Are you looking for ways to spend time with him and help him release stored up physical and mental energy? Try taking your bird for a walk. First, start out taking your bird for walks in the house so he adjusts to the new exercise routine. You should have a harness and leash on the bird so that he doesn’t fly away. Allow your bird to perch on your finger, arm or shoulder while slowly walking around the house. Once he’s accustomed to this, take him for short walks outside. Stop every now and again and give him the opportunity to look around and listen to what’s around him. If you let your bird hop on the grass or sidewalk stay close by and leave him on the leash. If any other person or animal approaches immediately pick your bird back up. Talk to your vet Glen Ellyn, IL for more ideas.
