As always, very in depth and detailed!

A few days after this came out, birdtricks.com came out with a much less comprehensive copy of it, if anyone wants to see..

Thanks for posting these articles.

Thanks, that first article was really useful. Having been email "bashed" by Chet and co I wasn't as keen on his article, but interesting to see how he reinterprets things and then uses it to sell products.

Gleaning inferences from these posts I googled the organization with one of the articles. Not a good result. Thanks for heads up.

I break many of these rules ( food outside the cage etc etc) and still have no problems putting birds back in. I think the most important rules have to do with exercise, love and predictability.

a) If your parrot loves you, it will do almost anything you ask
b) If your parrot ( even a hyperactive caique) gets loads of exercise outside its cage, it will be happier going back
b) Maintain a predictable routine, my guys loooove this.
