took the stubborn girl outside

The other night something strange happened, i really dont know why it happened but hey...

It was around 8pm and Enzo was on my shoulder and would not budge from me. I was finishing up a bit of cleaning and wanted to take the rubbish out and move the bin to my short driveway for the next days collection.

I had a chat with her to move as i was going out (she understands me when i say im going out), but she went into stubborn mode. So i took her out with me on my shoulder, it was dark, windy and there was a very light shower, I sort of came to my senses after 10-15s and took her back in. She could have been carried away with the wind!

She immediately flew through the front door and to her favourite perch and shook her head/body/tail for a good 10s, totally excited about what had just happened, her first time outdoors uncaged.



Im going to have to dig that aviator out again and try and trainer.



Thinking back i was a little silly doing it but it paid off, thankfully.

Glad she is okay! I hate the Aviator...WELL, Noodles does...but we are going to keep trying this spring

Whooo Boy, Enzo dodged a bullet , outside with no harness ! Harness training can take awhile but is doable with any parrot that has a favorite treat. See my video on harness training that i just put up.

WOW! You certainly dodged a bullet. That could have gone very wrong.
Glad she flew in the house, b/c the other could have been devastating.

You have got a clever girl there


Mine keep trying to do the same thing; I actually have nightmares about it happening some day.


You can use this to your advantage and teach her to always fly back inside ...
