Hey everyone!
My 10 month old B&G Macaw, Rhage, is a pro at going out with me. We go to lunch at a local pet friendly diner and chill on the deck, and take walks together a lot, often in crowds... He wears his harness and he's clipped. He enjoys sitting on my arm or shoulder, much to my annoyance, and isn't bothered by noise, crowds or pets.
My local community is doing a Fall Festival outside this month. Crafts, food trucks, carnival food, music, baked goods, vendors..... And it's supposed to be a warmer day. Just in case I planned on taking his hoodie for him, as well as fresh fruit snacks in his 'go bag'.
Do you think it's safe? I'm just worried about the foods cooking and what not. He's not keen on being touched by strangers, as he once was when he was younger, but I usually sit him on my forearm and politely tell people he's shy and not too touch. He's all about goofing and dancing to music and loves the attention, just not touches.
I also though about taking him on a trail hike for a fundraiser for our local Humane Society(it's a 1 mile walk with others and their leashed dogs) He's fine with dogs barking and running around... I have 2 huskies so noise and fast movement are common ROFL.
I'm just not sure about being in the woods. It's an open trail so it's not like I have to worry about him getting into trees, I'm more worried about Hawks and such, but he'll be on my arm and I am always on the look out.
What do you think?
