What kinds of stories do some of you have about animals interrupting tunings? I ave one customer with a dog which tried to sing the note I was tuning. ometimes I ask customers to remove the bird cage from the room as the birds eally get going as I do the top octaves. There's nothing wrong with asking the customer to put the animal outside or in another room. Parrots and parakeets will usually get quiet when a cover is put over the cage. Just the other day, while I was tuning, it sounded like someone was having a phone conversation in the other room. Nothing disturbing, but a constant chatter. I thought it was the son, but then I realized it was a parrot. When I was leaving the parrot said goodbye to me.
