    Owners being irresponsible are not the only way birds gain access to the
    outdoors. You have been lucky, I hope your luck holds out. And when a
    bird is startled, they don't always have good aim/judgement. Haven't you
    ever seen a wild bird fly into a car when something is chasing it? As far
    as bird proofing ONE room, I'm sorry, but me and most of the people I know
    consider our birds part of our family and would never consider bannishing
    them to one room, seperated from us. To us, THAT is cruel. -Alison-
