One member of the avian community who lived for decades in California and has since moved to Washington leaves a group of Cockatoos out all day and calls them in at night. Her biggest problem is that they destroy houses. I think in the thirty years she's been doing this, she's only lost one bird and it was a smaller bird who ended up out after dark. I don't free fly my parrots because I'm a bad trainer and I have the smaller birds that Janet is talking about but I tend to agree with Janet on this one.

>Would you leave them outside all day, by themselves, to fly about, to alert your chickens to hawks? In June there was a lost green parrot that was in the trees by the woods. I left a cage, food and water out, even talked to it. It lasted a day before something got it. There were green feathers along the fence by the chick barn behind the cattle barn.
