I know this seems like a weird and obvious question but I want to know. How can I make my parrot have the best life ever?

I gave him a good sized cage, he has plenty of toys, I put the food bowls on the bottom and now he uses 100% of his cage, I will offer him fruits and veggies every day, I keep everything very clean, I give him lots of human interaction and out of cage time, the pellets are coming this Wednesday. Am I missing anything? He doesn't go outside. The flight harness came today and I put it on him and he got strangled in it. I had to cut it out. I feel guilty and I feel like I'm not making him happy because I am not taking him outside. I haven't had much success with bird harnesses. It's just unnatural. Birds aren't used to diapers or harnesses and I don't feel like I need to stress then to wear it. I emailed the company and asked them if they can send me another one. If they do, I'll take it VERY slow. If they don't, I'm just not going to take him outdoors. The windows have screens on then and sunlight goes through it so I can open the window for him to have natural sunlight.

What else can I do that will make him happy?

Sounds like a great life for a bird to me. I also would say, try and keep his wings flighted. It's good exercise for him. And, since conures are very smart, maybe try and teach him some tricks to keep his mind sharp. Birds never stop learning, and I bet if you start as young as he is, he would master some cool routines.

His wings will stay flighted. There's no reason why it shouldn't be.

I honestly don't want to teach him tricks. I feel like birds don't really learn tricks. I don't have patience to teach tricks and stuff like that. That's kinda the reason how he got strangled from the harness.

They said they will try to fix the harness. I sent it back. If it is fixable then I will take it extremely slow. I'm just not that patient when it comes to teaching animals stuff because they can't understand me.

I heard sun conures were very good at learning tricks.Your bird has a great life they love to spend time with you.They dont have to go outside if the harness dosent work out for you then you can always bring him out in a carrier im sure he will like that.

And you could always let him play in the aviary and then take him back inside after a few hours.

Yes, the aviary would be a great play center for him. You could carry him out to it in a small cage for safety. That's how my birds travel between the house and the aviary.

You say you don't want to teach him tricks. I do think some tricks work to your advantage.

I'm not saying you have to turn him into a circus-bird riding little bikes and what not...

Having a bird that listens to commands like, 'fly to your cage' or 'come to me' or 'step up onto my hand' can be very easy. So I would advise you to train at least these three commands. Of course it's all up to you and training a bird does take dedication, patience and perseverance.

Excellent advise from members... I cant add any more... just to say look on YouTube, that may give you some ides.

Flight suit works better then harness for some birdshttp://www.flightquarters.com/
and easier to train

I have the harness and I have a flightsuit ordered so no pooping when out and I can put it over the harness so I have a longer lead too.I think harness training is much harder too Rocko still flies away sometimes when he sees the harness same with Loki except Loki dosent fly away she runs but when its on them they dont complain I think I need to Reharness train them.
