Just curious to see how long you guys take your parrots out every day? I take Eddie out about 2 hours in split up times sense i do online school and my work is very flexible... i feel like i should be taking him out more he always wants to stay out of his cage. He has plenty of new toys in there he plays with too.

My cages are open from sunup to sundown :) If someone is home, the cages are open. That lets them decide how much out time they need. I think 2 hours is bare minimum.

It’s going to vary so much. I’m blessed to be able to be home basically all day long so my girls are out from 8am to 8pm on most days.

The general answer is "However much time you can." I think it's very individual. My girls' cage is typically open around 6 hours a day, but they almost always put themselves up way before I do. But I know a lot of birds that would be out that full 6 hours and it still not be long enough. :shrug:
