the house Jenny seems to start squawking to try and compete with our voices.

I hate to say it but when my mom comes over we usually end up fighting. Zeke and Sophie are the only one's who react. Zeke will start screaming and Sophie just gets really clingy when I come back in the room. I try not to because I feel bad but she will not stop until we fight. And it has to be an all out fight since she takes all her anger out on me. Zeke will not go anywhere near my mom anymore either. I try to keep it to as much of a minimum as I can though. And everyone always gets lots of love and snuggles when she leaves cuz I feel bad and it makes me feel better.
