Im glad to hear that your bird is safe. My story isnt as scary as that one but I had just had my birds wings cliped and i decided to take him and his play stand out side on the front porch. While I was helping my parents with some yard work all the sudden there was a gust of wind and thats all he needed. He glided across my yard, the street and landed in my neighbors yard. Well that was enough of a scare for me so now when i take him outside he is in his cage.
