Birds cute but I can't have one, my family has lot of cats. If I own a bird, it will be like Tweety and Slyvester situation (except that I don't have a dog to save the bird)
You are thinking about wild birds. The hand reared ones think that they are people. I used to have birds and would frequently let them roam about the room. Half the time, they went back to their cages on their own, the same way that you return to your bed every night. They feel comfortable and safe there. ~L
