snoepgoed123 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 These are some really lovely photos, I can tell you love her very much. However I do have a concern about the chain around her foot. It's been discussed on the forum before that it's not the best idea to do that. I don't know if you are holding the other end or not, but either way is dangerous. If the other end of the chain is free, if she flies into a tree, she could get tangled. If you or someone else is holding the other chain, if she gets spooked, she may fly off and the force of her flight may cause her to break her leg. I'm sure she hasn't spooked off yet, but it doesn't mean that she won't at some point in the future. Please don't take it the wrong way and think that I'm bashing you personally, because I'm not, I just want the best for kiki just like you. If you want to continue with outside flight, consider a flight harness. A lot of people including myself enjoy the aviator harness. It has a bungee rope so that if Kiki were to get spooked off she would bounce back, instead of a sudden stop. There's a thread either on this page or the following page about a lot of us discussing the aviator harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistyparrot Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 What a beautiful bird. Well done. I must agree with snoepgoed123 about harnesses though. There is lots of good advice here :http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?11617-aviator-harness! Steve n Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I too do not like seeing chain hanging from the foot of a bird not to mention allowing her free flight, so many things could happen that would not end well but I will say that Kiki is abeautiful Tag. This is my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I agree with the others, the chain is a bit worrisome.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Where are you from greykiki? Perhaps if you explained the reason for the chain and its use, it would clarify things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
