Would they return to their cage if it was opened outside? IME very few would.
I much prefer doing things like feeding wild birds, this has all the benefits of bird ownership with none of the down sides. In time their friendly enough to to pat and nag when it's dinner time.
- udp 8y agoNo, they’d freak out. They would completely panic, get lost, and then get eaten by a cat or die of cold. I also feed wild birds. Everyone should. After having to bury a whole clutch of sparrow fledglings a few months ago after a cat got the nest I’m pretty sure my budgies - spending the entire day happily grooming each other, playing with toys, and enjoying unlimited free food - have a better time than them, though.
