Jogging around the block
Hi all! I have a cockatiel as well as a pineapple gcc, and a dog. Anyways both birds have their own cages and the dog is kennelled in the night time. Both birds are really part of the family, they are aloud to do pretty much whatever they want to do while we are home within our rules and will gladly harness and unharness, clipping ect with out toweling. Unless of course we change the room around or have lots of people over, then they act out and forget to listen! Then it is only a last resort too. There is almost someone always home. Anyways lately we have been letting them sleep out of their cages. Obviously with full access to their safety any time they feel they need it. And low and behold once we make our way to bed they make their way to their cages. Often they sleep on top of their cages or on pirches very close to their cages. We do keep the food and water in the cages as well as on a couple of small pirches through out the house. I'm not scared of accidently leaving the dog out because he knows his place in this food chain! And we cage them if we all leave. The question I have is are we the only people that have done this and does anyone see any detrimental issue with causing bad habits? I'm interested for sure. Thanks for any info.
