That's true. People have had hawks dive bomb a pigeon sitting on their owners shoulder. You wouldn't think so, but it's true. If that were to happen, poor Duke would be so terrified that he would fly off, and probably get lost. It happens. Just as bad, the hawk could catch him right off your shoulder. I'd only have him outside in a cage or enclosure where it would be safe.

Hello,
wow he is CUTE! As far as age goes, if those pictures are up todate.. I would still say he is a youngster....maybe a bit over 30days or around 30, but not much. He still has that baby look... Yep, many have lost their pets do to allowing them outdoors....but in the end it is your choice. I'm located in Southern,IN, if I can ever help you out let me know. -Hilly

Thanks again everyone...I sure would'nt want anything to happen to Duke so I have followed the advise of all. I am no longer taking him outside free to fly. I have a very large cage which we visit when the weather is good otherwise we hang around in the family room which has a very large picture window. He seems content to sit on the back of the couch next to the window and check things out or on my shoulder leaning against my neck dosing as I rub his neck. (his usaual place to hang out).
By the way I think Duke is a he for sure now. Just the other day I had a pair of two tone gray socks on and he started cooing and circling my feet dragging his fanned out tail. Is this a true indication of his gender? It sure was comical.

chutez, well you made me laugh out loud just now. Just picturing Duke have fun with your two tone gray socks and your feet. I would say its a male lets see if it lays an egg. Sometimes thats the only way I can tell. But I'm new at this. Glad you took the advice and your keeping him inside and when your outside its in a cage. You won't regret you decision. So happy you saved Duke and the two of you sound and look happy. Great job. Whenever I see 2 tone gray socks I will be thinking of DUKE. min

I'm glad you decided not to let him outside without being caged. You'll never regret that decision. He could be a male...................or just an aggressive female. LOL. Just what you need, right?
