Beautiful girl! Nice to be able to take them out with you like that, eh?
That's interesting. Do you regularly take her out like that?
Cause my male is outside everyday almost. I'm a bit of a crazy bird man I think. I went and cut heaps of large branches from parks in my area and created a huge setup in my backyard and Yoshi goes mental on that thing for 2 hours every morning speaking to other birds in the area. Also I will regularly go around my area and find trees with their fruits on them and pick out a few branches and place it in his outside setup. He will systematically get every little bit of fruit off it(not sure if he's eating it or whether it's good for him or not but doesn't seem to do any harm)
A few times a week I will also drive to a random park/bushland, pick a nice tree and place him in it for an hour or so.
Oh and did i mention almost daily car trips listening to music.
I always wonder am I the only bird owner that's like this?

Looks like such fun...but I'm a chicken to let Oliver loose like that....one gust of wind or loud noise to startle him and I'm afraid he'd be gone...

Use an avian harness?

Yes, great suggestion I need to revisit and venture towards...just not sure how to get one on him or if he'd even like the idea. Thank you!

She is always out with me. She loves being out in the sun. Especially since she lives inside. I haven't tried driving with her yet, not sure how she'll take it. I'm so in love with her and does pretty much everything with her. My life revolves around her. Sounds like Yoshi is very much spoilt like my Peppa. And loving those branches. It gives me joy.
