Spent 3 hours trying to get a perfect seam in a Dallas sunroom because the homeowner's pet parrot kept stealing my seam tape.

The bird, named Mango, would wait until I turned my back, swoop down, grab a piece, and fly back to his perch to shred it, which added an extra two hours to a job that should have taken forty-five minutes.

That parrot, Mango, was just doing his job protecting the house from foreign objects. You were leaving sticky tape everywhere in his territory. The real problem was your work setup, not the bird. You should have secured your materials better or asked the owner to put him in another room. Adding two hours is on you for not adapting to the work environment.

So the bird gets a pass for destroying work materials because it's "his territory"?
