Birds&Tea
Meeting neighbors
Hello! I share my space with a cockatiel (Ruby) and a GCC (Pepper), both of who are fully flighted. We recently moved from our own house to a room staying with family. Now we're getting an apartment and it's the first time I've had concerns about the parrots' ability to fly around.
My biggest concern is that the living room leads to a balcony. We're planning on using the balcony frequently for our older dog for bathroom breaks. Ideally, I'd like to keep the birds in the living room since that's were my husband and I will be a lot of the time, but would never forgive myself if the girls got out. It seems like the safest course is to keep their wings clipped while we're there.
If I do that, how can I best help them not feel restrained? Is there a set up I can put together so they still have access to get to high and low places and don't feel like their missing out?
Thank you!
