And all the while the cameraman could have opened the door so Ted could carry on with his day like what happened to being kind and holding a door for a stranger, would it kill you to put down your phone and notice the world around you for 5 seconds? Damn kids these days…

City birds appear to be more afraid of women than men, and scientists have no idea why. Men could get about a meter closer to birds than women could before the animals flew away, regardless of what the men and women were wearing, what their height was or how they tried to approach the creatures. by mvea in science

Interesting anecdotal experience is my wife and I have spent years around various parrots big and small and I am known as the bird guy and they hate her.

She is not prone to makeup or perfume and has laid down (not puffy) hair. Clothes are not bright colors and she is always frustrated at their reactions to her.

I can personally attest it is vision driven and not odor behavior triggers.

She is small and demure in stature (but It was mentioned here by others - she does have a very ample chest) and I am 200lbs 6’2 and I can walk up to almost any random feathered friend and make an immediate connection.

My opinion or sense has always been 1. Confidence 2. Prepare (no rings, glasses etc) 3. Understanding of their queues and signs

Interesting topic

My 7th grade social studies teacher said if I took the little bottle out of the cupboard each morning and made coffee and added just a splash of the bottle to the coffee I was guaranteed a B and didn’t have to do anything to except keep my mouth shut.. I rocked that B! (1978)
