I didnt wait at all. As soon as we got home he came out of his travel cage and i let him walk around on top of the table. Echo was attached to me from day one. I visited him several times when he was being weaned. He wanted to be with me every second. The challenge was to get him to go back to his cage happily. He would cry if i left him. He now goes in by himself but will always choose me to sleep on.
Each bird is different but i suggest a safe low stimulus room for first outing. Good lighting so if they fly they can see properly. And somewhere unclutered as probably still learning to fly/land properly.
Eckies freeze first, then take flight when scared so watch body language. It feathers are tight against body, lean away from something and slightly freeze its a sign they are scared.
Go slow, have treats handy and just make sure they are always safe.
How exciting!!
