 I have the book. I still find it teasing. If you will read more in the book 
the same author states to punish a bird you drop them from the arm. (offenses 
such as nipping and biting when being held) If you wish I can go through the 
book and find these two pages and reference them for you. I think that a move 
that is punishment (dropping the bird) makes a silly exercise when half 
performed. To me this is teasing.
