Allow me to elucidate, @a-sour-nectarine
When most people "roll their eyes", they flick their eyes directly upward, usually as far as they comfortably go, then resume looking normally.
When someone who learned the phrase before the behavior does it, they usually go in a circular (ish) motion. Since most eye movements are lines, it's usually pretty triangular: the key points are usually a diagonal up one way, then to the far other side, then to a diagonal low the first way. Thus, the eyes basically make a loop, so they "rolled".
I've found that when people who learned the up-down way first try the circular motion, they might risk motion sickness, so experiment carefully.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN MOST PEOPLE JUST LOOK UP
IS THIS WHY PEOPLE THINK I’M ROLLING MY EYES WHEN I THINK AND LOOK UPWARD
Bird on the hand (scary)
Regarding your tags, I also find greys very hard to read!! Def moreso than macaws, or compared to my other birds where it's feels like second nature. First picture she's actually mid whistle so it's a little misleading.
These situations (away from cage), I would describe her body language and expression as generally overstimulated. She likes going on little adventures, I think, but is unsteady and nervous which can turn excitement into biting you biting you biting you. She keeps her feathers tight to her body and stands tall, while also leaning towards the destination and wiggling her wings like she wants to fly.
Cusita is also the most firm about her boundaries and autonomy, so part of why bird on hand is scary is because if she gets startled, or decides I'm going the wrong way or wrong pace, she's not above panicking and biting the hand that holds her. She hasn't successfully bit anyone (that wasn't asking for it) in probably....upwards of a year? But if she's somewhere she wants to be (like yesterday I had her on the counter) and I ask her to step to my hand, there's a decent chance she gives me 2 seconds to accept "no" before lunging lol.
Greys are still the birds that I have handled a lot but that I have no idea how to tell what any one of them is feeling. Except for the very obvious displays anyway.
A lot of people seem to have trouble with reading african greys and I am really wondering why that is.
My theory is that african greys are all passive aggressive amongst themselves and are appalled and disgusted that us clumsy humans cannot perceive their microaggressions
Funny how a mass arrest goes completely under the radar when it's mostly teens, right?
To be clear there was no explosive; "hill bomb" is just what the event is called.
Holy SHIT. I just finished reading a related article, and y’all, this was so corrupt OTHER SFPD COPS ARE STANDING WITH THE KIDS.
Like basically their take is “yeah, some kids were being unruly. Y’all handled it ENTIRELY the wrong way and there is zero reason this should have happened.” There was an official meeting (I think like a monthly town hall kind of thing? I forgot to take note when I read it) and the cop who’s in charge of internal conduct investigation was there and he. Was. PISSED. And inviting parents and teens involved to give their testimony on the specifics of the rights violations they experienced so he could follow up and make full reports.
Like you KNOW shit’s fucked when even other police are looking at the police chief and saying “what the fuck is wrong with you?”
hi, i actually live in the bay, and have friends and comrades who were affected by this, i have no fucking idea where you got the notion that other police officers are going against their coworkers and city officials when SFPD !and they mayors office has made it plenty clear they see nothing wrong with what they did
"i forgot what officer was doing the internal investigation bur he was PISSSED" fuck out of here youre really gonna believe their bullshit??? are you fucking stupid?? no, hes frustrated the department has to do ANOTHER PR stunt because this is routine behavior for SFPD
do not spread bullshit unsourced cop propaganda about my community because you read one single article. get the fuck out of here
got very excited to see this fucker before realizing i was going to die
