#territorial behaviour

[flock-talk]

So my conure and my baby quaker keep fighting on the top of the quakers cage but they tend to fight less anywhere else. It’s usually the quaker that I think gets territorial of the top of her cage. What can I do to fix this?

It's pretty common for Quakers, or most parrots for that matter, to exhibit territorial mannerisms and honestly there's nothing wrong with those behaviours. Being protective of their territory, resources, and home are survival skills that are present on a genetic level. Instead of aiming to resolve all the resource guarding behaviour I would instead aim to help the conure realize that isn't an okay place to land and help your quaker learn that if they do land there you will help resolve the issue and they don't need to escalate things.

You can place barriers to make the cage not have any direct flight paths which will deter the conure from landing while you work on creating more positive associations with appropriate landing zones. Over time interest in landing on the cage will dissipate as it lacks value and the barriers can be removed as they favour new more enjoyable landing spaces. You can help this along by treating them for landing in appropriate spaces, setting up foraging activities or play sets with toys to encourage fun activities in these other spaces.

From the Quaker's side of things I would have the conure on your hand or in a carrier if they're likely to jump off, and give the quaker a treat as you approach with the conure, immediately leaving afterwards. Each rep you bring the conure a little bit closer provided the Quaker is comfortable with them at that distance. The goal being to have the presence of the conure near the cage being a cue that treats and good experiences are to follow which can help reduce the severity of the aggression and encourage more calm behaviours with the conure near the cage.

Throughout this process if the conure ever does land on the cage I would immediately remove them, give the Quaker a treat for tolerating that situation, and set the conure up with a different activity to do. This way the Quaker learns that you will help and he doesn't need to aggress to have the conure leave his zone and the conure can learn that being on the cage doesn't yield any fun but there's different places that can.

#sylvrn art #oc #illust #character design #thimble is a spirit tamer with the energy of an insane dog owner #spirits are NOT easy to tame and it's often impossible to contract with more than one due to their territorial behaviour #thimble thinks it's easy and doesn't get why anyone would have trouble with it lol #they're just little guys!! sure they can control the elements and raise storms and wreak havoc but they're so cute 🥺 #adventurer party

Leo jokingly tells Jason that they should get married if they're both single by the time they're thirty.

Jason proceeding to sabotage all of Leo's potential romantic relationships to make sure he's single by the time they're thirty.

#leo valdez #valgrace #jason grace #jasonleo #happy talks pjo #jason understands that family and packs are important but also wants to be the only important person in Leo's life #jason who is very much you left me once before and you're not allowed to leave me again #territorial jason who snarls loudly when people get too close to leo and makes vague threats to them when leo is around so they back off #leo would fucking soak that shit up #his inferiority complex and abandonment issues would lap Jason's deeply unhealthy territorial possessive behaviour like a fucking dog

Idk how, idk where, but I'll create a whole new fic if it means I can put Rhaena in a shimmering water-like sheer dress!!!

JUST LIKEE... SHE'D LOOK SO GOOD IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY THE 1st ONE!! LIKE I'm blinded by the beauty of the first ONEEEE

Like there's certainly modern au potential, and maybe I'll squeeze it in somehow 🤔🤔

BUT ALSO, I have the vaguest idea for a dark au where Aemond has won the Dance, everyone else is dead, but he's specifically spared Rhaena to be his Valyrian Queen (like a real Henry VI situation where he needs to marry Elizabeth of York because he needs legitimatize his own claim as well as sure up his line with the blood/relations to the last dynasty blah blah). BUT OF COURSE, this is less of a chore for him, because he absolutely WANTS to marry her, but he's still the guy who helped kill her entire family, so she absolutely hates him with the hot intensity of a thousand suns 😂😂

I imagine for his faction of fucked up Lords and Knights who rallied for him, he keeps Rhaena safely locked away in a tower or special chambers 🤔🤔

This wedding is being forced upon her, it's her safest option, but she's still marrying a mad man who lusts for her, AND THIS SHEER VELVETY IRIDESCENT DRESS IS THE WEDDING DRESS 😳😳

Please that's all I have for this 🤣🤣

#aemond x rhaena #rhaena x aemond #aemond targaryen #hotd fic #hotd fanfic #rhaemond #rhaena targaryen #I'm on crack but also no I'm not 🤣🤣🤣 #LIKEEEEEEEEE #this fic would need to be DEPRAVED #like toeing the line of near Dead Dove behaviour 😂😂 #idek how likeable this Aemond would beeeee 🤣🤣 like we'd be reaching over to TRULY sadistic bitch ass territory 😂😂 #and like at what point does Rhaena keep fighting against the inevitable before she gives in to this situation 🤔🤔 #does she ever have any say as a TRUE ruler like Elizabeth of York did!? does she gain some sort of understanding with her husband/King #like does he eventually see her value beyond her beauty and ability to sure up his line?? so many questions 😂😂 #all i care about is THIS dress tho!! 🤣🤣 #it'd be a power move for sure #like Aemond would have to be using it as a way to please his own eyes but to also demean her in the eyes of his subjects 🤔🤔 #we'd be playing 4D chess with this one #but it also sounds like treaded territory already 🤔🤔 #maybe just a one-shot for the dress 😂😂😂 #everyone can imagine the rest 😂😂

Does anyone else have issues with people touching your stuff?

Like. Whenever my dad or younger brother come into my room they like to grab something and fidget with it and it makes me really physically uncomfortable for some reason.

I just. Really hate it when people touch my stuff. Like. Plz don't.

Whenever someone does that I'm all like

internally. But I feel like I can't show my irritation externally and it's really frustrating.

An example is When people ask if they can use/see/hold my phone for a bit, I feel really irritated for no reason. Like, no. Don't touch my stuff.

It's just a really animalistic reaction. like those videos of people trying to grab something from their dog and the dog just growls and bites at them to scare them away.

I'm honestly thinking about making a sign for my door that says something like "DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING (without asking first)." Because I'm getting really fed up with it all.

#eldritchbean speaks #my room is MY territory #and my stuff is MINE. #its annoying too because i would usually be okay with it if they would just ask first #alterhuman #nonhuman #non human #nonhumanity #nonhuman community #nonhuman things #nonhuman identity #nonhuman behaviours #nonhuman posting #nonhuman surrounded by humans #physically nonhuman #alterhumanism #alterhumanity #alterhumans #alterhuman community #alterhuman identity

I know I might be in the minority here, but I didn't find anything offensive in that Daniel video. Like those formats are built to be on the borderline offensive style and at least for me Daniels answers were not bad or offensive.

I might be a bad feminist idk but I was enjoying him laughing the whole time, like that man can't keep a straight face to save his life.

I dont think it makes you a bad feminist bb but you're allowed to not be offended by things just as people reserve the right to be offended as well

#i think people should be offended if things offend them but the whole thing reached weird territories when i got an onslaught of hate #for something someone else done lol. thats simply not sane behaviour. i refuse to be made responsible for someone elses actions #i wasnt going to hem and haw and defend MYSELF over an interview where the first question was: daniel do you have chlamydia #but again- people shouldnt be told what ought to offend them just as they shoulndt be told why the CANT be offended

Lucien did not pull his punches holy fuck. Free my boy Faber he did nothing wrong!!! Poor guy :(

Lucien has issues with Faber from the first moment that he (accurately) realises that Faber is in love with Caleb.

Tbh, while Lucien is horrible about it, it's also really unprofessional of Faber to stay working at Hillview while this is happening.

The priority of omegas and their welfare at Hillview comes first, and they are vulnerable, insecure, and often very jealous, and also not stupid, and being literally trapped/imprisoned on a property where you have to worry that your companion that you're forced to bond with might secretly be in love with someone else, or alternatively, that someone else might try and secretly bond with them (and like, your family or spouse are paying tens of thousands of dollars for you to stay there, sometimes close to 6 figures depending on the length of stay), is actually wildly inappropriate.

Faber's definitely in a difficult situation, but the reason he won't report what's happened, is that he knows he could get fired for not disclosing the situation to Dr Gary in the first place!

Which means Lucien solidly hates Faber for about two years, and Faber has to go out of his way to avoid Lucien (and Caleb) and sends other betas to deal with them instead (which makes Caleb think that Faber hates him, lol).

#asks and answers #lucien beaumont #faber castle #caleb crawford #it's like both horrible for faber #but it's also horrible for lucien #who is literally trying to recover from pathological levels of jealousy and insecurity #so for faber to be there in love with caleb #is like dklsajfsad literally *detrimental to his recovery* #because it's hard to say #'oh it's all in your mind' #when faber is literally in love with caleb #and caleb has slept with him #klasdjfsda lucien would be right not to accept faber in his day to day life #in a similar situation with his own partner #and while lucien is being rude about it #it's omega-appropriate behaviour to defend their bonded alphas #or defend their 'territory' so-to-speak #around threats

Got the keys 5 days ago, haven't even moved into my new place, and I've already got beef with my neighbour because she claims part of my front yard is hers.

#honestly this shit is causing too much stress #she doesnt even do anything with her front yard #so this is purely territorial behaviour #being a dick for the sake of being a dick #so what's next? she gonna annex my kitchen? #why can't people just live in their own homes and leave the rest to their business #didnt even talk to us about it #just placed a little low fence on the border of what she claims to be her yard #which is right next to the path to the front door #close enough to accidentally step on if youre not walking straight

kind of ironic that mclaren keeps bringing up how important mental health is to the team whilst using daniel as an emotional punching bag 

#i get that it's part of the territory #but they keep publicly releasing these little emotional jabs #its just mean girls behaviour and not what they preach #daniel ricciardo

been thinking about dazai's "moral" compass, or rather behavioural compass because he has no morals, and the best my brain could supply was he's like a mori-shaped chuuya

#elaborate? no. #well i guess my rationale would only make sense depends on who do you think dazai *genuinely* care for #like dazai being mori jr. is pretty self-explanatory #ends justify the means and all that #but while mori is the closest we can get to a human personification of utilitarism #dazai actually is influenced by his emotions #if in dark era it wasnt oda who got picked to be the sacrifice but some unknown mafia member #dazai wouldve been standing right there behind mori as his right-hand man in the taneda meeting #then they'd probably pop champagne later over the permit #but it was oda so now dazais like nah you cant do that #which is peak chuuya behaviour #chuuya knew damn well shirase going to steal alcohol in pm territory was his own fault for provoking the mafia #but would he retaliate if the pm attacked the sheep over it? yeah he would #and probably did considering the other sheep members' provocative acts were not a first-time thing #similarly he feels just fine dangling the ada secretaries as bait for the guild because theyre in 'enemies' territory #but if someone else dares to do the same to those in his inner circle he'd drop a building on them without blinking #dazai also is willing to modify his plan for ppl he care about #namely chuuya (stormbringer) and ada (55 min) #while mori has never heard of the phrase 'ride or die' in his damn life #difference between skk is of course chuuya has a group thats neither his friends/family or enemies #that he treat like a normal upstanding citizen #while dazai only has ppl he cares and ppl he can use freely #hence 'mori-shaped' #bungou stray dogs #bsd #bsd dazai #bsd chuuya #bsd mori

I've started blocking people online for hating chihuahuas I've had ENOUGH

#s.txt #they are literally just small. #and their aggression is bc they are small and ppl often do not respect their space or autonomy as a living thing #experience the joy of a chihuahua curling up on your lap bc youre warm and cozy and maybe youll know peace #they are loyal and cuddly and sweet little dogs #and yeah the breed can be stubborn and sometimes territorial #thats why you research what dog you are getting and prepare to train any possible behavioural problems #like you would with....literally any other dog

fe3h and 3hopes alike would be so much better if the end goal wasn’t always unification

#fe3h #fe #somebody brought up that this was largely influenced by east asian history and lit iirc (specifically how china looked throughout history) #and how it's understood by both an east asian audience and the japanese writers of the game (plus also the echoes of japanese imperialism) #but it really doesn't mesh well with the historical behaviour of european states where unification happened with plenty of territories #kicking and screaming the whole time well into even the 20th century #and since fe3h is set in smth resembling medieval europe esp in terms of each individual player in the war and also #the church having a lot of the hallmarks of catholicism #it gets pretty dicey and weird quite quick? and unification does NOT look like a bright future in pretty much any ending #spext #spext: meta #if that even counts also presumably should have a tag on that

A child means like below 12 (but can presumably walk and talk and scream and might have parents) and a literal animal can be like a dog or cat or bird (that might attack you and/or have diseases)

#I was just thinking about it because like #The way humans have taken over the world and shit #And you rarely ever meet animals and if you do it's a pet or not generally considered a normal encounter #And whether bumping into a child is better or worse #Both are cute (to me at least). You can pet them. #Of course the main thing you have to realise is yes children are loud #They're supposed to be. A screaming crying child is just a kid doing kid things #And animals will bite (kids do too sometimes). They will bark and scratch and mark their territory. #It's just animal behaviour. It's just a regular thing for them to do #So it's like asking whether you prefer animals or humans better. Or which one you find more cute per se #But also the risk of getting a disease from a wild animal. Or getting confronted by some wild parent #To me it's a hard decision but it may be different for other people #sweetmountainseeds #polls
