A customer's parrot wouldn't stop mimicking my impact gun sounds. Half the shop thought it was a riot, the other half wanted it out. Should we allow pets in the garage or keep it strictly business?

Oh man, that parrot was basically doing unpaid labor as your loudest air tool! It probably thought it was being REAL helpful. But let's be honest, after the third hour of random impact gun sounds from the corner, even the guys laughing would want to wring its little neck. This is exactly why we can't have nice things. Should we take a shop vote? The parrot might win.

Let the parrot unionize before it asks for overtime pay.

Positive reinforcement worked wonders when my budgie picked up the smoke alarm beep. Just ignored the bad sounds and rewarded the good ones with a treat. He lost interest in being annoying pretty fast once it stopped getting a reaction from everyone.
