TANGO WITHOUT A CAGE

This is Tango. He is a wonderful old Greenwing macaw. When his family is away, I go over every morning and put him in his outdoor cage. But when he is brought indoors in the evening, he resides simply on a bird stand. Does he climb down and get into mischief? Well, he climbs down. But, so far, he seems to behave himself pretty good, for a macaw. His favorite mischief is to dump his water cup. You'd think he'd figure out that when he does this, he goes without water! He also thought it was fun to climb down and walk over to unlatch the cage containing two cockatoos in the next room. This was nipped in the bud by installing two padlocks on their cage. Every morning, he's back on his perch stand. Who knows what goes on the rest of the time! Many homes would be chewed into toothpicks if a macaw was allowed to live like this. I suppose Tango just knows not to eat the furniture!
