I got to read the whole interview. This is a 45 year old Blue and Gold. He is wild caught so could be older. He spent the first 25 years in a small 4' by 3' by 2' cage. This guy got him and is a traveling worker by trade. After owning him for 5 years he started to turn him lose during the day and bring him in at night. They travel all over and do this. Right now they are in a small town about 35 min North of me.

Could you imagine just turning your guy lose in a strange town? He says how he knows he is taking big chances and that there is a good chance that he will lose him to accident one day, but can not dream of putting him back in a cage. I guess he has offered him to a zoo but the zoo did not want him.

Yes, Shelly, I can imagine it but I would be afraid to try this with Amigo. He obviously has a very strong bond with his bird but traffic and unknowns out there, would stop me from doing this. Actually, it's pretty awesome. I know many carpenters that take their dogs to jobs!
