Yes. The first step was to sync up my head body language with the bird's head body language (they have very active necks). Then I hung out at the edge of the bird's flight radius until I saw her get comfortable. After that, I tensed toward the bird then turn, ran, and ducked in a non-threatening position. It was like a shot of adrenaline straight to the brain that gave the bird a quick high. After that things were gravy and it's just a matter of getting the technique out there now.
And what you're doing is far from derisive; I actually call it meme derivation analysis. If genes started with a single individual, then so can memes I say. Could be as simple as a common ancestor of chimps and humans picking out a four leaf clover. The A-Team-esque tune hitting my head that moment may be because I would play with toys when I was younger while my dad watched army shows on TV. I constantly repeated the tune to give myself a unique identifier.

I'll bray for you. Like a goat.
