I said train toward outdoor freeflight. I'm doing the same with Kili. This doesn't mean I will outdoor freefly either parrot but I want them to be proficient and reliably enough that I would feel comfortable getting them back if they got out of the house or off the harness. If someday I find that the birds are well trained enough for outdoor freeflight, I might consider it. As of now though, I definitely don't think Kili is reliable enough for it. However, the Cape being never clipped might have a better chance but we'll see. It's just icing on the cake and I won't be too disappointed if it never happens.

Warning, outdoor freeflight is a very risky business, please do not attempt it on your own.
