Just a quick question

how old doe a baby have to be before u can take him outside? with a harness on, I'am thinking I have 3 days off next week and I would like to take Rudy out for some fresh air and sunshine, we have decided on Rudy for his or her name , he /she will be 10 weeks old this friday so is that to young?

As long sd the weather is good I don't see a problem I took Adaya everywhere with me when she was that age. just don't let to many people pet her unless the wash their hands first you don't want her to get sick. just treat her like you would a new baby You wouldn't hold a new baby unless you washed your hands first. You can buy some of that dry wash stuff that way if people want to pet her you can ask them to use the dry wash first least it kills any germs they may have on their hands

Your parrot is VERY young. I would not recommend bringing your parrot outside until they are physically stronger and FULLY feathered. Baby parrots have very weak immune systems and are vulnerable to all kinds of germs and diseases. They also get chilled easily when they are young and drafts are not good for them.

Rudy will be 10 weeks old this friday and she has all her feathers but I would not take her out unless it was very warm out like in the 80's and it will only be for 10 maybe 15 minutes at the most just long enough for her to get a little sunshine and fresh air

I think it would be fine to take Rudy out for some sunshine. I also took Ecko outside in his harness at that age. I actually took him everywhere with me in a box since 8 weeks old until he started to fly and then I started using the harness. I thought it was very important to get him use to the outside world and his harness so he can be well socialized. I bet Rudy would love the outside world, Ecko sure does. <br><br>Post edited by: caitb2007, at: 2009/07/14 21:08
