Q: This is the golden rule. Many inexperienced bird owners don't realize that a lot of bird species, especially certain breeds of parrots, consider touch below the neck to be a kind of breeding ritual. As a result, frequently petting a bird around its back, wings, or tail can lead to all kinds of behavioural problems later on. While this isn't the case for every bird, they also tend to prefer being petted on the head and neck more than anything anyway, because those are the only spots they can't reach by themselves. So, it's generally better to just stay above the neck. Everyone is happier that way. This will help it to get used to you, and works as a good starting point. Be sure to be very gentle, especially when the bird is just starting to experience petting. Unlike most pets, it's generally agreed that birds prefer being petted against the natural direction of their feathers, rather than from the head towards the tail. This is good to keep in mind. You can try to gently rub the skin just behind the its beak and the sides of its head, if it still seems relaxed and comfortable. Birds also tend to enjoy being petted around their ears. (Take care around the eyes, though.) Birds also tend to enjoy being scratched under their beaks. Again, though, don't go lower than the neck if possible, in order to keep the bird comfortable. Most birds require some time to get to know and trust a person before they will allow petting or other forms of affection. However, once you've gained a bird's trust, they prove to be exceptionally loyal. Be very gentle and very patient, and it's very likely you'll get there soon enough.
A: Don't pet below the bird's neck. Start by lightly touching or petting the bird's beak. Pet towards the beak, not the tail. Gradually shift your touch to the sides of the bird's head. When the bird seems relaxed and more used to petting, try petting the back of its head and neck. Be patient.

Q: Wedding photos are heirlooms the family will treasure for years. To produce high quality work, you should use high quality equipment. Start with mid-range products--you can always upgrade later. Talk to retailers and other photographers to see what they recommend.  You’ll need a tripod and a monopod, camera bags, lenses, 4 GB memory cards, a flash, and a camera. Rent your gear before you purchase. This will give you a trial period to see if it works for you. You need to know your photography equipment in and out. That way, you’ll be able to focus on getting the perfect shot when the wedding day arrives. Go through your camera’s owner’s manual, take photos in tons of different conditions, and consider taking a photography class or workshop. Make sure you know how to handle your equipment in different lighting conditions and when the subject is moving quickly. While taking classes isn’t necessary to becoming a wedding photographer, it can definitely help. Consider taking classes at your university, local community college, or online. Photography classes can help you get a feel for technique and equipment fundamentals. If you are in college, consider majoring or minoring in photography. Every photographer has their own style. This style isn’t fixed. Rather, it’s constantly evolving as the photographer grows. To develop your own style, look to your favorite photographers for inspiration. See what elements you like, and try to bring them to life in your own work. There are two kinds of wedding photography: traditional, which involves classic, posed photos, and photojournalistic, which involves more candid photos. Your own style might lean towards one, or blend the two. In order to grow creatively and develop your own photography style, you’ll need to take risks. Try different angles and color schemes, and test different techniques. Just remember that the wedding is not the place for radical experimentation. While you can--and should--experiment with some shots at the wedding, avoid turning the entire shoot into a creative experiment. Wedding photographers often spend more time editing their photos than they do actually taking them. It’s a good idea to become proficient in photo editing softwares like Photoshop and Lightroom by watching online tutorials or attending workshops, and practicing on your own, of course. Consider your personal photography style when editing your photos. Your finished photos should reflect your style. One of the best ways to learn is to watch others who have mastered the craft. Ask local wedding photographers you admire if you can shadow them during a photoshoot or work as an assistant. Pay close attention and take notes if you need to. Working as an assistant to an established wedding photographer is a great way to get into the industry. Having a portfolio of your work is key for any aspiring wedding photographer. A website is a great place to house your portfolio. On your website, clients can learn more about your business while browsing through your work.  Your online portfolio is a digital representation of your business, so make sure it looks professional. Your website should have a consistent style and easy-to-navigate format. One way to build your portfolio is to offer to work for free. You can help out a professional wedding photographer, or offer to shoot a friend's wedding free of charge. You’ll gain valuable experience while getting shots for your portfolio. Joining a photography organization is a great way to connect with other wedding photographers and learn more about your art. These organizations also offer great networking opportunities. Your new photographer friends can give you referrals!  Organizations like Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) offer strategies, tips, and equipment reviews for professional wedding photographers. Try to find a photography group in your area. If you can’t find one, consider starting your own.
A: Purchase quality equipment. Practice using your camera and equipment. Take photography classes, if possible. Develop your personal style. Take risks. Learn to edit your photos. Shadow professional wedding photographers. Create an online portfolio. Join a photography organization.

Q: Flash browsers rely on streaming services from the actual sites themselves, so you should use a reliable internet connection for the best results.  If your wifi isn't on, tap the "Settings" app (the grey gear icon), open the "Wi-Fi" menu, and swipe the slider next to the "Wi-Fi" option to the right--it should turn green, indicating that you've enabled wifi. You can also turn on wifi by swiping up from the bottom of your screen to access a menu, then tapping the wifi icon in the top row of options.  Most Flash browser apps will ask for your preference in display optimization (mobile vs. desktop); mobile mode shows the mobile version of websites, which don't usually have Flash enabled, while desktop mode shows the Flash content. You have successfully obtained Flash functionality for your iPad!
A: Make sure your wifi is on. Tap your Flash browser app to open it. Follow the app's instructions to set up the browser. Browse for Flash content.

Q: Again, just as before, the feet don’t need to be right next to each other. Stand in a normal stance with the feet under the hips and less than shoulder-width apart.  If you feel more comfortable, bring your feet closer together so that there is only an inch (2.54 cm) or two (5.08 cm) of space between your feet. If you are going to place your feet closer together, lean up against a wall or chair for extra support. Slowly, rise up on your toes and shift your weight to the balls of your feet. Use a wall or chair to help you balance if necessary. Or, you can take a little bit of a wider stance to help you balance. Then, straighten them. Then, bend your knees again and straighten them. Do this slowly at first. Then, move much faster -- as fast as you can go. Once you start moving faster, you’ll have to limit the range of motion, so it won’t look like you’re bending your knees.  In other words, your knee bending movements won’t be as large as before. Bounce slightly on your toes while you bend your knees. The two movements together help the booty clap.  You should hear a clapping sound when you have done it correctly. This method is easiest those that have a big butt already because it helps the butt jiggle.
A:
Stand with your feet together. Stand on the balls of feet. Bend your knees slightly.
