So here is my plan for out of cage time:
I wake up at 6:00 every morning and get home from school at 2:30.
Monday: School. Out of cage time 2:30-4:30. 5:00 dinner time and other stuff. 6:00 leave for dance. Get home from dance at 7:50. About 30 minutes out of cage. Birdie bed time at 8:20.
Tuesday: School. Nothing after school. 2:30-4:30 out of cage. 5:00 dinner and other stuff. 6:00 out of cage time until about 7:30 then bed time at 8:20.
Wednesday: 2:30-3:30 out of cage time. Out for dance 3:30-6:50. 6:50-8:00 out of cage time. 8:20 bed time.
Thursday: 2:30-3:30 out of cage. 3:30-6:20 dance. 6:20 dinner. 6:40-8:00 out of cage. Bed time.
Friday: 2:30-3:30 out of cage. Brother piano lesson. 6:00-7:30 out of cage. I go rollerblading every Friday 8-about 11.
Saturday: I usually go shopping or to a friends house so as much as I can on Saturday.
Sunday: Usually home all day. Probably take him outside a little.
That is my schedule. It may change but thats what it will be like. Thanks for help :) :grey:

seems fine to me, but it depends on your bird, if he seems happy with it?
just make sure his cage is kept interesting with a rotation of toys etc hiding food in toys etc is a good time killer for birds

I will rotate toys thanks for the idea of hiding food.

It is wonderful that you have come up with such a detailed schedule to make sure your bird gets out of cage time. Sounds like enough time to me, especially if you rotate toys and provide foraging opportunities.

That sounds ideal and i also love your plans, Birds vary from each other, but personally elsie will not settle unless i get her out, even for 10mins, when i get up in the mornings i then feed her and she is fine and will settle again... but you may find some attention when you get up may help :)

Yeah I may take him out in the morning for a little while and feed him his breakfast.
