Threats

Earlier, we were getting ready to go running. The parrots were in their cages, and Rocky in particular was unhappy about this. He kept screaming. Finally Thomas threatened, "stop screaming or I will touch you with my gloves!" Not surprisingly, Rocky kept screaming, so Thomas had to follow through.

Rocky was in his box, so Thomas enclosed him inside (Rocky loved this, so not much of a punishment):Without Thomas's pressure, the box is much more open.
By the time we returned from our run, Rocky had completely destroyed the box.
