if birds enjoy being in cages, then why do you need to keep the door locked2007-11-24 17:22:58

Like children, you do not leave them alone without having some sense of control over their environment. I prefer that they not bite into power cords, poop on my couch, or climb up and fall into the toilet and drown when I am not watching them.

If you had kids, you wouldn't let them run all over the place without knowing what they were up to. Well, it's the same thing with parrots.

They don't really enjoy being in cages.but it is their home. If they get out they could get hurt and/or killed. It's for their own protection and it also keeps them from messing up your house.of course if you're against having birds in cages, then you shouldn't keep them as pets.

I have two birds and I only close their cages at night so I can cover them up. And the Cockatiel will come to me and start yelling in my ear and flapping his wings wanting me to put him to bed when he is ready. He wants to be put in the cage and covered up. The Conure will start saying Nite Nite when he wants to go to bed and as well wants to be put in the cage and covered up.

Neither cage is locked at any time other then bed time or when some one comes over with kids and we don't want the kids to get bit. Both cages have an open top so the birds are pretty much on top of the cage all the time. Right now the Conure is on the back of my chair trying to get me to play and the tiel .. Humm well I have no idea of where she is. I think maybe in the kitchen somewhere. She will holler when she wants me or will come find me in a few minutes.
