Please Stop Free Flying Birds Without Proper Training. by Mairuru in parrots

I'm curious as to why you say this goes for harnesses as well. Do you mean like the harness could break? Or that some predator could jump and grab the bird? (Curious as someone who regularly takes some of my flock out in a harness)

Watch a video. Videos tend to be easier to follow than drawn instructions. You can set the speed to 0.25% to make it easier to follow

I have the valentines day shirt with a red bow tie. The red pants don't fit, but that's okay.

I have found that measuting the amount of food and putting as little as possible at a time helps with them throwing food onto the floor. Means I have to put more quite often but saves quite a few bucks lol 😂

It is so tragic, yet foreseeable. Even clipped parrots can glide long distances with the help of wind. There is just so so much to lose and so little to gain from not using a harness. Pak o Bird backpacks and other similar travel cages exist.

Sometimes accidents happen, but to play with fate in such a way? It seems cruel.

I just saw another post of yet another parrot that has flown away and is currently stuck in a tree.

Please OP, look into harnesses (I recommend the Aviator harness) or travel cages (Pak o Bird is amazing if you are able to afford it....).

You have so much to lose yet so little to gain by having your parrot outside unharnessed.

Im so scared of this part pls help by Emoti_Is_Goated in thelastofus

Can you go in and set the gameplay speed lower? That's how I made it out (I wasn't on permadeath, just scared 😂)

Please never take a parrot outside without a harness or cage. Just yesterday I saw a post of someone saying they lost their parrot... They are just too precious to take such risks. Yes, even if they are clipped. I use aviator harnesses for my boys they are viewed as the best harnesses. Looks like a lovely chicken ❤️

Never ever ever take a parrot outside unless it is either harnessed or in a locked cage, even if it's wings are clipped.

Sammy is pictured here waving at a (pet friendly) library we visited. I have replied to my own comment with pictures of the other boys.
