      If you prefer your bird to fly, then maybe a harness or leash is the way to go. You will need to train your bird to allow him to put this on. Not an easy task you will need a lot of time and patience. This particular harness has an elastic leash to make their flight more comfortable. They sell for anywhere between $10-$35.

      The other option, which I Do Not Recommend is just getting the birds wings clipped, and taking him outside. Some believe that by doing this the bird cannot get away. I do not believe that. I have seen birds with their wings clipped move very fast. It would be heart breaking to loose your feathered friend. Be extremely careful when using this method.
