Hello! I wanted to ask your opinions/experiences of how tame a cockatiel should be before trying to put on a harness to bring them outside. I recently purchased an aviator harness to try out, and will get a second one if I like it.
I’ve had my birds since November, and Peaches will step up on my hand SOMETIMES if he is in the correct mood and will hang out with me for a bit. Lychee does not like to step up, but his fear of hands has already improved greatly.
At what point in their taming are they ready to go outside? If I could successfully get the harness on Peaches, would it be emotionally damaging to only take him out? (Although Lychee doesn’t want to be held, he will sometimes get upset if I seem to be paying more attention to Peaches, to the point of biting him :< )
Any insight would be appreciated!
