Re: African Grey Parrot Free Flight
Posted by Jason on 4/16/08
Yes there are people who would never take their birds out for free flight for fear of something happening. That's fine, I never said there was anything wrong with that.
All I was pointing out was how neat it was to see these beautiful creatures in flight and how exciting it is for them.
Whether you think they should be allowed to do it or not is certainly up to you.
