Happy hatchway Rowdy! I love MMs, they are one of the most beautiful parrots IMO.

A harness for his body would be a safer option than a leash around his leg band. Parrots do not have very strong legs and can be easily injured by leg leashes if they try to fly off or fall. A closed band is especially dangerous, as it would need to be cut off by the vet if he got injured and the leg began to swell, and if not cut off in time, could lead to amputation. A year is a great age to begin harness training! Still very young and accepting of new things

this is the 1st time as i mentioned but alas summer is over so me bringing him outside has ended but over the course of the next few months until spring i shall continue to try a harness so he will be acceptible to it when time for outside rolls around again.
