I have a beautiful eight month Congo Grey. He has been with me since he was eight weeks old and he is free flying in my living room. I simply want to ask for opinions.
I have chosen not to allow Beano out of the cage all day but rather he is out of the cage several times a day . He is allowed to fly,socialise and generally get into mischief. At these times he's fully supervised with both myself or husband . I also have a dog and they love each other to bits.
Every day he comes to the park in his carrier when I am walking my dog and he also comes up to the garden in his carrier.
The rest of the day he is in his cage playing with his toys ,clambering around,singing his head off and generally being a very young African grey Parrot.
My reason for not allowing him out all day to just roam around and get into mischief is that I want him to be able to content himself whilst I am not with him as I can't be there every moment of the day . I feel that I will be setting my self up for a problem if I allow him to think He needs to be with me all the time.He seems very happy and well adjusted . Do you all feel this is an appropriate life for him.He is on a very good diet has lots of toys which he plays with and a constant gentle level of activity around him.
