Q: Teaching your bird to step onto your finger when he outside his cage is an important part of taming him. A bird-proof room is one in which your bird will feel safe and secure. To prepare the room, close the windows and blinds. Also, clear the room of pets and other hazards, such as blowing fans. Ideally, the room should have a door that you can lock so others cannot come in during your training sessions. Make sure the room is lit, tidy and clean. A bathroom is a common choice for a bird-proof room. Your bird's cage is his comfort zone. Taking him out of his comfort zone may be a frightening experience for himyou do not want to make the experience more frightening by having to navigate through various perches and toys. Take the time to clear the exit path of any obstacles that could hamper your ability to take your bird out of his cage. With your bird perched on your finger in his cage, slowly move your hand backward to bring your bird out. Do not be surprised if he flies off your finger as you try to take him outhe may not be ready to leave the safety of his cage. If he does this, do not chase him around his cage. If the cage door is large enough, reach in with your other hand and cup that hand behind your bird. Your other hand would serve as a shield to keep your bird from jumping off your finger, but would not actually be touching him. Do not force him out of his cage. Remember to be patient with him. It may take several days' worth of training sessions before he is comfortable with being moved outside his cage. Your bird may immediately want to jump onto the outside of his cage. Once again, do not chase him with your finger if he does this. Patiently wait until he has settled down before having him step onto your finger again. If you have not had your bird's wings trimmed or clipped, he may fly away from you as you get him out of his cage. Slowly and gently approach him to retrieve him, making sure to talk to him in a calm and reassuring voice. Reward your bird with a treat when he stays perched on your finger. Keep your daily practice sessions short (10 to 15 minutes). When your bird is comfortable with being outside his cage, walk to the bird-proof room with your back turned to his cage. When in the room, sit on the floor or on a bed. If he hops off your finger, have him step back onto it again. To challenge your bird, use both hands as perches. With your bird perched on the index finger of one hand, use the index finger of your other hand to gently press below your bird's breast line and get him to step up. Alternating between hands, move your finger perches higher and higher to mimic the climbing of a ladder. Reward your bird with a treat each time that he steps onto your finger. Practice with your bird in the bird-proof room for 15 to 20 minutes, one to times a day. After each training session outside the cage, slowly walk him back to his cage and place him back inside. Although he may want to fly off your hand as soon as he's back inside the cage, you should try to place him back on one of his perches. To do this, position your finger such that the perch is in front of your bird and higher than your hand. When he steps onto the perch, give the verbal command to "step down." Although he is stepping up onto the perch, this action is still considered to be stepping down from your finger. Close the cage door when your bird is comfortably situated in his cage.
A: Prepare a bird-proof room. Rearrange your bird's cage, if necessary. Remove your bird from his cage. Give your bird time to acclimate to being outside his cage. Have your bird step up on your finger in the bird-proof room. Place your bird back in his cage.

Q: As soon as you secure your physical security and the security of your children (if applicable), it's important that you speak with the authorities and move forward with ensuring that your abuse will end. Consider finding an attorney you trust to tell your story to and get legal advice on how to move forward with pressing charges. Make contact and meet with domestic violence counselors, making certain they keep your record of consulting them in their files. Ask for a copy to place with your other documents. Domestic violence specialists may be able to help secure you new lodging, even if you've got a spotty rent history or employment record. Once you break free, don't go back, attempt to contact, or reconcile with your partner. Let your abuser get the message with the restraining order paperwork. Don't try to reason with your abuser as it very likely will not work. Although the details will vary by country and county, in general, to file a restraining order, you should go to a family courthouse and request the necessary paperwork. To find a courthouse you can visit, see: www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/courts/Court_Addresses/ Decide whether your case requires urgent attention or not. If you are in serious threat of physical danger, or otherwise deem that you need a restraining order right away, you can apply for a motion, which essentially means the courts may issue you a restraining order right away (as opposed to the normal process of a few weeks). If you can, get the help of a lawyer as you navigate this process. Your lawyer can send someone to serve the documents to your abuser. Serving the documents is required; in other words, the courts must be sure that abuser was given notification about the restraining order. If you cannot obtain a lawyer, the courts may be able to provide a member of staff who can serve the documents for you. You will then need to file for proof that the documents have been served. Go to court whenever you are required; you may be asked to go to court more than once, just follow the instructions provided by the courthouse and be sure not to miss your appointment(s)! Abusers are physically and emotionally manipulative, and getting out effectively means that you have to cut all ties and start ignoring your abuser at once. Don't entertain apologies, promises, or ultimatums to change. Your abuser may threaten you and attempt to have you return to the home. Cut all communication and make sure that they don't know where you are. Your physical safety is your only priority. If your abuser makes threats over text or email, be sure to save this as evidence in case you need it for legal reasons. If your abuser is holding your child or financial resources so you can't leave, you can always settle custody or joint banking accounts during legal proceedings. Do not get intimidated by your abuser.
A: Contact the proper authorities. File for a restraining order. Avoid all contact with your abuser.

Q: You can trick a person into jinx by asking a simple question. For instance, if you say "What's 2 plus 2?," the other person will mostly likely say "4." In that case, you can say "4" at the same time, then immediately say "jinx" to start the game. In some variations, the person doing the jinxing can punch the jinxed person if he or she talks before the game is over. In one variation, when you say the same phrase, you can say "American jinx, touch wood" instead of just "jinx." You play the game the same way with one exception: the first person to touch a piece of wood gets to punch the other person. If you both say "jinx" at the same time, you can say "double jinx" to initiate the game. In that case, you need to say the person's full name to end the game. If it happens again when you say "double jinx," it turns into "padlock jinx," where you need to include the person's middle names to end the game.
A:
Trick a person into jinx. Know a variation. Understand the "American jinx" variation. Try double jinx.
