The whispering never worked for me, on the tough ones. Carry an old sheet in your car for the cranky ones. You'll figure out pretty quickly (after a few discharges) which ones your wasting your breath talking to. X2 Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Trapper Les signs "Kumbiya" and "Michael row the boat ashore". You signing the same songs? Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Press yer face up against the cage and whisper sweet nothings into the cage. Before doing this however make sure you have a helper with a camera recording it.

What songs do you sign to them? Trapper Les signs "Kumbiya" and "Michael row the boat ashore". You signing the same songs? The name of the tune is "Hey Little Skunky". The lyrics are my own. My kids know the song. Kinda follows a Barney melody. Praise the Lord and Pass the ammunition.
