None of my birds like to cuddle. Scritches, yes. Timneh does not 
like scritches.

Out of cage time: 2 to 3 hours daily.

Outdoor flight: 3 or 4 times a week, up to one hour at a time. 
Once or twice a week, birds are put in small cages outside for most 
of the day. Timneh does NOT fly outdoors.

Flying area:
We drive about a mile from our house. The birds fly in an open area 
surrounded by slightly higher ground on three sides and an oil 
refinery and the sea on the fourth side. There are trees (maximum 
height 35 or 40 feet) dotting the surrounding area.

I have started flying the African Grey from my house.
