Is it ok to let my birds have the room to themselves while I am away for the day?
I ask this in retrospect, because i have been doing this for a year now. IF I have to leave the house for 1 hour or 10, I close the door and let them have the room. The windows are covered except for where they perch, nothing electrical is running, no mirrors, no weird bits laying about. These arent big or even medium parrots, they're Bourkes, so a tiny bit smaller than budgies. They are unclipped, but dont spend a great deal of time flying. They like to hop around and bathe, explore the floor, jump on things and explore and when they are tired, they go back to their cages and perch.
I have noticed that they aren't bothered by thunderstorms, fireworks, construction or truck noises, so I don't forsee them ever panicking from that.
I guess I'm asking because I have noticed that a lot of larger parrot owners on here are concerned about leaving their birds out of their cages and wonder if I am missing thinking of something that could endanger my birds.
