Thanks for the nice comments. Erik was nervous at first and didn't want to leave my shoulder, but after a few minutes he settled down and sat on the branch quite happily. I am looking forward to taking him out more. I will keep you all informed of his travels!

Erik is such a cutie! He looked quite intrigued by the flowers in front of him

He usually does his Sun Conure Scream at anything he doesn't like, but he was surprisingly quiet and quite relaxed in the garden.

Bixby looks gorgeous!!! He is so beautiful I hardly noticed the flowers behind him, hard to tear my eyes away from the Incredible Hulk

Thanks, Terry! Hahaha! And Bixby can certainly hold a grudge like the Incredible Hulk, I'll tell you that much! Turns out he's still not a fan of the harness, despite all his months away from it and the past few weeks of conditioning. He gave me the cold shoulder for quite a while after I brought him in! Lol!

Love the pictures of the 2 "first timers" Erik and Bixby! Hope both of these very handsome boys have many further adventures outdoors Do have to say Erik looks slightly confused, but totally excited. And I'm sure with time, Bixby will learn to release his death grip of his daddy's hand.[/QUOTE

Thanks, April! And I hope you're right about that death grip. Turns out my boy has a lot more strength in those talons than I'd thought!

I'm sure Bixby will get used to his harness and the outdoors over time Remember, our pampered babies sit on 'pedicure perches' and have rope swings and sleep in 'cozy huts' at night. A tree or bush is completely foreign and unnatural for them, and probably quite scary until they learn it's not going to eat them I hope his grip loosens up too, their talons are strong AND sharp.
