My little baby JoJo is becoming a bird and I'm such a proud mama. But then again, I'm a bit of a worried one, too. JoJo has started to fly.
I would like to do some flight training to teach JoJo how to fly and do it safely. I was told getting a harness and doing flight training with the harness was a good way to do it. I really don't want to clip JoJo's wings but everyone I've talked to at the pet shop I go JoJo from keeps telling me it's better for the bird. I've read that it's actually the opposite, specially when they are as young as JoJo is and just starting to learn to fly. So I'm against clipping until they have full ability to fly without any issues.
If I'm correct on this, a good way to teach stable flight is 'come to me' training and using a harness when they are out and can take off when they want. With the harness, I would at least have control over the distance they could go and prevent any wall and ceiling whumps and still have enough length to reach a chair, cage top, end of the bed or other safe landing spot. Do I have the right idea on this? Correct me if I got something wrong. I want to do this right. Any advice is welcome.
