@TheSanjaya1976 I feel like you are using a very broad generalization on the subject. Some birds pluck their feathers in captivity OR while free. There are many reasons why a bird plucks their feathers. My grey bobs his head while he is dancing, because he is happy. Captive birds know nothing but living in a home, and would not survive if left in the wild. Please take your ill-informed opinions somewhere else.
By the way, you sound so much more intelligent when you use all caps.
@sarcasticandafraid that's not true... they don't fly off because they are born in captivity... just like the dogs from the wolves they are in the process of domestication
Only today I asked if anyone had seen film of African Greys in the wild, as there have been lots of documentaries on television about macaws and amazons. I decided to look here and am very happy I found it. Well done and thanks for posting this important gap in our appreciation of these wonderful birds.
We've just acquired one who's been bouncing from owner to owner. Someone clipped one wing, and she's clearly afraid of human hands when they come to her cage. I'd love to turn her loose - but can't do it, she'd die.
Tamed parrots can get lost and fly away, but not because they intentionally want to fly away.
Usually they are scared by all the new impressions of being outside and alone, and fly off because they're scared.
This usually repeats itself until the parrot is hopelessly lost and can't find it's way back anymore.
Although it's true that they have not been domesticated, it doesn't mean they don't want to stay with their owners. In the wild they don't fly away from the flock too, do they!?
Greys caught in the wild are generally not used as pets. They are forced into mated pairs in nesting boxes and their offspring are sold as pets after hand feeding. The conditions of the pairs are often deplorable because they're not worth much as black market parrots compared to their offspring.
When you see things like this, it makes you realize that the Earth is a priceless treasure in the universe. It's the only planet we know of thus far that has such an awesome display of life.
i ahte to see any bird in captivity. its much betetr to know they are in there proper surrounding. as human beings we should never keep birds in captivity. its just wrong. human beings should stick to there own species only.
Lovely to see them untouched by people!! They deserve what they were born to do and that only. To place birds in captivity means their natural needs cant be fully met. Quality not quantity!!!! I have birds but we rescued them after they were caged (abused) by people, I wish I could set them free but they would surely die because idiots interfered with their life. God made the trees and man made cages :(
this is why we hate pet stores that sell birds!! they arent supposed to be in captivty living in or on a cage... @RIPBUSH wow its handraised, again ur an asshole thats not being a hero
@TheSanjaya1976 african greys have been domesticated for thousands of years. the egyptians had greys, the greeks believed that they were the voices of the gods, even king henry viii had a pet african grey. and also hand raised just means that it was handled and socialized as a young bird--opposed to wild caught which is illegal! please don't talk of things you know nothing about.
@TheSanjaya1976 Pet stores only sell captive born. There's a sad flipside to their wild cousins in South America species like Imperial Amazons,Hawkheaded parrots, Golden Conure, Illiger Macaw, Red Fronted Macaw, Patagonaian Conure and many others are futureless. They are killed as pests for eating Maiz by ranchers. only because their native trees/foods are disappearing for agriculture. Pet owners can repopulate these threatened birds/save whats disappearing and for once not just for the cash.
I always imagined them in thick trees, a rain forest with fruit and nuts. But, here they are on the ground, probably picking up stones for their gullet and getting minerals from the clay. Nice to hear their wild sounds.
In certain African tribes, the red tail feathers of the African grey are seen as sybols of intelligence. The feathers are used on masks and costumes designed for tribal leaders to display their wisdom and social dedication.
@JonSan73 Congrats, this greed mentality is what caused extinction in many parrots in the first place.This is beautiful because it is not caged,caught nor sold. To appreciate their rarely seen beauty is to see them with freedom which is hardly ever done unfortunately. This is also one reason I personally made a wild parrot channel.
I had an African Grey Parrot as a pet once, it saddens me because I know I can never keep one again as a pet because they are just so much more majestic and happy in the wild.
I'm sorry, but parrots should be left in the wild. Unlike dogs and cats, they require constant attention to remain healthy. Most humans just don't have the time or energy to dedicate to a parrot. Besides, they tend to outlive their owners, by which time their lives become miserable. No, leave them in the wild, where they can enjoy their lives.
@allanm051 I agree with you, but however SOME owners can take great care of their parrot, and if they do outlive their owner, perhaps the original owner had a child who grew up with the parrot, knew how to take care of it, and bonded with it, he or she could now own the parrot as well.
@23lissa63 I have a Camaroon African Grey, and she cost less than what a friend paid for her fancy dog, a "peeka-poo" or some other mutt creation. She paid an ABSURD amount for that dog. Birds, I imagine, are expensive since they're harder to care for and breed. Dogs pretty much breed on their own.
@DaFistxProductions Our CAG talks plenty, and the "cage" is her home. She loves it in there, and its open whenever we're home anyway. She flies all over the place for exercise, she even has "flight paths" that we avoid decorating in. Greys are fine in homes when treated right.
Our Congo ("Miss Macy") was born in captivity, loves our family and flies around the living room for hours. She flies to me on request (not on 'command', LOL). We love her to bits. And what a fantastic talker she is.
So beautiful and majestic...my favorite part is watching 0:18 - 0:22 with the one grey coming in for a landing in almost slow-motion. These creatures are truly the heart and soul of a fragile ecosystem.
It is now illegal to import Greys into North America under CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). It is still legal to import them into Europe, but conservation groups such as The World Parrot Trust are working towards changing this. Fortunately, Greys can be successfully bred in captivity, which may help to cut down on some overseas trading.
20000 euro??if u got all those u could get more than 100.000...as thwey were about a hunderd and it costs 1500 euro in my country each..but seirously..watching them siiting there is better than all of those money combined..
Sadly enough, if you stop catching wild ones, they will eventually - as is the case with budgies and canaries - getting oversexed, as the strain that is easiest to breed, reinforces those characteristics,quitenaturally...They are so many, that it doesn't matter, the real tragedy for all parrots isn't catching, it's the destruction of their environment, and in Africa all wild animals should be thankful for the HIV epidemy...
That's over 20000 Euro sitting there /joke :) lovely birds, have one and is sweetest thing on earth, we even play hide and seek, sing songs and so on.
anthony, in a perfect world we would actually take care of the species that others exploit. I've been an animal rescuer for too long I'm afraid and see much too much without enough to snap me out of being disgusted by the numbers of abused, neglected, and disregarded dogs, cats, and birds. Can you think of any species that mankind hasn't taken it upon themselves to exploit? Some look at these birds and see their beauty others see only dollar signs.
Isn't it a shame that man felt he had the right to capture, confine and sell them... I doubt they were put on earth to entertain us or to be a source of income!!
@mammaaustin Of course they weren't put here to entertain or provide a source of income. They are food, for larger animals. Giving them a home, feeding them and looking after them like family takes away the danger of being killed for food in their natural habitat. I'm not saying i agree or disagree with capturing birds for pets, but what's the difference between this and a cat or dog? They were all wild once, we just take care of them.
@anthonyblyth87 The difference between domesticated cats/dogs and birds is that birds fly. It's clearly better for birds to be left to fly around outside in comparison to clipping their wings and keeping them shut inside a cage.
@sarcasticandafraid Same can be said about dogs and cats. In the wild dogs hunt in packs and chase down their own food etc..same with cats. But they do not do that in captivity.
@sarcasticandafraid obviously:) But who did they come from?...wolves. They still have all the instincts (plus or minus certain breeds) that came from wolves...hence the whole be the "alpha in your pack" etc. etc. Anyway I am just glad there are still wild parrots in the wild. Very sad how there are some parrots that are extinct, or some that only exist in captivity. ..which brings up the other point of if we had not kept that parrot in captivity then if it were not for us they would be...
@cutietwo22 we have been selectively breeding dogs for an estimated 15,000 years. African Grey parrots on the other hand are not been selectively bred, not like dogs have. These are wild, exotic birds. The birds in pet stores may have been handled enough to be considered tame but they are either imported wild birds or the offspring of said birds. You can't compare domesticated dogs to parrots - or say parrots are reliant on us. They're not, unless we fuck them up mentally and clip their wings.
@sarcasticandafraid have you ever had a bird?..How can you say that captive bred babies come from "sad" birds? If you go through a good breeder (which is what I did) then the parents included are well cared for and happy. And so what if I did not clip my birds wings? Let's say he flies out the window (or into one and gets a cuncussion) and gets lost outside. He has no way of knowing how to evade predators or find food. Hoping his instincts kick in, I do not think that would even be enough.
@sarcasticandafraid However I am against the keeping of wild anything and then making it live an existence in captivity..that is wrong. Like having the whole world to live in, and then going to a single cage/house. I would never EVER purchase a wild bird, or encourage the purchase of one. The importing and selling of wild animals makes me mad, which most people feel the same I hope.
@cutietwo22 Your bird is a wild bird. These parrots are not selectively bred like dogs to be domesticated. That's my point. Regardless of your bird being "happy" it is essentially a wild bird and yes - unless like I said the bird's natural instincts have been messed up through keeping it in a cage - it would survive and be better off in the wild, like the birds in this video. I never said captive bred birds come from "sad" birds. Look again, I wrote "said birds" as in the "aforementioned birds".
Birds have been kept as pets and bred in captivity for thousands of years. They are one of the first pets. Captive bird live twice as long as wild ones and many birds if let out will come straight back to their owners. Wild birds are great things
@cutietwo22 You purchased a wild bird. African Greys can be handled until they're tame and, like lizards or snakes, can get used to living in captivity through generations of keeping them in captivity. They are, however, not domesticated animals like dogs or cats. If you traced back the birds yours is descended from you would discover that it comes from birds that came from African Greys poached from the wild. It is a big industry and you're helping to fund it through buying an African Grey.
@sarcasticandafraid african greys cannot be imported. it has long since been illegal in the states. greys now are bought through breeders. like they said earlier, greys have been domesticated for THOUSANDS of years....
@sarcasticandafraid u stupid ass! breeding dogs your a piece of shit, now how many dogs that were bred have been dumped when they are 10... NO bird should be in captivity from parakeets to cockatoos.. they have been stolen from their natural life outside JUST to be used as a hobby or made profit by a human, ur the fuck up
@TheSanjaya1976 Actually we are steeling their home too! 160,000 to 227,000 sq mi of the Amazon Rainforest's gone. I have an Amazon Parrot. If we can't stop them from taking their home at least we can take them in and care for them. For the most part I agree with you but I have a strong bond with our rescued Amazon from a drug dealer and she definitely would NOT be happier in her natural habitat because it's not their anymore. Just something to think about.
@TheSanjaya1976 My bird was born in captivity and hand raised. Would it be admissible for you to steal him from captivity and rip everything he knows away from him to throw him outside to be eaten or starve to death? Just to be "free?" Also, if you want to make a good argument against something you believe in, it is generally more effective when you use proper grammar and spelling. Otherwise you simply look like a ranting idiot.
@anthonyblyth87 The difference is we have been selectively breeding dogs for an estimated 15,000 years. African Grey parrots on the other hand are not selectively bred. They are technically wild birds. The only reason they don't fly off is because their wings are routinely clipped. Think about that: wild birds with clipped wings so they can't fly. There's clearly a big difference in the ethics of keeping African Greys VS keeping domesticated dogs.
@sarcasticandafraid I don't get my birds wings clipped and he dosen't fly away...and I take him outside on a normal basis when its nice out. He flys around inside from stand to stand but when he comes outside he dosent fly at all. He knows where he can and can't fly..and I didn't even have to teach him.
@EatMySchwartz61 - Please don't do this anymore. It is only a matter of time before something startles your bird and it flies away. Please, if you are going to take him outside, put him inside a carrier. I know your bird loves you and you love your bird - don't do something so silly as to think your bird won't fly off because he will and then you'll be heartbroken and he will likely become some cat's dinner, or freeze to death, or starve because he doesn't know how to find food. PLEASE hear me.
@sarcasticandafraid wrong, there are pet parrots that fly outside freely called free flying parrots. They do not have wings clipped and still do not run away.
@sarcasticandafraid Parrots usually fly away since they get scared. If they are whole life in cages in your house, then they get scared of cars, other people etc and that's why they fly away. I've seen Greys riding cars on driver's shoulder without ever leaving it even at custom checks and the parrot had full wings. It's all about training, but clipping their wings (just few feather actually) doesn't really hurt the parrot anyway (except immobilise it a little)
@sarcasticandafraid My parrot once flew away, a neighbor found it under their tree calling for my name over and over again, when it saw me, it flew back to me right away.
@sarcasticandafraid You must have very little faith in a bird's love for its owner. A bird will fly away if it wants to, but if it feels warm and safe and loved it will stay planted right on its owner's shoulder. It knows when it has it good.
@sarcasticandafraid I think you've got that point wrong, there is no Difference between keeping an African Grey and a domesticated dog nowadays, both are bred indoors and the African Greys are hand fed and raised to be lovely pets. Yes about 10-15 years ago as they were a new pet to us so they were mostly captured but not now. Dogs also had to be taken from the wild to tame them except that was a few thousand years ago unlike parrots. So keeping an African grey isn't something bad
@sarcasticandafraid Yes that is kind of true, but I own an African grey, and although we clip his wings,I really don't think he cares. He sill can forage on the ground like he does in the wild, and sometimes he just like to flutter about. I see nothing wrong in keeping birds as pets, as long as you love them, and treat them well.
@gmaureen It depends on the bird. Amazons for example would rather climb and hop around than fly and ostriches are limited to running just like humans weren't born to hang around in trees all day. Avians are enormously diverse.
i have a african grey parrot but he was hand raised as a chick hes 2 now but as he was hand raised if we put him in a habitat like this he would not know what to do but we take good care of him
My Quaker Parrot responded to this so much that when I went near her and whistled she attacked my face and bit my lip very hard! She has never, ever attacked me before... I will keep this in mind next time I play her videos of wild birds!!!!!!!
Considering how apt they are at learning our language, I wonder just how complicated their language is...all those different vocal inflections suggest it might be
Considering how apt they are at learning our language, I wonder just how complicated their language is...all those different vocal inflections suggest it might be
its strange seeing them in the wild actually.... my nan and auntie both have african greys(luv them) and they are happy in their cages and homes... bred in the UK though... but wow to the video!! :D
Imported wild birds are usually cheaper than captive bred birds, and for this reason, people still buy them and they're still traded in such large numbers. as for people that wish to keep a caged bird as a pet, are doing so with good intentions, i'am sure all they want for them is the best they can offer. but overall it is sad not justt for birds for wild animals in general that they have to suffer over greed of money and we are supporting that not knowing well enough what they go thru.
Every year, an estimated 350 millions animals and plants are traded internationally; amid them are around five million wild birds,After habitat destruction, the wild animal trade is one of the main factors aiding the extinction of many species.. There's no sure way of telling if birds in pet shops are captive bred or wild caught. If asked, the staff or manager will not know, lie, or avoid the question.
@MEGABOINK65 -What is wrong with u people? WE HUMANS were once naked&running around in the wild, too. Shd we all go back to caves & mud huts bec that's "where we belong"? Please THINK about what u are saying. A domestic-born bird who has plenty of time outside its cage& interaction with its flock members (usually other birds, people, & maybe some dogs & cats, too) is HAPPY. In fact, the bird comes to think of its cage like a child thinks of its room inside a house-its safe haven within the home.
So beautiful just like the one parrot I have

@23lissa63 I have a Camaroon African Grey, and she cost less than what a friend paid for her fancy dog, a "peeka-poo" or some other mutt creation. She paid an ABSURD amount for that dog. Birds, I imagine, are expensive since they're harder to care for and breed. Dogs pretty much breed on their own.

@DaFistxProductions Our CAG talks plenty, and the "cage" is her home. She loves it in there, and its open whenever we're home anyway. She flies all over the place for exercise, she even has "flight paths" that we avoid decorating in. Greys are fine in homes when treated right.

Our Congo ("Miss Macy") was born in captivity, loves our family and flies around the living room for hours. She flies to me on request (not on 'command', LOL). We love her to bits. And what a fantastic talker she is.

It is now illegal to import Greys into North America under CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). It is still legal to import them into Europe, but conservation groups such as The World Parrot Trust are working towards changing this. Fortunately, Greys can be successfully bred in captivity, which may help to cut down on some overseas trading.

Sadly enough, if you stop catching wild ones, they will eventually - as is the case with budgies and canaries - getting oversexed, as the strain that is easiest to breed, reinforces those characteristics,quitenaturally...They are so many, that it doesn't matter, the real tragedy for all parrots isn't catching, it's the destruction of their environment, and in Africa all wild animals should be thankful for the HIV epidemy...

anthony, in a perfect world we would actually take care of the species that others exploit. I've been an animal rescuer for too long I'm afraid and see much too much without enough to snap me out of being disgusted by the numbers of abused, neglected, and disregarded dogs, cats, and birds. Can you think of any species that mankind hasn't taken it upon themselves to exploit? Some look at these birds and see their beauty others see only dollar signs.

mammaaustin 1 year ago
@mammaaustin Of course they weren't put here to entertain or provide a source of income. They are food, for larger animals. Giving them a home, feeding them and looking after them like family takes away the danger of being killed for food in their natural habitat. I'm not saying i agree or disagree with capturing birds for pets, but what's the difference between this and a cat or dog? They were all wild once, we just take care of them.

@anthonyblyth87 The difference between domesticated cats/dogs and birds is that birds fly. It's clearly better for birds to be left to fly around outside in comparison to clipping their wings and keeping them shut inside a cage.

@sarcasticandafraid perhaps you are right, given the choice I would probably choose freedom over security

@sarcasticandafraid Same can be said about dogs and cats. In the wild dogs hunt in packs and chase down their own food etc..same with cats. But they do not do that in captivity.

@cutietwo22 domesticated dogs do not exist in the wild. google it.
sarcasticandafraid 1 year ago
@sarcasticandafraid obviously:) But who did they come from?...wolves. They still have all the instincts (plus or minus certain breeds) that came from wolves...hence the whole be the "alpha in your pack" etc. etc. Anyway I am just glad there are still wild parrots in the wild. Very sad how there are some parrots that are extinct, or some that only exist in captivity. ..which brings up the other point of if we had not kept that parrot in captivity then if it were not for us they would be...
cutietwo22 1 year ago
@cutietwo22 we have been selectively breeding dogs for an estimated 15,000 years. African Grey parrots on the other hand are not been selectively bred, not like dogs have. These are wild, exotic birds. The birds in pet stores may have been handled enough to be considered tame but they are either imported wild birds or the offspring of said birds. You can't compare domesticated dogs to parrots - or say parrots are reliant on us. They're not, unless we fuck them up mentally and clip their wings.
sarcasticandafraid 1 year ago
@sarcasticandafraid have you ever had a bird?..How can you say that captive bred babies come from "sad" birds? If you go through a good breeder (which is what I did) then the parents included are well cared for and happy. And so what if I did not clip my birds wings? Let's say he flies out the window (or into one and gets a cuncussion) and gets lost outside. He has no way of knowing how to evade predators or find food. Hoping his instincts kick in, I do not think that would even be enough.
cutietwo22 1 year ago
@sarcasticandafraid However I am against the keeping of wild anything and then making it live an existence in captivity..that is wrong. Like having the whole world to live in, and then going to a single cage/house. I would never EVER purchase a wild bird, or encourage the purchase of one. The importing and selling of wild animals makes me mad, which most people feel the same I hope.
cutietwo22 1 year ago
@cutietwo22 Your bird is a wild bird. These parrots are not selectively bred like dogs to be domesticated. That's my point. Regardless of your bird being "happy" it is essentially a wild bird and yes - unless like I said the bird's natural instincts have been messed up through keeping it in a cage - it would survive and be better off in the wild, like the birds in this video. I never said captive bred birds come from "sad" birds. Look again, I wrote "said birds" as in the "aforementioned birds".
sarcasticandafraid 1 year ago
Birds have been kept as pets and bred in captivity for thousands of years. They are one of the first pets. Captive bird live twice as long as wild ones and many birds if let out will come straight back to their owners. Wild birds are great things
brittbrit1017 10 months ago
@cutietwo22 You purchased a wild bird. African Greys can be handled until they're tame and, like lizards or snakes, can get used to living in captivity through generations of keeping them in captivity. They are, however, not domesticated animals like dogs or cats. If you traced back the birds yours is descended from you would discover that it comes from birds that came from African Greys poached from the wild. It is a big industry and you're helping to fund it through buying an African Grey.

@sarcasticandafraid african greys cannot be imported. it has long since been illegal in the states. greys now are bought through breeders. like they said earlier, greys have been domesticated for THOUSANDS of years....

@TheSanjaya1976 Actually we are steeling their home too! 160,000 to 227,000 sq mi of the Amazon Rainforest's gone. I have an Amazon Parrot. If we can't stop them from taking their home at least we can take them in and care for them. For the most part I agree with you but I have a strong bond with our rescued Amazon from a drug dealer and she definitely would NOT be happier in her natural habitat because it's not their anymore. Just something to think about.
astrodroids 9 months ago
@TheSanjaya1976 My bird was born in captivity and hand raised. Would it be admissible for you to steal him from captivity and rip everything he knows away from him to throw him outside to be eaten or starve to death? Just to be "free?" Also, if you want to make a good argument against something you believe in, it is generally more effective when you use proper grammar and spelling. Otherwise you simply look like a ranting idiot.

@sarcasticandafraid ...in the wild. Then that means because of humans they became extinct but ANYHOW it could go on forever:)
cutietwo22 1 year ago
@anthonyblyth87 The difference is we have been selectively breeding dogs for an estimated 15,000 years. African Grey parrots on the other hand are not selectively bred. They are technically wild birds. The only reason they don't fly off is because their wings are routinely clipped. Think about that: wild birds with clipped wings so they can't fly. There's clearly a big difference in the ethics of keeping African Greys VS keeping domesticated dogs.
sarcasticandafraid 1 year ago 12
@sarcasticandafraid I don't get my birds wings clipped and he dosen't fly away...and I take him outside on a normal basis when its nice out. He flys around inside from stand to stand but when he comes outside he dosent fly at all. He knows where he can and can't fly..and I didn't even have to teach him.
EatMySchwartz61 9 months ago
@EatMySchwartz61 - Please don't do this anymore. It is only a matter of time before something startles your bird and it flies away. Please, if you are going to take him outside, put him inside a carrier. I know your bird loves you and you love your bird - don't do something so silly as to think your bird won't fly off because he will and then you'll be heartbroken and he will likely become some cat's dinner, or freeze to death, or starve because he doesn't know how to find food. PLEASE hear me.

@sarcasticandafraid wrong, there are pet parrots that fly outside freely called free flying parrots. They do not have wings clipped and still do not run away.
evilman210 7 months ago
@sarcasticandafraid Parrots usually fly away since they get scared. If they are whole life in cages in your house, then they get scared of cars, other people etc and that's why they fly away. I've seen Greys riding cars on driver's shoulder without ever leaving it even at custom checks and the parrot had full wings. It's all about training, but clipping their wings (just few feather actually) doesn't really hurt the parrot anyway (except immobilise it a little)

xMagicalDanny 6 months ago
@sarcasticandafraid You must have very little faith in a bird's love for its owner. A bird will fly away if it wants to, but if it feels warm and safe and loved it will stay planted right on its owner's shoulder. It knows when it has it good.
TheMuffinBurgler 2 months ago
@sarcasticandafraid I think you've got that point wrong, there is no Difference between keeping an African Grey and a domesticated dog nowadays, both are bred indoors and the African Greys are hand fed and raised to be lovely pets. Yes about 10-15 years ago as they were a new pet to us so they were mostly captured but not now. Dogs also had to be taken from the wild to tame them except that was a few thousand years ago unlike parrots. So keeping an African grey isn't something bad
OHYEAHDUDES 2 months ago
@sarcasticandafraid Yes that is kind of true, but I own an African grey, and although we clip his wings,I really don't think he cares. He sill can forage on the ground like he does in the wild, and sometimes he just like to flutter about. I see nothing wrong in keeping birds as pets, as long as you love them, and treat them well.

@gmaureen It depends on the bird. Amazons for example would rather climb and hop around than fly and ostriches are limited to running just like humans weren't born to hang around in trees all day. Avians are enormously diverse.

Imported wild birds are usually cheaper than captive bred birds, and for this reason, people still buy them and they're still traded in such large numbers. as for people that wish to keep a caged bird as a pet, are doing so with good intentions, i'am sure all they want for them is the best they can offer. but overall it is sad not justt for birds for wild animals in general that they have to suffer over greed of money and we are supporting that not knowing well enough what they go thru.
MEGABOINK65 1 year ago
Every year, an estimated 350 millions animals and plants are traded internationally; amid them are around five million wild birds,After habitat destruction, the wild animal trade is one of the main factors aiding the extinction of many species.. There's no sure way of telling if birds in pet shops are captive bred or wild caught. If asked, the staff or manager will not know, lie, or avoid the question.

@MEGABOINK65 -What is wrong with u people? WE HUMANS were once naked&running around in the wild, too. Shd we all go back to caves & mud huts bec that's "where we belong"? Please THINK about what u are saying. A domestic-born bird who has plenty of time outside its cage& interaction with its flock members (usually other birds, people, & maybe some dogs & cats, too) is HAPPY. In fact, the bird comes to think of its cage like a child thinks of its room inside a house-its safe haven within the home.
