Hi everyone!
Id like to open up a conversation with lovely peeps who work from home under 'silence' or noise controlled environments?
I am an over-the-phone interpreter and live in a small studio with my male and female cockatiels. female isn't a problem, she's extremely quiet and mellow and often works with me in the room, she's an older female, my boy is a different story... he's much younger noisy and I have adapted my bathroom next door with hanging perches and play stands for him galore, while I work in the main space... He remains quiet and playful in there, and I come visit him often for some minutes at a time while im in idle time. and that seems to work for now...
I won't deny that I have been haunted by some anxiety over their noise levels and my job's requirements to keep a noise-free environment... but we all know the perks of working from home!
Has anyone experienced complains or called their attention due to mild background noises coming from their birds? Maybe those owners of cockatiels might be able to but in we are more used to their noise levels?
I wish for exciting stories to share here! This topic isn't talked much at all in these communities and probably we will be helping countless others to soothe their worries and anxieties over keeping their feathered friends or not -just as I was before. Let's share in what ways can someone with a small space AND a bird be ok side to side, or even 'how much is too much in order to cause a complaint from supervisors or clients we work for over the phone...
