I used to have a Mexican redhead.......yeah the bird kind... I would let her out once in a while so it can go and explore... she always came back to me. It would sit on our tree and call out to other local parrot colonies that lived in the area, returning home before sunset. Each time, after each return, I would place him back in the house on his bird cage that was never locked. I stopped locking it after she figured out how to open it so it became pretty useless to lock it. I have a Cats and dogs, they are free to come and go as they wish. They always manage to be back before sunset... except for one of my dogs... she's just a ******* and needs to be found at times, but not always. They haven't left after 13 years of being here... ...point is, when you open your home to wild thing, sometimes even the wildest of things will not leave you without the need to have it caged or behind locked doors..... Now, If I can get someone to come get my wife, this wild Bch is driving me CRAZY! 4951
