Reply With QuoteI recently joined a "cagefreeparrots" mailing list and was amazed at the people who have successfully kept parrots without being caged, for years, daytime, nightime, alone or not...I never realized that so many parrots don't have to see the world through bars. I joined the list because I was looking for suggestions on helping some of my birds get along better while they're out (so we don't have as many "shifts" and each bird subsequently has more freedom each day), and was really fascinated by the people's experiences. Then I had the opportunity to speak at length with the list owner at a bird fair, and it was really exciting to hear how these people make it work. I don't think I could make it work, not with predators (2 dogs and a cat) in the house also...unfortunately.
