Nikki,
That is my problem here on the eastern plains of Colorado. Dean 
lives in the northern part of the state and has more of a grass land 
type plains, I live in the southern part of the state,where there is 
a lot of cacti, and sage brush, a long with a nasty crop of 
tumbleweeds this year. I worry about my birds having a bad landing 
into any of those plants. How ever when I did fly Miss June (Red 
tailed Grey) she never missed on her landing, it was always on me or 
the railing of the deck. I no longer fly her outside, at least for 
now, because she is being pretty darn stubborn and does not seem to 
want to recall, and I got scared after reading on this list about 
Greys not being good canidates for freeflying. And yes, I am scared 
of losing her. She still gets fly time although not as healthy of 
fly time if it was outside. She has the run of the house when ever I 
am home, a long with a few other feathered friends.
