@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Our Timneh African Grey ‘Kumiko’ has avoided chewing on almost all cords (thin headphone cords around the neck are liable to get nicks and kinks) since he was 6 months old; we freaked out, yelling “DANGER!” whenever he looked sideways at a 120V or computer cord. Now he just steps over them. We also convinced him the cats he sees out the window are a threat by pointing at them and saying “Danger”, and now (at 19 yo) he alarm-calls when he sees one outside.
