The birds name is "Bo", we do let him out but not whilst the cats are in the house. They would eat him (or at least give it a go) <_<
They are always trying to sneak up to his cage but as soon as he hears them he lets out a really strange squawk that we can hear from anywhere in the house so we know to go running to the rescue. It's got to the point now where as soon as he squawks the cat?s run-off 'coz they know that we will come in to chase them out!
We've had Bo for approx 8 years, we had him before we got Reggie our first Bengal so he's pretty use to cats now
