Is it possible to bring out a parakeet from it's cage even if it's wings are not clipped?

Answer 1

Of course! I have four lovebirds, none of their wings clipped and they're let out of the cages multiple times a day. If the bird has not been tamed or accustomed to hands, or taught the essential command of "step up" yet, this is what you'll want to do.

If you're worried about the bird flying to somewhere you can't reach it or something, take it to a bird safe room. Preferably no shelves, no high locations you can't reach, no uncovered areas, no human food or drink left lying around, no crevices, electrical wires, etc. all those potential hazards. A bathroom is a good bird-safe room, since you can close most lids or close off areas you wouldn't want the bird to go. You can use treats to teach it to "step up" to your hand or finger. It takes consistency and lots of time and practice, but they learn.

Make sure wherever you ever intend to let the bird out, there are no safety hazards in the room. Letting a bird of any kind out of the cage is essential to receiving proper exercise and to learn to trust its people. I also find leaving birds unclipped allows them much more exercise, keeping them and their muscles in significantly better shape, since walking and climbing just don't cut it.

Also, in addition to the butterfly net, I agree it's a very last resort. It can be very traumatizing for the bird to be caught in such a way, and I'd like to suggest toweling the bird, too. Just toss a towel or soft cloth over the bird and hold its body. If it tries to bite, it won't hurt you; it'll hurt the cloth, and you're bringing the bird to safety. Good luck.

Answer 2

Yes it is. There is no need to clip any birds wings. Close ALL curtains/doors/windows. Tell others in the house you intend to let the bird out. Remove any house plants,in case of poisoning should your bird land and nibble.Remove any fans, or ANYTHING which could pose a threat to your bird!! Let your bird "do his own thing",leaving the cage door open. Many birds go on top of the cage and clamber down the sides to return to their cage should they want. If you have problems returning your bird,take a cloth and gently place over the bird and return him to cage. Alternatively, you can turn out the lights,birds will not fly in the dark.

Answer 3

Your bird should probably be really well trained so that it will obey your commands and readily stand on your finger. However, if your bird isn't and you still let it out, as did I, it might not go back in the cage, as mine didn't. Butterfly nets work well as a last resort.

Answer 4

Well yes of course it is. Make sure there are no open windows for the bird to fly out of, and no cats or other animals around that may harm it. Be prepared to climb up on furniture to retrieve it as they enjoy sitting ontop of curtain rods and other high places.

Answer 5

My dad had this very question when I was 8 years old.
He though the bird would stay on his shoulder when he walked outside.....Nope!
Flew to the highest point - which happened to be a huge pine tree, and I never saw my bird again.
