* {{com|study}}: As you study the birdeater, you think you could probably wear, remove, clean, flip, kiss, pinch, punish, rub, tap and tickle it.
* {{com|wear}}: You set your goliath birdeater on your shoulder.  The birdeater flails briefly before getting a good grip.
* {{com|remove}}: You carefully remove your goliath birdeater from your shoulder.  The birdeater squirms and flails briefly before resigning itself to being picked up.
* {{com|clean}}: Your goliath birdeater begins an elaborate grooming routine, its chelicerae, palps, and legs all moving in unison for several minutes until the birdeater seems satisfied that it is clean.
* {{com|flip}} ''when worn'': You can't -- you're wearing it.
* {{com|flip}} ''when held'': You try to flip your goliath birdeater onto its back for a belly rub, but the birdeater hisses and quickly rights itself.
* {{com|kiss}} ''when worn'': You kiss a rusty brown goliath birdeater with ivory leg joints!
* {{com|kiss}} ''when held'': You bring your goliath birdeater to your lips for a kiss, but the birdeater backs away from you and rears up in a threat posture.  What did you expect to happen?
* {{com|pinch}}: You give your goliath birdeater a squeeze.  Ouch!  The birdeater just bit you.  Fortunately, it seems to have been a dry bite.
* {{com|punish}}: You reach toward your goliath birdeater as if to squish it.  In response, the birdeater flicks a cloud of urticating hairs at you and rears up on its hind legs in a threat posture.  On second thought, perhaps squishing it is not such a good idea.
* {{com|rub}}: You gently pat your goliath birdeater on its carapace, and the birdeater pulls its legs close to its body in a defensive posture.  Evidently, it does not like to be rubbed.
* {{com|tap}}: With one finger, you reach toward your goliath birdeater.  The birdeater raises one of its front legs and taps your finger as if to give you a high five.
* {{com|tickle}}: You try to tickle your goliath birdeater, but it grabs your finger and holds on tight.  Did you really expect the birdeater to laugh?
