Today is a beautiful spring day. I decided to take the squeak squad ( 4 caiques) in their carriers outside. I also took Neytiri (CAG) who just turned two yesterday out on her harness for the fresh air.
Neytiri was flying in a circle nicely and landed in the grass. I went to pick her up and as I bent down a hawk flew over my head and landed in the tree behind me about 20 feet away. I scooped Neytiri up and held her close. Ran to the open garage and yelled to hubby to get the squeaks. I was so scared.
I was looking to the sky for hawks as we have many here. Please be ever vigilant when your bird is in the open.
