Munch Muffins A Big Hit

Every afternoon, to soothe the savage beasts, I walk around and hand out my delicious Munch Muffins.

These are all organic homemade with oat and barley flours and loads of tasty ingredients. They are relished by the regulars around here.

Indy, this gorgeous hyacinth macaw, is trying them for the first time. He could be a poster boy for their good flavor. See his smile? Of course, Indy, like all hyacinths, always has a smile on his face!

Hyacinths are big and strong and playful. They have a bold sense of humor and can turn into precocious brats if you don't keep the upper hand. This is where verbal commands are quite important. "No, I don't want to!" is a behavior that comes naturally to a hyacinth. It takes lots of patience and "cajoling" to see that the good behaviors are rewarded. It is also important not to reward the bratty behavior with any drama. Simply turn your back and come at it in a different way.
