Picture 'L' shape Flight.
Tweety was a terrible flyer and her deformed feet meant she was shocking at landing as well. She could not fly when I got her at 6mths old. I worked with her, to the point of pushing her out of the cage in the mornings, knowing she had to fly back to get the food and water.
She did manage to fly far enough that I lost her, after making a silly mistake.
Tinkerbell is one speciality flyer, she is high speed motion. Yet seems to have very little trouble avoiding things, like when I move the plants around. Or when she does a runner from me, she will go into the lounge. She can also stop on a dime.
Henry has only just got the strength to fly freely. He was only a straight line fid when I got him, and over 4mts he was poked. A panic flight would see him crash into what ever was in front of him. 5mths later he can fly up to a glass door realise that it is glass and fly around it. Plus, only just the other day, he came to the new small gym by the dinner table and hovered around the top as it is not the same easy landing the old one had.
His flight is a lot better and he avoids Tinkerbell well when the cross at speed, (she used to knock him out of the way) going in opisite directions. He is not fast, but not that slow anymore.
Coco was a master at flight, not fast, just very good at the art of flying. he could hover around my head while trying to land on it and I was trying to brush my hair.
He was just a house guest for 11days.
He was one that worried me, as I have seen him have a blind panic moment on two occasions in his on home. I have seen him fly straight into a wall, into window. And it is not pretty, so I can understand why some get worried about them hurting theirsevles and they then get the fid clipped.
Luckly Coco has been left unclipped. And he did not fly into a thing, well maybe he did try it once, but it was not flying into it, he was on a rack beside the door (about 10in away) and I think he tried to take off in that direction. So basicly jumped into it.
The thing I always go on about, is that none on them have crashed into all the glass around them? Well again maybe Henry has, but that was after Tinkerbell came screaming around the corner and he was making every effort to stay airbourne going the other way. End result she knocked him off balance, crash.
I have posted before, the inside of the 'L' shaped conservatory is all glass. The other side and end are 3x doors (glass), 2x french windows (all glass). None of this is covered, except the blinds hung down to help stop some of the heat.
Sure they have flown up to it enough to leave the odd dust mark.
She does the U but she's also a creative flyer. And a very frantic one. Some time she'll ZOOM in a bee line and other times she'll kind of take off and make it up as she goes.... including the destination, which doesn't work out so well. xD Flies around in crazy circles until she picks a spot. What a weird bird! Hehe
That's so funny. I'm sure they'll get the hang of it eventually.
