We have a local around here that has quite a few birds. He creates quite a scene when he goes walking through the streets with his two gorgeous scarlett macaws! This is the type of guy that looks like a tough biker dude, but you can tell he's got a way with his birds. A local artist who does beautiful watercolors that end up in museums, painted him and his birds a while back. I wouldn't trust taking birds out myself though....wings clipped or not. Too many things could go wrong.
