How come he doesn't fly away like budgies and cockatiels would?? is it relating to how intelligent they are???

[NerdBirdBeaker]

At the time he was clipped. He was not able to fly upwards; only glide down.

He is now fully flighted and he does not go outside. I don't know if this is characteristic of Hahn's or not but he rarely ever flies. The only time is after I put him on a perch to eat... when he's done he flies right back to my shoulder. Other than that he pretty much stays on/with me at all times even though he could fly elsewhere.

I agree with "crazyanimal" a few weeks ago. You have a fabulous bird, yet entertaining with her outside, without a harness there are signficant risks. Take it from me, one who has lost her beautiful bird to just such a moment of fun and apparent safety.

Never again!

Sounds a lot like my Quacker. I actually have 4 birds.

This is a hans macaw? He's so tiny compared to my 2 blue and golds :-) What a pretty little fella :-)

@dandon81 Ive got a cockatiel and his wings arnt clipped and i take him outside for walks on my shoulder all the time and hes never flew away :o

[ZevonMentioned]

@NerdBirdBeaker That's been my experience too, with Conrad.

Except for the time he leaped out of his carrier at the park and flew circles for a minute before realizing he didn't know how to fly down. Silly, silly bird.

My "baby" Hahn's just turned one. And while I've shared with her "Beakers" video star moments on YouTube in the past, she never took much notice. Yet tonight she was ALL about Beaker, watching eagerly and responding boldly, mimicking practically everything he did! It was sooooo cute. And it appears she's finally figured out who SHE is. Thanks Beaker!
