How has Blu been since the flight? More flying or did he scare himself and you for the day?
I understand your frustration.
Blu has been flying daily since his first flight, and he's pretty amazing at it now. He got the hang of it after only about 2 or 3 tries.
I think it's beautiful to see him fly, and I will never take it away from him because he has a safe place to do it and he loves it but....it's definitely been a little frustrating for me (and I sometimes secretly wish I could clip him. But I won't)
He's been doing this new thing where he hangs from a table with his beak until he can't hold on anymore, then he almost falls, then he flies at the last second before he hits the ground...and he flies to me.
He wants to be on me so often that I worry he's getting too attached to me, and his hanging and flying is turning into almost an obsession. I wouldn't care so much if I didn't worry that he's going to hurt himself when he hangs (I worry he could break a leg or crack his beak because you should see how weird it looks)
Today I just bought a brand new table and I'm hoping that will put an end to his obsessive hanging from the beak stunt.
I really love that he's flying and he loves it too, but it hasn't turned out to be as carefree as I had hoped. It's not his flying that's dangerous here, just the hanging and his clingyness that worries me.
I just have to roll with the punches and keep alternating his environment till we get everything right, I guess.
I'm hoping this will get easier once his hormones pass though. He's just an all around handful sometimes right now.
But now I see him with wings, it makes me sad to think of how he looked when they were clipped. Plus, he would fall alot when clipped and I feel that was more dangerous (I lost my soul bird to an accident because he was clipped for med administration. So I reeaaally worry about falling when clipped)
It's difficult sometimes because he has the ability to do what ever he wants now. But he's a bird so I'm going to let him fly. He may drive me crazy in the process sometimes but it's what I signed up for
