Hey Sharon, hope your well? Im very interested and intrigued to know why people walk their birds?? Im not against it or anything, just not sure why its done? Dont they get tired?? Or am I having a doff moment and its used for when they are sitting on your shoulder?? Hahahaha - if thats the case then I have had the doffest moment this year ;)

It's a "stroller" of sorts. I walk a lot, and was toying with the idea of taking Levi and Fred... not at the same time, of course. It would just be for a change of scenery for them, as they won't be walking. ;) It's probably a dumb idea...

Wahahahaha - I will claim my doff moment!!!!! It sounds like a great idea!!! I have seen pics of people who have attatched perches to the stroller. Sorry, I couldnt get the pic to load. Why not take them together?? If they get on well then they can both sit on the perch?? Maybe Im wrong here - I have no experience with using something like this - it sounds like fun!!!

It sounds like something I'd enjoy...I'm not sure about the birds. Fred and Levi could not go together....Levi has too much attitude, and Fred has too much beak! LOL! Neither could go until next summer, but if I bought the stroller now, I'd have time to get them used to it. I'd probably be the laughing stock of the town, here, as very few people own birds much less take them walking in a stroller. I can just imagine meeting someone on my walk, and Fred peeking out and saying Hello, How are you!...which is what he usually says when he meets someone.

That is adorable! I bet the change of scenery as well as the sunshine would be great for your fids :) I can just imagine how many people will stop you along the way to take a look and ask questions. Soon you will be glowing with pride and not embarrassment for taking your birdies on a stroll :)

I can't see why not, I take Quincy out for rides in the truck often in his large metal dog crate, I think he really enjoys the change of scenery, he always perks up and watches out the windows intently, since they'll be kept secure away from harm I don't see a problem with it :)

That is a wonderful idea I think.:D I cant really make out the picture, how does the windows look? I will also put a wooden plank on top of the material so my birdie will have more balance.

I will have to Iliad the pictures but I took mikki with me to the races yesterday just using my aviator harness it was great he loved being out and about interacting in all the action and playing with the kids

He's been so chirpy today after being out yesterday
I think the change in scenery does them good
kinda like us going out shopping on s nice sunny day after a week of rain we feel totally refreshed
