Should I stop my parakeet from looking out the window?

Iris asked:


I bought a friend for my other parakeet maybe 9-ish months ago. They were good together right away not fightning. But I like to let them see outside the window or put the cage next to the window sometimes to give them fresh air. The newer bird always wants to go out with the other ones, calling out to them outside, while my old one doesn’t care about them and still pays attention to me. Sometimes I just want to let it go because it seems unhappy here and it makes me sad (Don’t worry I won’t). Should I keep the blinds slightly closed and the window closed so it can’t see outside? Maybe it’ll get closer to me and the other bird. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Sadly, trying to hold it is out of the question. Their feathers aren’t clipped and I don’t want them to be because they like to fly around the room. Even the one I’ve had longer isn’t hand trained but he still likes me. :(

Rise and Shine Automatic Window Blinds

I modified my alarm clock to open my bedroom shades whenever the alarm goes off (with buzzer or silently). Since the shades are now motorized they also open/close with a push of a button! www-personal.umich.edu

Is it wrong to look in someone’s window if they don’t shut the blinds?

Evol asked:


This is one of those questions that can be argued either way. I’d like to hear your thoughts.
wyomugs, you forgot about the little detail of the blinds being open and you missed the point entirely.
Also people are taking this way too seriously. It is a hypothetical question.
