I'm still learning about my iPad, so hoping this will come up. This is Amigo in the yard, around sunset. He will follow anyone walking around the place, I think it's a social thing for him. Oops, I don't think I got the video up, but here is a pic.

I'm really working on learning how to post, luvmytooo! I'm going to have to call my kid back, to see why I couldn't get the video up, he is my go to guy when I have computer issues!

Sassy can also fly even though her wings are clipped. Would you know if this is considered free flight?

such a beautiful bird, he looks so happy! free flight is when a bird flies outside and is re call trained like amigo, i don't think sassy flying inside is free flight but I'm sure she could learn :)

I cannot see any pics or video... :31:

Free flight is when birds fly outside... When they fly inside the house, they just fly... lol

I had to load it again, so I could see the picture. Sad, lol.

But he looks so happy there! :D Does he go to strangers, or just people he knows?

Some of your questions about Amigo are answered in his page from when he was Pet of the Day!

See Amigo - Umbrella Cockatoo - May 1, 2012 for lots more about him, that way Mare doesn't have to type it all out again! (More pictures there, too!

Mare, do you have the video uploaded somewhere? Youtube gives you text to embed on a forum if it is there ...

Thank you for that link... I always enjoy reading about Amigo... He has an extraordinary life...

Hi Alisana, to answer your question, Amigo will follow most anyone around the property, sometimes too close for comfort, THEIR comfort, but will only come to me.

Thanks Petof the Day! I'm finding that I can't upload my videos into photo bucket, not sure if it's me or my iPads fault! I'm ok with photos, though. My kids say they will help when they come over.

Here is one of Amigo in "A" hole in a tree, it's not "HIS" hole, (the one he likes to sleep in), that's in a different tree.

that is great! he sleeps outside too? does he live outside? lol. i have never seen that(unless in an aviary of course). but very cool. i hope to let me QP free fly some day. only problem is cause they are s small, gota have a VERY good lookout for things like hawks. but to start, im going to clip wings to make it easy. hopefully in a year or 2 when everything is normal we can do some flying!
