Heard conflicting views on this one and wondered what the general consensus was?

Assuming the temperatures are okay, (admittedly not often in England! ) is it really 'safe' to take your BP outside and into the garden? I hear some people even see fit to let them roam on the lawn, etc?! Is this safe (for them, I mean!)

What are the risks with regards to predators like birds and things? And also parasites, etc?


Thanks.
