Thanks everyone for the replies.
His cage is always open when we are home, so he is free to come out and rome at his will. He is almost always out and about with us when we are home.
I would like to be able to give him even more freedom in the future. A friend of mine has a small property, he has a galah and a couple of cockatoos, they are free to go outside, fly, play, and the come back at their will. At night they stay inside with him in their cages. I could not believe this when he first told me. He even has various other birds that hang out in his yard, red-tail black cockatoos are a regular visitor. My friend told me a story about how the birds sit in this particular species of tree, they listen to the branch for this kind of worm, then pinpoint where it is, then rip the bark away and dig into the branch until they get to the worm. Birds are so much more intelligent than I ever imagined.
I hope to one day let Pepe fly around like his birds, I dont think I will ever clip his wings. My friend believes that since I have handraised him, I should be able to let him rome when he's older. I have seen these harness things with a lead for birds. I might use it to train him. I dont want him to take off and not come back.
