Where's Baubo?!

Baubo has been in a strange mood lately. But so have I. It's this whole below freezing temps not going out or getting sun thing that's going on. I think we will both do better when we can sit out in the back yard again.

Baubo is fully flighted. Which means she has all of her wing feathers.But she has never even made an attempt to ever fly. In fact she can hardly stand to be more than ten yards away from either of us. She is just to plain scared to fly away. And unfortunately she probably would not survive long on her own if she did.

Which raises another concern about exotic bird ownership. These fragile creatures thrive in warmer weather, and die in cold weather. Baubo was born and bred in Chicago, Illinois; not exactly known for its hospitable weather. There is very little keeping her alive beyond the shelter of the house. I can't imagine she feels much better than I do about being trapped inside by the frigid temps.
