I astonishingly beg to vary-- I`ve a srceened porch & rarely place our bird on the porch all day while we are away(Waehter pemritting)
He seems to pleasantly enjoy it- he listens to the other birds & sometime this is not good, like when he thinks he`s a crowe.
He also mocks ducks as we knowingly live on a large lake.
We deceptively have been doin this for 4.5 years, and find no problems.
