The college Mews VOL. XL, NO. 11 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1943 Copyr.tM. rrn.1. � of PRICE 10 CEN 4TS Weak Plot Redeemed by Good Acting In Players Club's 'Letters to Lucerne' Schoolgirl Tale Reflecting International Strife Presented Specially contributed by Virginia Grace, '44 The translation of world conflicts into their directly human elements was the task of the Players Clubs of Bryn Mawr and Haverford in the staging of "Letters to Lucerne" on December 3 and 4 in Goodhart Hall under the direction of N. Richard Nusbaum. The diverging character and converging destinies of five ma- jor nations at the outbreak of war form the raw material out of which Fritz Rotter and Allen Vincent have created their drama. The playj"is a curious combination of simple fact and momentous impli- cations. The immediate problem, that of a group of girls of various nationalities learning to readjust their relationships under the strain of war, acts as a mechanism for the depiction of greater issues pending in the Europe outside neu- tral Switzerland, and it is from this fund of threatening evil that the comparatively slight action of the play draws its strength. Flashes from the major warring cities of Europe are brought to the stage by the device of letters from home. In regard, however, to the actu- al effectiveness of the dramatic situation, one feels that its poten- tialities are not entirely realized. Much of the action seems insuffici- ently motivated, probably because the requisite tension is not con- stantly sustained�a defect of the script more than the acting. There are a few truly gripping moments, more frequent in the latter half of the play, and carried in particular by Kate Rand, giving a splendidly convincing version of Ema, the Continued on Page 5 German Club to Give Annual Xmas Pageant The German Club will present its Christmas play on Friday, De- cember 10th, in the Common Room. Following the style of Na- tivity pageants in Germany dur- ing the fifteenth century, it has been adapted from a folk play by Otto Falckenberg who used various medieval sources. Actually a mix- ture of narrative verse and drama, it is marked by extreme simplicity and beauty of language. After a prologue by the evan- gelist, Barbara Bennett, the first scene opens with Joseph, Caroline Manning, and Maria, Mary Stuart Blakeley, coming to the Inn for the night. The inn-keeper is play- ed by Ruth Yudizky and his wife, by Charlote Binger. In the second scene the angel, Virginia Grace, appears to the three shepherds, Margaret Urban, Evaline Hitz, and Maryalice Wool- ever. In the latter scenes, por- traying the adoration, Barbara Clark, Elizabeth Corkran, and Janet Hoopes take the parts of the three kings. Between the acts a chorus "of about ten people will sing old German Christmas carols. Miss Cohn and Hilde Richard are di- recting the play, and Margaret Spencer is in charge of the music. After the play there will be re- freshments and Christmas carol- ing in the German House for ev- eryone. Calendar Friday, December 10 German Club Party, Common Room, 8:00 p. m.

Looking more like a country club than a dor- mitory at its dance on Saturday night, it had a chance to prove its sophistication when fire broke out in its lower regions. At approximately 12:00 o'clock, smoke, thick, swirling smoke, fill- ed the corridors of the north end of the building. The dancers smelled this smoke; they couldn't help it. They were, however, completely unperturbed by the whole thing. They went out in the hall, coughed violently, said "My, there must be a fire some- where," and went back to the rhumba, with their eyes stinging madly. Meanwhile there was a fire somewhere, with flames licking the ceiling, as the story has it. There is great dissention among loyal Rhoads scholars as to who first discovered the blaze, but one fatigued female started out to powder her nose but found she couldn't see her way to her room. Highly annoyed and slightly pale, she approached the warden with her hands quivering and whisper- ed, "D-d-don't get worried, but there's a fire somewhere." From there on, all was efficient and calm with the Navy, the Ma- rines, Mr. Broughton and a young man in tails with two fire extin- guishers taking over. Tracing the smoke that appeared to come up through the vents from floor to floor, they arrived at a small room in the basement, variously called the Refuse room and the lit* The room had canvas bag which held a large accumulation of papers, old Cosmopolitans and general trash that came from the floors above through a chute. All it contained now was smoke and flame. Armed to the teeth with fire extinguishers, the Marines (There is some contention as to whether they were Army, Navy, or Marines or all three . . .) wad- ed in and got the situation well in hand, aided by maids and porters who had been smoked out of their quarters by the blaze.

The lecture will stress the relations between the Kuomin- tang and the Eighth Route Arm- ies. Miss Smedley has worked for the last twelve years as a war correspondent, author, lecturer and volunteer in the Chinese Red Cross Medical Corps in war zones of China. Her latest book, Battle Hymn of China, has just been pub- lished. "To me the problems, strength and weakness of China seemed to be those of the whole world." In these words Miss Smedley sums up her feeling toward the Chinese masses, with whom she has iden- tified herself for most of the last seven years. Her writing has been described as a series of case, studies of the fissure in Chini^Ji society. Work in China Miss Smedley first went to China in 1929 as a correspondent for a German newspaper. Hitler's rise to power in Germany ended that career, and from 1938 to 1942, when her health failed, she was special correspondent for the Manchester Guardian. She has lived with the Chinese armies in the field as Field Representative of the Chinese Red Cross, work- ing actively for their help at the time when America wanted ap- peasement. She is one of the six Americans marked for assassina- tion by Japanese secret service as active belligerents in China's war. Miss Smedley's aim in Battle Hymn of China is to get a picture of China in all its force. It is the fourth of her series of works on China. The other volumes are Chinese Destinies, China's Red Army Marches, and China Fights Back. Her autobiography, Daugh- ter of the Earth, has been pub- lished in thirteen language- French Club to Give Annual Nativity Play The French Club will present its annual nativity play in the Music Room of Wyndham on Sat- urday, December 11th at 8 o'clock. The same medieval play is repro- duced each year in much the same way that it would have been giv- en during the Middles Ages. The medieval atmosphere is preserv- ed in the costumes, lines, and mu- sic, as well as by the one-scene dramatic technique in which all the actors are grouped on the stage throughout the play. Florence Senger is the director of the play and Frances Parrish is in charge of costumes. The cast Continued on Page 5 Final Elections for College Treasurer to be Held Thursday Enid Littwin, Jeanne-Marie Lee, Margaret Bloomfield, and Elizabeth Ann Mercer, members of� the Junior class, have been nominated by the Undergraduate Council and the Junior class for the office of common treasurer. The primary election by the col- lege will be held Thursday noon, and the final election will be held Thursday night. The common treasurer will re- place the former Undergraduate, War Alliance, Self-Government, and League treasurers in an at- tempt to unify the work of the four organizations. The position will entail work with very large sums of money. "It is important," stated Kath- erine Tappen, president of the Undergraduate Council, "that we have an efficient, clear-headed or- ganizer in this position because on her depends the success of the plan and hers is the original res- ponsibility." Enid Littwin Enid Littwin worked last year on the committee for the Sopho- more Carnival. She is a member of the Glee Club and was in "Pa- tience" two years ago.

The stool guaiac test looks for hidden (occult) blood in a stool sample. It can find blood even if you cannot see it yourself.
It is the most common type of fecal occult blood test (FOBT).
Guaiac smear test; Fecal occult blood test - guaiac smear; Stool occult blood test - guaiac smear
Usually, you collect a small sample of stool at home. Sometimes, a doctor may collect a small amount of stool from you during a rectal examination.
If the test is done at home, you use a test kit. Follow the kit instructions exactly. This ensures accurate results. In brief:
Do not take stool samples from the toilet bowl water. This can cause errors.
For infants and young children wearing diapers, you can line the diaper with plastic wrap. Place the plastic wrap so that it keeps the stool away from any urine. Mixing of urine and stool can spoil the sample.
Some foods can affect test results. Do not eat the following foods for 3 days before the test:
Some medicines may interfere with the test. These include vitamin C, aspirin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen. Ask your doctor or nurse if you need to stop taking these before the test. Never stop or change your medicine without first talking to your health care provider.
The at-home test involves a normal bowel movement. There is no discomfort.
You may have some discomfort if the stool is collected during a rectal exam.
This test detects blood in the digestive tract. It may be done if:
A negative test result means that there is no blood in the stool.
Abnormal results may be due to problems that cause bleeding in the stomach or intestinal tract, including:
Other causes of positive test may include:
Abnormal tests require follow-up with your doctor. In many cases, no explanation for the abnormal result is found.
There can be false-positive and false-negative results.
Errors are reduced when you follow instructions during collection and avoid certain foods and medicines.

"Best inexpensive Shampoo for Malteses!"
This is the best inexpensive whitening shampoo for malteses! If you have a bad tear stain problem this shampoo isn't going to fix it but it does whiten the coat. I don't dilute mine, it would seem it would be very watery if you did. I have used other cheap whitening shampoos and couldn't see a difference. I will always buy this from now on!
"Really does Whiten!"
We show Samoyeds and Siberians and this is the shampoo we depend on to get them really white for the show ring. It really does whiten and we have tried a lot of others. It also conditions and the dogs smell great too. We usually can only find it at shows so thank you Jeffers for having this product for us!
I use this shampoo on my white standard poodle! She comes out so nice and clean, and smooth! It does not irritate her skin and leaves a nice smell too! Wonderful to see her white, clean and beautiful!! (we live on a ranch, so she gets plenty dirty!)
"Cat Lover"
This is a great product. Not always available in stores. Keeps my white Persian Kitty soft. Her eyes water and this can be used daily as an eye wipe leaving her clean soft and never irritated. She sniffs and nods her head in approval. I think she enjoys the fragrance.

Letters to the Editor - Jan. 18, 2013
Friday, January 18, 2013 Takes exception
To the editor: I take serious exception to Carol Shea-Porter announcing in the Fosters of 1/15 that she is going to "push for new Gun Control measures in Congress for the coming year" There is no Bill. The President has not yet announced his proposals, and yet Shea-Porter has already decided to vote for them? This is outrageous! Perhaps she has forgotten that she works for US, the citizens of New Hampshire? She is supposed to represent the wishes of her constituency, to listen to their concerns and vote as they wish, not make up her mind before a Bill has even been presented! She does not work for the Administration but the People of New Hampshire.
If she votes for this, perhaps a recall petition is in order? About hemp
Same old Carol
In summary, I would like to thank all of you out there who voted to send this person back to Washington last November. While her ideas and eventual votes in Congress will certainly degrade our quality of life and freedoms in New Hampshire, it is at least comforting to know that most of us will suffer those consequences. Obama and Carol say "spread the wealth". What that really means is "spread the pain". Enjoy! What's missing?
A risk assessment that I conducted of a multitenant office building in a major city included the offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The offices were found to be particularly vulnerable in a number of areas. At a meeting to discuss the results of the audit, the special agent in charge of the division told me, "We are in the business of finding ways to get into buildings not in trying to keep people out." Law enforcement and fire officers are not always trained and experienced in security practices and few public safety academies have a security component. This is a discomforting situation.
Clint Rand Frustrated
I realize the weather has to be conducive to repairs but how did Manchester and Nashua correct the problem? Frustration is mounting, something has to be done now rather than later before a pedestrian gets hit or there is a major accident. |

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms typically begin gradually, worsen over time and then resolve, usually within one or two years.
Your risk of developing frozen shoulder increases if you're recovering from a medical condition or procedure that affects the mobility of your arm — such as a stroke or a mastectomy.
Treatment for frozen shoulder involves stretching exercises and, sometimes, the injection of corticosteroids and numbing medications into the joint capsule. In a small percentage of cases, surgery may be needed to loosen the joint capsule so that it can move more freely.
Frozen shoulder typically develops slowly, and in three stages. Each of these stages can last a number of months.
For some people, the pain worsens at night, sometimes disrupting normal sleep patterns.
The bones, ligaments and tendons that make up your shoulder joint are encased in a capsule of connective tissue. Frozen shoulder occurs when this capsule thickens and tightens around the shoulder joint, restricting its movement.
Doctors aren't sure why this happens to some people and not to others, although it's more likely to occur in people who have recently experienced prolonged immobilization of their shoulder, such as after surgery or an arm fracture.
Although the exact cause is unknown, certain factors may increase your risk of developing frozen shoulder.
People 40 and older are more likely to experience frozen shoulder. Most of the people who develop the condition are women.
People who have experienced prolonged immobility or reduced mobility of their shoulder are at higher risk of developing frozen shoulder. Immobility may be the result of many factors, including:
People who have certain medical problems appear to be predisposed to develop frozen shoulder. Examples include:
While you may initially consult your family physician, he or she may refer you to a doctor who specializes in orthopedic medicine.
Before your appointment, you may want to write a list that includes:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
During the physical exam, your doctor may ask you to perform certain actions, to check for pain and evaluate your range of motion. These may include:
Your doctor may also ask you to relax your muscles while he or she moves your arm for you. This test can help distinguish between frozen shoulder and a rotator cuff injury.
Frozen shoulder can usually be diagnosed from signs and symptoms alone. But your doctor may suggest imaging tests — such as X-rays or an MRI — to rule out other structural problems.
Most frozen shoulder treatment involves controlling shoulder pain and preserving as much range of motion in the shoulder as possible.
Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with frozen shoulder. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe stronger pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory drugs.
A physical therapist can teach you stretching exercises to help maintain as much mobility in your shoulder as possible.
Most frozen shoulders get better on their own within 12 to 18 months. For persistent symptoms, your doctor may suggest:
Continue to use the involved shoulder and extremity in as many daily life activities as possible within the limits of your pain and range-of-motion constraints. Applying heat or cold to your shoulder can help relieve pain.
Acupuncture is a procedure that has been used in China for thousands of years. It involves inserting extremely fine needles in your skin at specific points on your body. Typically, the needles remain in place for 15 to 40 minutes. During that time they may be moved or manipulated. Because the needles are hair thin and flexible and are generally inserted superficially, most acupuncture treatments are relatively painless.
A TENS unit delivers a tiny electrical current to key points on a nerve pathway. The current, delivered through electrodes taped to your skin, isn't painful or harmful. It's not known exactly how TENS works, but it's thought that it might stimulate the release of pain-inhibiting molecules (endorphins) or block pain fibers that carry pain impulses.
One of the most common causes of frozen shoulder is the immobility that may result during recovery from a shoulder injury, broken arm or a stroke. If you've had an injury that makes it difficult to move your shoulder, talk to your doctor about what exercises would be best to maintain the range of motion in your shoulder joint.

Australia did a lot more in both world wars then the usa did & history shows that ....
There would be a war memorial dedicated to Australia in just about every country in the world.
Not the case with the usa who barley fought in either world war.
I can't say i can think of many war memorials dedicated to the USA for their involvement in ww1 or ww2.
As the usa was absent from ww1 almost entirely & from ww2 for just as long.
The US involvement was minimal .......

Pyloroplasty is surgery to widen the opening in the lower part of the stomach (pylorus) so that stomach contents can empty into the small intestine (duodenum ).
The pylorus is a thick, muscular area. When it thickens, food cannot pass through.
The surgery is done while you are under general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free).
The surgeon makes a cut in the belly area. If the surgery is done using a laparoscope, three smaller cuts are made instead.
The surgeon cuts through some of the thickened muscle so it becomes wider.
The cut is then closed in a way that keeps the pylorus open. This allows the stomach to empty.
The surgery usually takes 1 - 2 hours.
Pyloroplasty is used to treat complications in patients with peptic ulcers or other stomach problems that cause a blockage of the stomach opening.
Risks of anesthesia include:
Risks of any surgery include:
Risks of this procedure:
Most patients recover quickly and completely. The average hospital stay is 2 - 3 days. Most patients can slowly begin a regular diet in a few weeks.
After surgery, the health care team will monitor your breathing, blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate. Most patients can go home within 24 hours.

After four years of blogging, this is my last blog. I've loved being able to write on behalf of Butler students, and I couldn't have imagined a better way to leave my mark on the University. First off, I have a few groups to thank…
- The Office of Admission – Thank you for trusting us to write about our Butler experiences completely on our own. It was empowering, and I am so glad that I had the chance to be a part of the Admissions process in some way.
- The College of Business – Thanks for giving me a great academic experience at Butler, and for giving me all the tools I need to go out into the real world.
- The Butler Community – Thank you for just being all around wonderful. I loved blogging for the past few years mostly because I had such great things to say about my Butler experience – which is all because of the community of people who make Butler what it is.
Next, I thought I would touch back on a few of my favorite things from my blogging past.
- My freshman dorm room. I made this video when I lived in Schwitzer, and I've always loved meeting people who watched it before they came to Butler. Usually, it takes people a few months to realize that it was me….even one of my roommates from this year watched it before she came to Butler, and didn't make the connection for awhile!
- Greek Life/Recruitment posts. I loved being Greek at Butler…and one of the only things that I liked more than being Greek was blogging about being Greek. So…I wrote an awful lot of posts about Greek Life and Recruitment…naturally.
- Blogging about whatever was happening in my life. From being a 500 Festival Princess, to working at Vera Bradley, my room's ant infestation, and going on Spring Break, I've had a lot going on over the last few years, and my blog was the perfect place to showcase a little bit of everything.
Finally, a big thanks to everyone who actually reads this. I hope that you've enjoyed reading about my college experience, because I sure have loved writing all about it. Keep reading the Butler blogs – because they show a side of student life that people don't always see, and be sure to visit Butler if you ever get the chance. Right now campus is absolutely perfect – so just make it happen! It's been a great four years, Butler… thanks for being the best home away from home that I could have asked for!

To understand this better perhaps I should elaborate on what I mean by "respect". I interpret this as showing consideration for what an animal is telling me with its body language. For example if my close proximity to an animal is creating the slightest fear response or hint of aggressive behavior I recognize it and acknowledge it. I then do whatever I can, which may include backing away, to put that animal at ease.
Sometimes humans have an inclination to suggest that whatever activity they are doing is "no big deal" or should not be bothersome to their parrot and forge ahead, regardless of what their bird's body language is saying. There are countless times I have heard someone say "Oh, he doesn't really mind. Go ahead." or "He is just being stubborn. Make him step up." or "It's just a bluff. He isn't really aggressive." Ouch. Those are painful words to a positive reinforcement trainers ears. There is an implication in those statements that I should ignore what the bird's body language is telling me. Even if that body language is saying "No! Stop it. I don't like what you are doing."
Why should a parrot owner care about respecting their bird's body language? Because it is a critical element in successfully addressing biting behavior. I would surmise that most people do not want to get bit by a parrot. I am certainly one who falls into that category. This is when being a wimp works to my advantage. I am not willing to get too close to a bird until it gives me body language that indicates comfort. Certainly this is step one in avoiding a bite. My next goal is usually to associate something of value with my presence. This may mean offering food treats from my hand, a spoon or a bowl. It may also include offering toys or enrichment, head scratches or praise. It all depends on what the parrot shows a preference for. By pairing a preferred item or experience with my presence, hopefully I will gain some value to the parrot. If I am successful I usually start to see a parrot whose body language indicates he is anticipating more "good stuff" coming from me. Woohoo! At this point not only does the parrot seem to be engaged, but I am usually also beginning to feel more confident and trusting of the bird.
The process described above usually happens before a request for the behavior of "step up" is even considered. This is mainly because I am not comfortable placing my hand in front of a bird with whom I have not had the chance to build up some trust. (See the article "Training your New Parrot. Where to Begin?" in Good Bird Magazine Vol 2 Issue 4 for more suggestions on interacting with a parrot for the first time)
Sadly in the companion parrot community I see so many parrots that show fear responses or aggressive behavior towards hands. Because of this when I do bring my hand to a bird for the step up behavior it is done slowly and carefully. All the while I am paying close attention to the bird's body language and looking for a bird who is at ease before proceeding. All these intricacies help me avoid creating a situation in which a parrot may want to bite.
When Birds Bite
Shoot. I messed up. Either I misread the bird's body language or I asked for too much, or maybe I simply don't know what happened just yet. But I got bit. Now what? This is a question that is often posed to me. "What do you do when the bird bites?" If unfortunately a caregiver does get bit, the first immediate response in my opinion is to detach the bird from the person. If the bird is holding on, usually a thumb and forefinger can be placed on the top part of the beak to pry the parrot off of whatever is in their mouth. Other strategies can include redirecting the parrots attention, and simply putting the bird down in the nearest available safe location (perch, cage, couch, table, playstand, etc.)
A bite can be very painful and by all means I do not recommend holding steady while a bird chomps away. This is the erroneous idea that by taking the bite the caregiver will teach the bird that biting has no effect. In truth there can be other reinforcers that maintain that behavior over which we have no control. For example grinding away on flesh may provide a stimulating tactile sensation to the bird. The only way to remove that reinforcer is for the bird to not have human flesh in its beak.
Another question often presented to me is "How do you let the parrot know what he did was wrong?" I must admit this question makes me cringe a bit. This is because I see it as a request for approval to use aversives to punish a bird for biting. In reality in most cases aversive punishment would not be the strategy of choice to address biting. The primary goal would have been to avoid creating the situation in which the parrot would be inclined to bite in the first place. This may mean teaching the bird what to do instead of what not to do. It may also mean making antecedent changes to facilitate success for the parrot. There are many pathways that can lead to a non biting outcome had they been considered. All of which do not involve an unpleasant experience to teach the bird to do something other than bite.
For me if a parrot bites I do nothing than more than make sure the bird is no longer on me. This gives me time to pause and think about what I could have done differently to avoid the situation. It also forces me to make a mental note of what circumstances created the aggressive response. It also gives me time to deal with any emotional fall out I may experience from being bit. Sometimes our feelings are hurt when an animal we love responds with aggressive behavior. If I am to focus on building trust with a parrot, the last thing I want to do is to react in a manner that the bird would find unpleasant. This means I do not try to punish the parrot by shaking or dropping my hand, yelling "no", waving a finger in his face, or flicking his beak. All of these would very likely damage my efforts to build a successful relationship with the parrot.
At a recent conference I overheard a conversation in which it was whispered "I bet she never gets bit." In truth I can't say it never happens, but it is extremely rare. It is certainly not from a lack of interacting with parrots. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to meet 100's of new animals each year. However with each animal I am careful to read body language and to do my best to build a relationship based on trust. I take advantage of any positive reinforcers the animal likes and use these to help increase my worth to my training subject. I am happy to report it is not magic, nor does it take any super powers, or "whispering" techniques. Anyone can have a successful bite free relationship with a parrot when they give their parrot the same respect they would give a lion.

Great article! Thank you.
- December 15, 2012 at 9:37 AM
What about when bites are reinforced and rewarded with laughter and giggling? I realize the obvious first step of Not laughing or giggling; But what to do next, to break a habit that's already set?
And Thank you, Barbara, for all your valuable, experienced based advice! - December 15, 2012 at 9:46 AM
My Yellow nape likes to "chew" on me like a puppy and it can be quite painful. I'm at a loss what to do.
- December 15, 2012 at 10:51 AM
I have found, too, that when my Meyers Parrot bites, if there is screaming and yelling, it makes his response worse. If I respond with, "Shhh. It's okay", in a calm, quiet voice, he is a lot more likely to let go and calm down.

Once the bird has bit you ....basically your moment has past. I personally would get my hand out of the birds mouth as quickly and as gently as possible and think about what I could differently to not get to that point. Taking the bite wont get you the results you want. As the article mentions there are other things about biting that are reinforcing that you have no control over. You are always better off to avoid the bite than deal with it after the fact.

- Barbara Heidenreich said...
Chewing out of curiosity or for enrichment can be painful so yes you do want to be prepared for how to address that. My suggestions is to use a time out....i.e remove your hands from the play activity for a few seconds when play gets too rough. Resume as long as play is gentle. I also recommend having acceptable items on hand for chewing during playtime. More about this in my book The Parrot Problem Solver. It is all about biting and anything we might consider aggressive behavior. http://www.goodbirdinc.com/parrot-store.html

Sometimes there is no recognizable body language and I feel I have been "psyched". My 10 year old B&G will reach down to take a treat from my hand but then suddenly bite me instead. This is very infrequent behavior but I always walk away wondering why. She, with 4 other parrots spend their day in an enclosed 300 sq ft aviary and all are fully flighted. I interact with them numerous times through out the day and they are accustomed to being handled...if they want to be. Reading body language is so important but even after 10 years I sometimes do not see it.
- December 16, 2012 at 2:16 PM
- Barbara Heidenreich said...
Depending on a bird's past history they can learn to abandon the subtle signals and go straight for the bite. One thing that helps is being very careful every time you are in a sitatuation in which the bird has bitten in the past. Since you have described a scenario in which it has occurred more than once, I would think about other ways to offer a treat or modify how you offer the treat to prevent biting. My DVD the Basics of Parrot Training demonstrates a way to do this. http://www.goodbirdinc.com/parrot-store.html

I totally agree (as usual)with your opinion.
Body language and feather positioning is a powerful (and underrated) way of comunication among birds (indeed is also a powerful arm between us humans).
My only bites (at leats only those I can remember)have always been my fault, and I have learned from all of them that parrots rarely (I´d say never) bite without first having told you to go away... the problem is that we need to observe and learn to read them.
It´s funny that you conclude that we should approach parrots like we´d do a lion... in my blog my comparition was with a tiger, but it is really important to always remember that parrots are WILD animals, so we should approach them as such, with respect and the body language lesson well learned. - December 18, 2012 at 6:46 AM
All of this great but what about when it comes to say a Quaker that would once step up from the the cage and all of sudden stops and shows cage aggression?

I have a nanday attack parrot, she makes it hard to do any of the reinforcement options or even get near her without her trying to eat you. She will chase you around the house and try to bite your face I don't know where to start since she is so aggressive both inside and out side her cage? Any suggestions on how to mend a supper aggressive bird ?
- September 30, 2013 at 1:22 AM
- Barbara Heidenreich said...
I would definitely start in a place that is safe. Which might be with the bird in the cage and you outside. Check out the blog here http://goodbirdinc.blogspot.com/2009/04/parrot-training-diet.html to help get you started on finding a preferred food item to use. Then just work on dropping a treat in the bowl and walking away for a while to get your bird to start looking forward to your presence. Then work up to target training from outside the cage as your first behavior.
- October 8, 2013 at 6:54 PM
- Barbara Heidenreich said...
In response to th quaker.....you can only start with what the bird will give you now and retrain the behavior. In other words it doesnt matter that he did it in the past. You start with what you have and build from there to get the behavior back on track. There a lots of reason a behavior can break down....a big one is that people stop reinforcing the behavior and just expect the bird to it. Keep in mind you want to reinforce any and all behaviors you want to maintain anytime you request the behavior to be presented by the animal. Also see my comment above.
- October 8, 2013 at 7:00 PM
My husband and I have a young green cheek conure. He is very affectionate and loves to interact with us both. We try to be respectful of his body language and not force him to do anything he doesn't want to do. However, he will voluntarily reach out for a hand, step up, and then bite fingers. He bites at other times too, but we know conures are nippy and think he is trying to get attention so we will play with him. He can also be aggressive toward our cockatiel at times, for no reason that we can see. He doesn't seem frightened at all when interacting with us, actually he is always quite cheerful! We are trying to figure out how much of this behavior is because he is young, and if we are somehow unintentionally reinforcing it. Is this a dominance thing possibly?
- June 22, 2014 at 9:21 PM
- Barbara Heidenreich said...
I wouldnt get hung up in words like dominance. Instead look at the circumstances in which the bird bites and see what you can do to avoid those situations If you cant avoid the situation then train the bird to do what you want in those situations. My book The Parrot Problem Solver is all about aggressive behavior. It is out of print but you can get digital or used copies on amazon. That would be a good comprehensive resource for you.
- June 23, 2014 at 11:53 AM
Hello, Barbara,
Could you please help me with advice - if a parrot runs to you to sit on your shoulder or head and then sometimes it can get a stong hold of your fingers or your face like warning or threatening and sometimes she bites. Firstly it was just trying to "warn" now it is biting but at the same time she runs towards me trying to get on my shoulder or head. The last time she bited me because I washed with lukewarm water as we did it before.Thanks to your article now I know how to solve her another pro screaming.Help me please to solve the most dangerous problem to be bited by a big bird like Eclectus.Thank you in advance. - August 20, 2014 at 3:36 PM
- Barbara Heidenreich said...
I hope you read the article and then...read it again :) Trying to stop biting by meeting it with an aversive experience is just asking for more problems. My first DVD Parrot Behavior and Training has a nice sequence on how to train a parrot so that it chooses to stay on your hand and will eagerly step off of your shoulder. You can find it here http://www.goodbirdinc.com/parrot-store.html

I'm doing the same thing, although I don't have a cute little box - mine is larger and I can't take it everywhere! I plan to do the white hexies, too, and am somewhat dreading all that....not sure if I want to applique my flowers onto blocks or go with the all-out entirely hand pieced top....I know it will take a few years to amount to anything, but I'm OK with that too because, as you've said, it does eat up dull road time when my hubby is driving! :) Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures!

Great question Cindy. Yes, you eventually take out the templates. I take them out after I have sewn all six sides to an adjoining block.

Nexans In-Slab Cable
With their flexible heat output and waterproof coating, Nexans In-slab cables are ideal for heating inside slabs, effectively taking the chill out of what would otherwise be a very cold concrete floor.
Choose from the various stock sizes below in either 120 or 240 Volts. Depending on how close the cables are spaced during the installation, the system can generate up to 15 Watts (51 BTUs) per sq ft. All cables have a 7 ft power lead for connecting the heating elements to one of our many thermostats. Stock size cables ship within 2 days of ordering.
Custom cables up to 1000 ft in length are also available, though a combination of standard sizes will usually work for most applications. Lead time on custom cables is 1 week plus 2-5 days for shipping.
