Hi! I have two parakeets, Kiwi and Sky. They had a previous home where I believe they may not have been handled very gently. In short they are terrified of everything. I am to a point where I can put my hand in the cage and Sky might nibble some millet...working on it.
Anyway, my question is about taking them outside.
I have always taken my previous birds outside in their cage to get fresh air and enjoy warm weather, and they loved it. I always viewed it enrichment.
I feel like I should take Kiwi and Sky outside so they have the same opportunity, but here is my question: Seeing how scared they are of everything, would they be better off just staying inside where things are more familiar? I am not sure I will ever be able to tame them (which is OK) but just not sure with outside.
Thanks for any views on this!
